Jennifer Lawrence Says She's Considered 'A Fat Actress' in Hollywood

Jennifer Lawrence says even though she's considered a "fat actress", she would never go on a diet for any role, now or in the future.

Jennifer Lawrence, who has been making the news and touted to be Hollywood's new "It" girl, is quite comfortable with her looks and weight. The actress reveals that even though she is considered a "fat actress" she has no plans of dieting for any of her roles, now or in the future.

"In Hollywood, I'm obese," Lawrence, now 22, told Elle magazine in its December issue where she graces the cover in a skin-tight white dress under the headline, "From Indie Star to Hunger Games Bombshell."

"I'm considered a fat actress," she says. "I'm Val Kilmer in that one picture on the beach."

"I'm never going to starve myself for a part," she says. "I don't want little girls to be like, 'Oh, I want to look like Katniss, so I'm going to skip dinner'...I was trying to get my body to look fit and strong-not thin and underfed."

"I eat like a caveman," Lawrence says. "I'll be the only actress who doesn't have anorexia rumors."

The Oscar-nominated actress also reveals that her boyfriend Nicholas Hoult, a fellow actor she met on the set of "X-Men," is also a foodie and is happy that she never has to watch her diet around him.

"We can eat Cheetos and watch beach volleyball and we turn into two perverted Homer Simpsons, like, 'Oh, she's got a nice ass,'" she says. "I never thought we'd have such different opinions on asses."

"[He] is honestly my best friend too," Lawrence tells Elle, turning more serious. "He's my favorite person to be around and makes me laugh harder than anybody."
