Jennifer Lawrence talks getting nude and blue for “X-Men: First Class”
Jennifer Lawrence talked to Parade Magazine about her upcoming role as Mystique in “X-Men: First Class.”
She said she originally was nervous about appearing wearing only body paint in “X-Men: First Class,” but then got used to it.
“I think I psyched myself out about [wearing only body paint for X-Men],” she said. “But then on the actual day, the only thing you’re worried about is sitting on things and not rubbing your scales off. It mostly becomes a maintenance problem and the last thing you think about is, ‘Oh right, I’m virtually naked.’”
She also said she wanted to maintain a feminine Mystique.
“When I got the part [of Mystique] and knew I had to be naked, I didn’t want to look like a pre-pubescent 13-year old boy,” she said. “I wanted to look like a woman so I knew I wanted to maintain my curves. I’m so sick of seeing these skinny little women and thinking I’m supposed to look like that and thinking young girls think they should also look like that. But of course there was working out: I had a trainer and I had a nutritionist. I worked out for two hours a day for seven days a week. I thought when I started doing it, ‘Oh my god, I’m going to be so skinny.’ But I ended up bulking up a little bit. I was basically on the Hugh Jackman-Wolverine diet and doing pull-ups. As soon as I stopped, I think I lost like 5 pounds in 4 days. I think when I see the movie I’m going to look like a freaking marine or something.”
