The latest episode ofHot Onesis here, and this time, the guest is one of the most relevant people working in the industry during the past decade. There are not a lot of people that have seen a career quite like the oneJennifer Lawrencehas built over the course of the last ten years. That said big franchises and films that aimed towardsAcademy Awardsnominations might be nothing next to the mighty power of incredibly spicy chicken wings. The premise of the series is the same as it’s been for years now, with the show’s host,Sean Evans, interviewing the guest while they continue to eat increasingly spicier wings.
Lawrence appeared in the most recent episode ofHot Onesto promoteNo Hard Feelings, the new comedy that will feature her playing a character with one very particular mission. Directed byGene Stupnitsky, the movie will follow Percy (Andrew Barth Feldman), a wealthy kid who has grown up with an almost impressive lack of social skills. His parents come up with the idea of paying someone to date him in order to bring him out of his shell, and that’s exactly what Lawrence’s character must do by the time the credits roll. It won’t prove to be an easy task, as Percy is one of the least approachable romantic leads seen in recent years.
One of the most notable roles from Lawrence’s career was when she starred as Katniss Everdeen in theHunger Gamesfranchise. As a young hero, she inspired the less fortunate Districts to stand against oppression from the elite and President Snow (Donald Sutherland). While Lawrence won’t be a part of the action when the franchise returns withThe Ballad of Songbirds and Snakeslater this year, her legacy as Katniss defined a generation of young people who were eager to jump into the novels thanks to her performance. The role of Katniss won’t be a part of the upcoming film because it happens to be a prequel set decades before she was born.
