What would Jennifer Lawrence’s career have been like if she had starred in the ‘Twilight’ series? After all, she was at the casting…
What would Jennifer Lawrence’s (32) career have been like if this decision had been made differently? The Oscar winner spoke in a podcast about her application for the first part of the “Twilight” saga, which was released in cinemas in 2008. In the audio format “The Rewatchables” Lawrence now explained that she didn’t even survive the first round of casting. “They rejected me immediately.” Haven’t even gotten a call back yet. Nevertheless, she also believes that her life would have been completely different if she had gotten this role back then.
In her place, Kristen Stewart (33) would later be committed to the leading role of Bella Swan, who also became a world star alongside Robert Pattinson (37), aka Edward Cullen. After the first part “Biss zum Dawn,” the second part of the film series was released a year later with “New Moon – Biss zum Morgenstunden”. This was followed in 2010 by “Eclipse – Biss zum Abendrot”, 2011 “Breaking Dawn – Biss zum Ende der Nacht, Teil 1” and finally in 2012 “Breaking Dawn – Biss zum Ende der Nacht, Teil 2”.
Despite this setback, Jennifer Lawrence had an unparalleled career
Jennifer Lawrence’s career picked up speed a little later. Her performance in the independent film “Winter’s Bone” in 2010 became her final breakthrough – including an Oscar nomination. At the latest after her role in the “X-Men” films and the huge success of the “Hunger Games” series, she was one of the very first ranks of the absolute top Hollywood actresses. She won her first Oscar in 2013 for her performance in the drama Silver Linings. Most recently, she was nominated for a golden boy in 2016 as Best Actress for her role in the tragic comedy “Joy – Everything But Ordinary”.
