Jennifer Lawrence says she will take break from acting to ‘fix our democracy’
Posted on February 18, 2018 by True Pundit Staff

Jennifer Lawrence is set to take a break from acting.

“Hunger Games” star Lawrence revealed her plans while promoting her latest movie “Red Sparrow,” sharing with Entertainment Tonight her ambitions to “fix” democracy in America while she takes a Hollywood hiatus.

“I’m going to take the next year off,” Lawrence outlined. “I’m going to be working with this organization as a part of (anti-corruption organization) Represent.US… trying to get young people engaged politically on a local level.

“It doesn’t have anything to do with partisan (politics). It’s just anti-corruption and stuff trying to pass state by state laws that can help prevent corruption, fix our democracy.”

Her decision isn’t out of the ordinary for the Oscar winner, who has taken more of a political standpoint in recent years. –

Body of a Ferrari. Brain of a Yugo. 
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Good question. Someone should ask her down the road. It's a new low for actresses when you have to wonder what's between her ears instead of her legs.

She lives in a protected bubble.  She used to be down to earth but that bubble has taken over.

How anyone can complain about corruption now compared to Obama or Clinton is amazing.

Jennifer Lawrence wears leopard print coat and jeans in New York after revealing she dropped out of middle school and 'never felt very smart'
By Tracy Wright For Dailymail.com

She's a skilled actress with a host of awards under her belt.

But Jennifer Lawrence admitted she dropped out of middle school and 'never felt very smart' during an interview with 60 Minutes set to air on Sunday evening through the CBS network.  ...

"I dropped out of middle school," Jennifer told Bill Whitaker. "I don't technically have a GED or a diploma. I am self-educated."   ...

@goatprairie

No,she is actually pretty smart. The problem is she has been living in the Hollywood/NYC "bubble" ever since her first starring role when she was around 13,and only associates with airheads.

You and I would be seem to be idiots if we had lived the life she has lived the last 10 years or so.

I hate to use the word "unfortunately" here about a woman in her early 20's that has been THE star of a series of major movies and probably worth 100 million or so by now,but it still fits. If everyone you know is an idiot,you tend to sound like an idiot too because idiocy is what you think is the normal for everyone.

And of course there is also the factor that almost nobody ever tries to tell somebody with upteen millions that they are wrong because that ain't no way to scam money out of them.

You implications are she used her body and sex appeal.

I guess this means YOU think pre-teen girls are sexy?

I'm pretty sure I'm saying that If they offered her the part of Anne Frank she would have to turn it down because she couldn't learn her lines.

@Wingnut

Ok,so you are just "regular wrong" and not "creepy wrong".

She is one of the best actresses working today. The first time I saw here in anything I had no idea who she was,but she flat stole the movie from everyone else. Go on the web and find and watch "Winter's Bone" if you want to see some good acting by a 20  year old.

She got the star role in the "Hunger Games"  franchises a year later,and is making stoopid money now,and it seems like everyone in Hollywood is eaten up with jealousy because she is now the highest paid actress in the world. Guess  what? If her acting didn't pull in ticket sales and making money for the producers,she wouldn't be getting that money.

She admits she's a middle school dropout. That means she never made it past 7th grade. Yikes.

Jennifer Lawrence: I don't regret dropping out of middle school
MSN, Feb 23, 2018, Entertainment Weekly

Jennifer Lawrence is a lot of things — Oscar winner, advocate, and Emma Stone’s biggest fan, among others — but one thing she’s not? A high school graduate.

***

It’s hard to explain. It’s just an overwhelming feeling of, ‘I get this. This is what I was meant to do,'” Lawrence says of acting. “And to get people to try to understand that when you’re 14 years old, wanting to drop out of school and do this, and your parents are just like, ‘You’re out of your mind.'”

But her parents listened to Lawrence’s instincts. “I dropped out of middle school. I don’t technically have a GED or a diploma,” she says with a smile. “I am self-educated.”

Whitaker asks if she regrets the decision. “No,” says Lawrence. “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. Even friends, for many years, were not as important to me as my career, I mean, from the age of 14.”

@mountaineer

She was working as an actress in Hollywood movies. Would YOU have hung around to be a uber rarefied high school diploma when you were already working and earning 50 k a year or so,and have a future?

Granted,she did miss out on some of the "neat to be a kid" things and has a warped sense of reality when it comes to the lives on regular people because of her career,but it beats the hell out of pouring coffee at a donut shop when you're 30 and can't remember which box you stored the HS diploma in/

I quit high school so I could learn something.

How to lose credibility while posting:
1. Trump is never wrong.
2. Default to the most puerile emoticon you can find. This is especially useful when you can't win an argument on merits.
3. Be falsely ingratiating, completely but politely dismissive without talking to the points, and bring up Hillary whenever the conversation is really about conservatism.
4. When all else fails, remember rule #1 and #2. Emoticons are like the poor man's tweet!

@sneakypete

High school drop outs who become millionaires are rare.    Most have too many anti social behaviors and can't get any job let alone an acting job paying millions.

@driftdiver

Yes,but in THIS particular case that we are talking about,Jennifer Lawrence became a major movie star BECAUSE she had enough faith in her dream to quit high school and accept a part in a movie. Now she is probably worth in the neighborhood of 100 million bucks. Somehow,I don't think we are ever going to see her standing in a welfare line.

We get it, she has made a lot of money for one so uneducated.  But I stll think she's in no position to lecture us on issues about which she knows nothing.

@mountaineer

Different issues.  I have no idea why you are defending a high school diploma like it is some sort of accomplishment. All you have to do to obtain one is maintain a pulse and show up at school for 12 years. There are people graduating from high school every year that can't read or write. They don't know squat,and at least half of that they have been taught is wrong. Damn near 100 percent wrong if you are talking about history. Public schools have gone from teaching to indoctrination.

BTW,you still aren't getting it. Although they are related,it's more about being successful in your chosen career field than it is money. It just so  happens that the field she chose pays an insane amount of money to  those who are successful and a pittance to those who aren't. Has nothing to do with education and everything to do with talent.

She showed up at the DAPL Protests where the people who were there to hold up the pipeline to get money for the tribe Save the Water! left behind over 720 semi loads of trash and debris, a half dozen puppies, and a dead human (in the river, of course), among other things...

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
