Jennifer Lawrence Reveals Which Popular Movie She Was ‘Immediately’ Rejected From

Jennifer Lawrence rose to fame as Katniss Everdeen in the Hunger Games film franchise, but her career could have taken a different path had she landed one big audition.

The Oscar winner recently revealed during an appearance on Spotify’s The Rewatchables”= podcast that she had auditioned for a role in Twilight.

“I auditioned for Twilight,” she said in the interview earlier this month. “They turned me down immediately. I didn’t even get a callback. But my life would’ve been totally different. I got Hunger Games, I think, like, a year later.”

But Lawrence said she almost didn’t accept the offer to play Katniss after witnessing the level of “fandom” surrounding the Twilight movies and its stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner.

The first Twilight film premiered in 2008, and the final installment, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2, was released in 2012. The first Hunger Games movie premiered in 2012.

“I almost didn’t do Hunger Games because Twilight had come out and that fandom had happened,” she said, adding that she was concerned that Hunger Games would bring a similar “level of fame.”

“I just assumed it was going to be like Twilight— the Twilight level of fame, and that was just never something I had in mind,” she said. “I wanted to do indies, I wanted to do good films, but I didn’t want to be the most famous person on the planet. That’s a very different life than what I pictured for myself.”

Lawrence added that she would have been “miserable” had she endured the media frenzy and tabloid fodder the Twilight actors dealt with while making the vampire film saga.

Clearly, Lawrence’s casting in The Hunger Games film franchise was meant to be.

The No Hard Feelings actor told Variety in an article published earlier this month that she would “totally” return to the film franchise if given an opportunity.

“If Katniss ever could ever come back into my life, 100 percent,” she said.

Lawrence starred in all four Hunger Games installments from 2012 to 2015. She will not appear in an upcoming sequel for the franchise, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes.

Jennifer Lawrence Admits She Was An ‘Accidental Bully’ In High School

Jennifer Lawrence admitted she was an “accidental bully” to someone in school and still keeps track of the person.

“I was an accidental bully because I pantsed this kid named Tyler,” the star said in an interview with E! News last week while promoting her new movie, No Hard Feelings.

“We were, like, pantsing people at a football game and I accidentally grabbed his underwear and he got really embarrassed,” Lawrence explained.

“I feel really bad, I like sometimes Google him,” she continued. “Just to be like, ‘You all right?’”

No hard feelings, Tyler? We’ll have to see.

The Hunger Games actor also said she was bullied herself by one girl, who she named with no remorse.

“This one girl named Meredith handed me a stack of invitations to her birthday party, but I was not invited,” she said, as her co-star Andrew Feldman gasped and exclaimed, “Oh my god!”

“She asked me to hand them out. Isn’t that so mean?” Lawrence said, adding: “It’s fine, I spit on them and threw them in the trash.”

While Lawrence may or may not be drawing on her past school experiences for her new movie, she told Vogue last year “so many of my films in the past have been about my mother, my childhood”.

And now that she’s a new mom, she told the outlet, she wonders “what will happen now that I’ll be witnessing somebody else’s childhood”.

“And I wonder what he’s going to be talking about with his therapist,” she said. “She wouldn’t put me down. She kisses me on the mouth. She asked me not to go to college.”
