Academy Award winner Jennifer Lawrence is one of countless celebrities who, historically, have not been shy about making their opinion of President Donald Trump known. But it appears the actress has had a change of heart.<\/p>\n
During an interview with The New York Times\u2019 Lulu Garcia-Navarro released earlier this month, Lawrence said she is going to stop talking politics because she finally realized it was doing more harm than good. It is a decision Megyn applauded during her Megyn Kelly Live tour stop in Jacksonville, Florida, Thursday night.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The About Face<\/strong><\/p>\n The Hunger Games star has been making the rounds to promote her latest film, which included a sit down with Garcia-Navarro on the November 1 episode<\/a> of The Interview podcast. The reporter noted that Lawrence was \u201cpolitically outspoken in the past\u201d and \u201chad a lot to say\u2026 during the first Trump administration.\u201d Lawrence also endorsed Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, telling People magazine<\/a> at the time that \u201cabortion is literally on the ballot.\u201d<\/p>\n With that in mind, Garcia-Navarro said she was \u201ccurious\u201d to know how the actress feels \u201cabout talking out now.\u201d Lawrence admitted \u201cI don\u2019t really know if I should\u201d anymore.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI think, like, the first Trump administration was so wild and just how can we let this stand like I felt like I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off,\u201d she explained. \u201cBut as we learned, election after election, celebrities do not make a difference whatsoever on who people vote for.\u201d<\/p>\n That led to this moment of self-awareness: \u201cSo, then what am I doing? I\u2019m just sharing my opinion on something that\u2019s going to just add fuel to a fire that\u2019s ripping the country apart. I mean, we are so divided.\u201d<\/p>\n She went on to acknowledge that her outspokenness could (if it hasn\u2019t already) have a negative impact on her career. \u201cI don\u2019t want to start turning people off to films and to art that could change consciousness or change the world because they don\u2019t like my political opinions,\u201d Lawrence said. \u201cI want to protect my craft so that you can still get lost in what I\u2019m doing, what I\u2019m showing.\u201d<\/p>\n Megyn believes Lawrence\u2019s about-face is a direct result of the changing cultural tides. \u201cGuess who taught her that lesson? All of you,\u201d she told the crowd. \u201cShe realizes now\u2026 they hurt their own careers, they embarrass themselves, and they alienate half the country.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2018That\u2019s All We Ever Asked\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n Instead of explicitly weighing in on politics, Lawrence went on to say that she is going to let her work do the talking. \u201cA lot of movies coming out from my production company [Excellent Cadaver] are expressions of the political landscape,\u201d she noted, referencing recent documentaries on topics like the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan and abortion access in Texas. \u201cThat\u2019s how I feel like I can be helpful.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n That, in Megyn\u2019s view, is exactly as it should be. \u201cThank you. That\u2019s all we ever asked. Then, we can choose whether to go to that movie or not,\u201d she explained. \u201cIt may be some woke thing that we think is terrible, or it may be some great thing. But if we go to see something that is appealing to us as right-wing people or independent people, we don\u2019t want to be constantly thinking about how much [the actors] loathe us.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe are sick of them ruining our movies by coming out and showing their Trump Derangement Syndrome. Why can\u2019t we watch a movie without knowing how much they hate us right? The left never has that problem because even when you have [an actor] declare that they\u2019re conservative\u2026 they are never nasty about it,\u201d she concluded. \u201cSo, [Jennifer Lawrence clearly] got the lesson.\u201d<\/p>\n You can check out the full \u2018Megyn Kelly Live\u2019 show from Jacksonville, Florida on YouTube<\/a>, Apple Podcasts<\/a>, or wherever you like to listen.
