“They were saying, ‘All of the main movie stars aren’t very underweight.’ I said, ‘Yeah, because once you get to a certain place, people will hire you.’”
Jennifer Lawrence has dealt with unreasonable standards and weight pressures ever since she first broke out in Hollywood. And because she's unapologetically herself, she wasn't ever afraid to speak out about it.
And naturally, she had a lot of thoughts about the issue.

I would hope so. I would hope that there are more opportunities for women. I was having a conversation with somebody about the struggles with weight in the industry. I know that's something I talk nonstop about. And they were saying, 'All of the main movie stars aren't very underweight.' I said, 'Yeah, because once you get to a certain place, people will hire you. They just want you to be in the movie, so they don't care.'
