Jennifer Lawrence Reunites With Bradley Cooper, Shows Off Messed Up Tattoo [Video]

Jennifer Lawrence may have another shot at an Oscar with her role in David O. Russell’s dramedy, Joy, which involves a reunited all-star cast including Lawrence, Bradley Cooper, and Robert De Niro. The trio first made magic on the big screen in Russell’s Academy Award-nominated film, Silver Linings Playbook.

Lawrence’s involvement in Joy marks the third role she has taken in one of Russell’s films. People Magazine shares the director’s words in regards to his selected all-star cast for his latest project.

“I have a shorthand with these actors. We share an enormous amount of trust and affection, and it allows us to take risks and we have taken bigger risks in this one.”

Lawrence acts as the female lead in the film, a role which in itself holds a great amount of historical relevance. Joy is “inspired by the lives of several business pioneers, including multi-millionaire inventor Joy Mangano” as People relays. The film focuses on Joy’s family over the duration of four generations and on Lawrence’s character (Joy), who became the matriarch at the age of 27 to develop a lasting dynasty.

Russell, who was an integral part in Lawrence receiving her first Oscar after the actress starred in his film, Silver Linings Playbook, shared his views on the matriarch upon which Joy is based.

“It’s all from her perspective. It’s very interesting to see [Lawrence’s character] become that godmother or boss.”

Lawrence is sure to dazzle with another remarkable performance while playing a woman of devotion and steadfast determination. The 24-year-old, who always ensures she’s entertaining, whether on the big screen or simply while appearing as her witty and intelligent self, recently gave fans and onlookers one more reason to laugh and adore her.

JLaw fessed up recently to having inked herself with a tattoo that was intended to appear as the formula for water, H2O. Lawrence admits that the symbol she had applied to her hand is actually inaccurate. The Daily Mail shared Lawrence’s explanation to reporters at Comic-Con on Thursday about her rather “watered down” tattoo.

“I know that the two is high and in H2O the two is supposed to be low. I should have Googled it before I got it tattooed on my body forever. I call this tattoo a watered down rebellion because it’s not like a real tattoo. It’s the colour of a scar, all natural so it’s literally the most unrebellious tattoo that anybody could ever get.”
