She’s played everyone from “Hunger Games” protagonist Katniss Everdeen, to a jealous wife in “American Hustle,” to a ballerina-turned-Russian spy in her latest film, but Jennifer Lawrence says her next role could be portraying a real-life potential 2020 contender.
When asked which political character she’d want to play, Lawrence told ITK, “I could play Sen. [Elizabeth] Warren as Pocahontas.”
The quip was an apparent reference to a slur lobbed at the Massachusetts Democrat by President Trump.
The commander in chief has called Warren — who claims partial Native American heritage — “Pocahontas” before, most recently at a November event honoring Navajo Code Talkers.
Warren’s critics have accused her in the past of claiming Native American heritage in order to advance her academic career.
While she’s known for her activism and work with the anti-political corruption group Represent.us, Lawrence veered away from political talk while in Washington on Thursday to promote her upcoming movie, “Red Sparrow.”
“Oh, I’m not going to get into all that,” she replied when asked after her Warren remark who she might root for in the 2020 White House race.
The 27-year-old actress has been an outspoken critic of Trump, saying last year that any face-to-face encounter she would have with the president would likely end “with a martini to the face.”
The Academy Award winner opened up a little more about politics during a Q&A session hosted by The New York Times following Thursday’s red carpet at the Newseum.
Moderator Scott Shane questioned whether there were any qualms about releasing “Red Sparrow” during a time when Americans have a “huge obsession with Russia” because of the country’s interference in the 2016 presidential election.
“As soon as we start letting fear muzzle our creative expression, then we’ve lost,” Lawrence said.
“Red Sparrow” opens in theaters on March 2.
Haha, yeah. :D
Agreed, it looks dreadful. Her accent is pretty bad.
Yeah that fake accent reminds me of the Lana character on WWE
The reason she’s not “accusing” Harvey Swinestein is because she was completely willing to sleep with the fat slob for career advancement. She probably even enjoyed watching him “lubricate” the potted plants.
I’m pretty sure Fakahauntus threw in two great grandfathers too many in her recited lineage
That’s funny. :D
Heap Big news? WGAS? What next? Kim Kardashian may announce her run for President if Hillary chooses not to? That’s the kind of crap you would expect when no one wants to dig into the real news, like the Uranium 1 connection.
Jennifer Lawrence reveals she felt so ‘comfortable’ being nude on Red Sparrow set she ‘probably started making everybody else uncomfortable’

She seems to think highly of herself.
Jennifer would play Warren, who plays an American Indian.
Let's do it! Boycott all her movies!
That’s about $2.5 billion to total gross revenues for movies that she appears in... that’s a pretty decent haul by the age of 27, no matter what percentage of it came her way.
She was absolutely brilliant in “Winter’s Bone.” A riveting, electrifying performance. Also fantastic in “Silver Linings Playbook” and “American Hustle.”
Not sure why she wants to torpedo her career by blasting half her audience to smithereens...
Oh, good grief. She's been called "Fauxcahontas" since she said she was an Indian a decade ago. Even Trump messed up by saying "Pocahontas".
However, she seems to be falling into that prideful "everything I touches turns to gold" mindset that often infects artists who have achieved mega-success. George Clooney is a great example. His $2 billion aggregate gross is pretty epic, but take away Gravity and he hasn't done anything noteworthy lately except move back to America after living in the U.K. His director stats are awful - likely due to this "I can do no wrong" mindset likely infecting Ms. Lawrence.
It is what it is - I guess everyone is entitled to have their Turbo moment - and I hope Ms Lawrence can shake free of this idiocy and return to her job as an entertainer.
Huh?? I don’t even get that even if intended as a joke.
