Jennifer Lawrence ‘wanted to be graceful’ at Oscars

Jennifer Lawrence tells Harper's Bazaar why she hates the word diet and how she meant to behave at the Oscars.

Jennifer Lawrence is Hollywood’s golden girl at the moment. Not only is she a talented actress but she is totally funny, down to earth and has great style, so it’s no surprise that she’s the cover star of Harper’s Bazaar’s November issue.

We love her just the way she is, but it’s not always as easy as that in Hollywood. The actress was recently asked about the time when she was told she was ‘too fat’ by producers. "[Someone thought] that because of the way my career had gone, it wouldn't still hurt me. That somehow, after I won an Oscar, I'm above it all. 'You really still care about that?' Yeah. I was a little girl. I was hurt," she says. "It doesn't matter what accolades you get. I know it'll never happen to me again. If anybody even tries to whisper the word 'diet,' I'm like, 'You can go f--k yourself.'"

After The Oscars, everyone was buzzing about J-Law. Not only her win, but her funny comments and of course that infamous fall. However, she confesses that someone told her to ‘tone it down’.

“I'm not doing it on purpose,” she tells Harper’s Bazaar. “I’m uncomfortable and when people get uncomfortable they resort to their s***. I make awkward jokes and stutter. That was actually a moment when I really wanted it to be special. That was not the time I wanted to be the down-home girl. I wanted to be graceful.”
