Jennifer Lawrence decided to backtrack from her claim that she was the first female action hero and explained that her words came out wrong.
In a recent claim, Jennifer Larence said that she is "the first-ever woman to be cast as the lead of an action movie" despite the likes of Sigourney Weaver and Angelina Jolie leading franchises long before her.
In a statement to THR, Jennifer clarified that her remark "came out wrong" and what she actually meant was how "good it feels" to be a feminine force in a male-dominated genre, cited from The Daily Mail.
The Academy Award winner said, "That's certainly not what I meant to say at all. I know that I am not the only woman who has ever led an action film."
She continued, "What I meant to emphasize was how good it feels. And I meant that with Viola [Davis] — to blow past these old myths that you hear about … about the chatter that you would hear around that kind of thing."
The 32-year-old concluded, "But it was my blunder and it came out wrong. I had nerves talking to a living legend."
Jennifer's blunder occurred in a sit-down with fellow Oscar winner Viola Davis as part of Variety's Actors on Actors series.
The actress is known for famously playingKatniss Everdeen in four ofThe Hunger Games (2012) films.
