Jennifer Lawrence has played in many blockbusters and critically acclaimed films, but one of her more famous works is without a doubt The Hunger Gamesfranchise. However, the actress went quite far for this and her body has also changed forever as a result.
In the movies, Lawrence plays Katniss Everdeen, who takes part in the deadly Hunger Games games. Fortunately, she’s pretty good with a bow and arrow, something Lawrence had to train hard for.
THE
Her ‘teacher’ was none other than Khatuna Lorig, the Olympian who won the bronze medal in 1992 during the games in Barcelona. In 2019 during the Pan American Games she even won gold and silver.
However, Lorig was a strict teacher and pushed Lawrence to the limit. The actress had to train hard and this has had major consequences.
Body
Thus says Lawrence: “I really enjoyed it immensely. Khatuna was great too. She was a great teacher, but very strict. If I didn’t do it right, I was told right away. Hard work had to be done“.
“It has also had a major impact on my body. When we started shooting the second movie, Catching Fire, we found out that my shoulders were about two inches wider. My right arm was also 2.5 cm longer than my left at one time“.
“This was of course a result of the training and this is permanent. But don’t get me wrong, I really enjoyed it!“.
