Jennifer Lawrence Covers Vanity Fair

Jennifer Lawrence is on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine. The actress is on the cover of the magazine’s December 2021/January 2022 issue.

In the issue, Lawrence talks her new movie, Don’t Look Up, taking a break from acting, being the first on the call sheet, but still not making as much as her male counterpart, her pregnancy, and so much more. Highlights can be found below.

On taking a break from acting: “I just think everybody had gotten sick of me. I’d gotten sick of me. It had just gotten to a point where I couldn’t do anything right. If I walked a red carpet, it was, ‘Why didn’t she run?’… I think that I was people-pleasing for the majority of my life. Working made me feel like nobody could be mad at me: ‘Okay, I said yes, we’re doing it. Nobody’s mad.’ And then I felt like I reached a point where people were not pleased just by my existence. So that kind of shook me out of thinking that work or your career can bring any kind of peace to your soul.”

On being first on the call sheet, but still making less than her male counterpart in Don’t Look Up, Leonardo DiCaprio: “Look, Leo brings in more box office than I do. I’m extremely fortunate and happy with my deal. But in other situations, what I have seen—and I’m sure other women in the workforce have seen as well—is that it’s extremely uncomfortable to inquire about equal pay. And if you do question something that appears unequal, you’re told it’s not gender disparity but they can’t tell you what exactly it is.”
