Jennifer Lawrence Talks Body Issues Amid BFF Amy Schumer's Reaction to 'Plus-Size' Label: I Don't Like Being Called 'Normal'
Jennifer Lawrence wants to change Hollywood beauty standards.
The 25-year-old actress says she doesn't like being labeled as having a "normal" body type in a new interview with Harper's Bazaar's, considering how hard she has to work for it.
"I would like us to make a new normal-body type," Lawrence says. "Everybody says, 'We love that there is somebody with a normal body!' And I'm like, 'I don't feel like I have a normal body.' I do Pilates every day. I eat, but I work out a lot more than a normal person."
"I think we've gotten so used to underweight that when you are a normal weight, it's like, 'Oh, my God, she's curvy.' Which is crazy," Lawrence, who's talked about her relatable eating habits before -- specifically, her love for Cool Ranch Doritos and McDonald's -- continues. "The bare minimum, just for me, would be to up the ante. At least so I don't feel like the fattest one."

Lawrence's thoughts on body image comes on the heels of her close friend Amy Schumer speaking out about being unhappy with Glamour magazine, when the publication included the Trainwreck actress in their plus-size issue. "Bottom line seems to be that these labels are unnecessary and reserved for women #muchlove," the 34-year-old comedian later Instagrammed.
Speaking of Lawrence's famous friends, the Oscar winner spills on hanging out with the likes of Adele, Emma Stone, Aziz Ansari, and her Hunger Games co-star, Woody Harrelson, and admits that she can't always hold her liquor.
"I don't really stay out late. I'm kind of a bummer. I'm a nana," she says. "It's hard to get me out, and when I do go out, I don't really stay out late. If I do stay out late and I'm partying hard, I will throw up. I don't have the tolerance to black out; I just start puking."
"Ask Emma Stone. It was the night we saw Adele in L.A," she adds, referencing their highly publicized A-list outing. "She just started rubbing my back. She was really sweet. I was like, 'Get out of here. It's so gross.'"
Nights with Lawrence can even get a little dangerous.
"Woody [Harrelson] cut his foot. He stayed over in one of my guest bedrooms, but that's where I started puking," she recalls. "I broke a candle because I can't just puke like a normal person -- I flay my arms everywhere. And I didn't clean it up because I'm an a**hole. The next day he cut his foot open."
"I was like, 'F**k, am I going to get sued?'" she continues. "And he's like, 'Are you going to ask if I'm okay?' That night got crazy."

These days, Lawrence is single. The actress was in a long-term relationship with her X-Men co-star Nicholas Hoult before splitting in 2014, and most recently, was linked to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.
"I don't think so because patterns are the work of the devil," she laughs about not having a type. "If I think about all of my ex-boyfriends, they are all so uncomparable."
Still, she has a sense of humor about her lack of love life, revealing that the last thing she's bought herself was a pair of earrings.
"I don't have a boyfriend, so I have to do that sh*t on my own," she says. "Sex? Someone explain to me what it is."
