Jennifer Lawrence takes back her claims that she was first female action hero

• Jennifer Lawrence retracted to the statement she made.
• She said her comments came out wrong .
• The Academy Award winner apologized for her blunder.

Jennifer Lawrence has retracted a previous statement in which she claimed to be the first female action hero to lead on screen and explained that her remarks may have been interpreted incorrectly.

Jennifer Larence stated in a recent interview that she is “the first-ever woman to be cast as the star of an action movie,” despite the fact that other women, such as Sigourney Weaver and Angelina Jolie, have led action movie series much earlier than she has.

Jennifer clarified in a statement to THR that her remark “came out wrong,” and that what she truly meant was how “wonderful it feels” to be a feminine force in a genre that is dominated by men, according to The Daily Mail. Jennifer’s response was cited in the publication.

The Academy Award winner said, “That’s certainly not what I meant to say at all. I know that I am not the only woman who has ever led an action film.”

She continued, “What I meant to emphasize was how good it feels. And I meant that with Viola [Davis] — to blow past these old myths that you hear about … about the chatter that you would hear around that kind of thing.”

The 32-year-old concluded, “But it was my blunder and it came out wrong. I had nerves talking to a living legend.”

As part of the Actors on Actors series published by Variety, Jennifer made this embarrassing gaffe during a sit-down interview with fellow Oscar winner Viola Davis.

The role of Katniss Everdeen, which the actress is best known for playing, appeared in all four of The Hunger Games (2012) films.
