Jennifer Lawrence is fast becoming the welcome antidote to celebrity culture by gleefully discussing "disgusting" secret habits, making jokes that would make the likes of Amy Schumer blush, demonstrating her ability to eat copious amounts of food in one go and sharing her beliefs about what could have actually inspired Donald Trump to stand for President.
Lawrence has participated in a number of interviews to promote the final Hunger Games installment, Mockingjay: Part 2. In a memorable conversation with MTV, she proudly shoved ten marshmellows into her mouth, revealed her most disgusting secret was not washing her hands after going to the toilet, and admitted urinating in sinks.
"I’ve peed in some sinks," she said. "When two girls go into a bathroom, someone’s gotta take a sink! I actually like taking the sink."
The actress is also so concerned by the thought of Trump's presidential bid that she is now turning to the conspiracy theory his Republican nomination was orchestrated to ensure Hillary Clinton is elected as President.
Trump’s campaign has been marked by his controversial, provocative and often disparaging statements targeting ethnic minorities, women, and anyone who opposes him (“moron”, “loser”, “idiot” etc). His offensive culminated on Wednesday with his vow to deport all Syrian refugees back to a country ripped apart by conflict because “they might be Isis” on Wednesday. Despite provoking a near constant stream of outrage, the billionaire continues to emerge as the frontrunner in the race.
Clearly perturbed by the prospect of this man becoming America’s elected leader, Lawrence insisted his campaign could not be genuine.
“If Donald Trump becomes president, that will be the end of the world," she told Entertainment Weekly.
“I genuinely believe that reality television has reached the ultimate place where now even things like this might just be for entertainment."
Her Hunger Games co-star Josh Hutcherson was even more forthright. “It’s a publicity stunt,” he insisted. “It can’t be real.”
Lawrence went on: “It’s either that or it’s Hillary’s brilliant idea...I was watching him on the campaign trail and one guy said, ‘I love Donald Trump because he’s saying everything I’m thinking and I just can’t say it because of the PC factor.’ And I’m thinking, ‘You are absolutely right. That’s who I want representing my country, somebody politically incorrect. That will just be perfect.’
Breaking Bad actor Bryan Cranston was one of those people who believes Trump’s campaign is refreshing, praising his “candour” and his, “you’re an idiot, I’m a winner, you’re a loser” attitude.
“There's something great about his 'I don't give a s**t' attitude that really kind of keeps others honest,” he said in August.
