Jennifer Lawrence has expressed, "Every day that passes, I feel older." Despite being just 32 years old, the actress is making a comeback with her latest project, 'No Bad Rolls,' a comedy by Gene Stupnitsky, known for his work on 'The Office.'
Lawrence's career, which began in 2008, has been marked by a string of successes, awards, and blockbusters, with minimal setbacks, such as a stumble on the way to the Oscars and a hacking incident involving private photos. Despite these challenges, Lawrence is returning, claiming to be more mature, self-possessed, and anxious, especially as she takes on the role of a producer for her own films.
In a recent interview during her European tour, Lawrence discussed her latest film, 'No Bad Vibes,' which is a departure from her usual serious roles. The comedy, directed by Stupnitsky, is not intended for awards but aims to provide a humorous take on them. Lawrence acknowledges that working with younger people makes her feel older, and she finds excitement in breaking away from stereotypes associated with women in comedy.
Reflecting on her evolution as a producer, Lawrence mentions a turning point about five or six years ago when she, along with a friend, envisioned making dreams come true for cinephiles and film enthusiasts—being able to choose directors to work with based on personal preferences.
'No Bad Vibes' revolves around a modern twist on the "pretty woman" concept, where Lawrence's character agrees to an unconventional arrangement to save her family home. The film explores complex themes with a humorous touch, challenging the audience to question their own moral judgments.
Addressing the provocative and explicit nature of the film, Lawrence defends the age rating, stating that pushing the limits and blurring the line between appropriate and inappropriate is essential for genuine self-reflection and humor.
Lawrence also shares insights into her experience working with actor Andrew Bart Feldman, emphasizing the generational gap and the shared anxiety prevalent in today's society. As a mother, Lawrence reflects on the pitfalls of being a helicopter parent, acknowledging the fine line between ensuring a child's happiness and becoming overbearing.
In discussing the evolution of teen comedies, Lawrence highlights the changing humor that reflects the shifting cultural landscape and new anxieties. Despite her commitment to diverse roles, Lawrence recently expressed interest in returning to the 'Hunger Games' franchise, emphasizing its relevance in portraying social inequality.
In summary, Jennifer Lawrence's return to the spotlight is marked by a willingness to explore new genres, challenge stereotypes, and engage in thought-provoking projects, showcasing her growth as an artist and a producer.
