During a recent episode of The Rewatchables, Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence opened up about her failed audition for one of the blockbuster Twilight movies.
Lawrence revealed she didn’t even received a callback for it. However, the snub allowed her to land her breakout role just one year later in 2012’s Hunger Games.
“I auditioned for Twilight [and] they turned me down immediately. I didn’t even get a callback,” Lawrence recalled on the podcast. “But my life would’ve been totally different. I got Hunger Games I think, like, a year later. When you audition when you’re a run-of-the-mill actor… you just get five pages and they’re like, ‘Act monkey.’ When it came out, I was like, ‘Hot damn.’”
What is Jennifer Lawrence’s Latest Project?
Following her emotional performance in 2022’s independent drama Causeway, Lawrence is currently starring in Sony Pictures’ raunchy comedy No Hard Feelings, which is now in theaters worldwide. It is directed by Gene Stupnitsky (Good Boys) from a screenplay he co-wrote with John Phillips, who is also executive producing. Joining Lawrence are Andrew Barth Feldman, Matthew Broderick, Natalie Morales, Laura Benanti, Kyle Mooney, Hasan Minhaj, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Scott MacArthur, and more.
“On the brink of losing her childhood home, Maddie (Lawrence) discovers an intriguing job listing: wealthy helicopter parents looking for someone to ‘date’ their introverted 19-year-old son, Percy, before he leaves for college. To her surprise, Maddie soon discovers the awkward Percy is no sure thing,” reads the synopsis.
