I really admire Jennifer Lawrence for how she handled the pressure when she got the role of Katniss in ‘The Hunger Games’.

She’s always been vocal about how unrealistic the beauty standards are in Hollywood, and I appreciate that she continues to push for a healthier approach to fitness and wellbeing within the industry.
