March 8, 2023Jennifer Lawrence’s 60 Minutes Interview Left Fans Stunned Over Her Story
From “The Hunger Games” to “Mother!,” there are few performers out there with quite the range of Jennifer Lawrence.
The actress has been working since the late 2000s, but it would be the 2010s that won Lawrence worldwide critical and audience acclaim.
After making an Oscar-nominated splash with 2010’s “Winter Bone,” Lawrence lent her talents to a wide array of high-profile films ranging from billion-dollar blockbuster franchises to smaller-scaled indie projects.
From taking on the role of Mystique in the “X-Men” films starting in 2011’s “X-Men: First Class” to portraying real-life millionaire
Joy Mangano in 2015’s “Joy,” Lawrence’s place in the entertainment world couldn’t have been any more sealed.
#During that time, she even made some history, becoming the second-youngest best actress winner at the Oscars for her work in 2012’s “Silver Linings Playbook” and becoming the world’s highest-paid actress in 2015 and 2016.
It’s hard not to be inspired by what Lawrence has been able to accomplish in such a time. But for the “Don’t Look Up” actress, it wasn’t always smooth sailing.
And an interview with Lawrence on the CBS show “60 Minutes” reveals the major sacrifice she made during her childhood to pursue her passions.
After leaving the agency, Jennifer was spotted by an agent in the midst of shooting an H&M ad and asked to take her picture.
The next day, that agent followed up with her and invited her to the studio for a cold-read audition.
Again, the agents were highly impressed and strongly urged her mother to allow her to spend the summer in New York City.
As fate would have it, she did and subsequently appeared in commercials such as MTV’s “My Super Sweet 16” and played a role in the movie The Devil You Know (2013).
Shortly thereafter, her career forced her and her family to move to Los Angeles, where she was cast in the TBS sitcom The Bill Engvall Show (2007), and in smaller movies such as The Poker House (2008) and The Burning Plain (2008).
Her big break came when she played Ree in Winter’s Bone (2010), which landed her Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations. Shortly thereafter, she secured the role of Mystique in franchise reboot X-Men: First Class (2011), which went on to be a hit in Summer 2011.
Around this time, Lawrence scored the role of a lifetime when she was cast as Katniss Everdeen in the big-screen adaptation of literary sensation
The Hunger Games (2012). The film went on to become one of the highest-grossing movies ever, with over $407 million at the US box office,
and instantly propelled Lawrence to the A-list among young actors and actresses. Three Hunger Games sequels were released in each consecutive November:
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013), The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 (2014), and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 (2015), with Lawrence reprising her role.
In 2012, the romantic comedy Silver Linings Playbook (2012) earned her the Academy Award, Golden Globe Award, Screen Actors Guild Award,
Satellite Award, and the Independent Spirit Award for Best Actress, among other accolades, making her the youngest person ever to be nominated for two Academy Awards for Best Actress and the second-youngest Best Actress winner.
Lawrence Doesn’t Have An Issue With Missing Out On High School
It doesn’t take more than one viewing of a Jennifer Lawrence performance to grasp how much the actress has given to her field.
And that urge to go above and beyond for her work started out long before Lawrence became the beloved actress many know her as today.
In an interview with 60 Minutes, when asked if she finished high school, Lawrence responds, “I dropped out of middle school, I technically don’t have a GED or a diploma.”
When asked if she regrets not partaking in the high school experience, Lawrence, who describes herself as a self-educated individual, honestly replies, “No, I really don’t.
I wanted to forge my own path, I found what I wanted to do and I didn’t want anything getting in the way of it.” To the “Causeway” star, her career was her priority, mentioning later in the interview that acting mattered to her even more than her friends for quite some time.
As if Lawrence’s stellar performances and inspirational characters aren’t enough to admire, the commitment to her craft is more than enough to make her success all the more deserving.
On the interview’s YouTube upload, user Saoirse Kavanagh perhaps puts it best, commenting, “At 14 she knew exactly what she wanted to do with her life and went out there and did it, and succeed beautifully at it. For that she deserves credit.”
She starred in David O. Russell’s popular drama-comedy American Hustle (2013), as Roselyn Rosenfield, and teamed with the director again to play inventor
Joy Mangano in another family comedy, Joy (2015), for which she earned Oscar nominations for both roles (Best Supporting Actress and Best Actress, respectively).
