Not to be maligned, Jennifer Lawrence has offered her side of the story on multiple occasions. A 2014 interview with Nylon saw the topic come up, with Lawrence asked if there was any validity to Liam Hemsworth’s claims. She explained, “I wouldn’t say that … I would just kind of eat whatever I wanted; I think the onions that you were referring to was that I just had a sandwich with mustard and raw red onion.”
The topic came up again in 2023 during an appearance on “Hot Ones.” Most people may have focused on her spawning a meme during that chat in of the most talked-about movie press moments of 2023, but she was also asked about Hemsworth’s accusations. “It was not intentional,” she asserted. “It was just like what I was eating and then we’d kiss. He should just get over it.”
All in all, it sounds like Lawrence eats what she wants when she wants — as she should. A 2018 cover story for Vanity Fair saw her discuss the expectations placed upon her, saying, “For ‘Hunger Games,’ they told me to lose weight, and then I discovered Jack in the Box.” For Katniss, Lawrence wanted to “look fit and strong, not thin and underfed.” It certainly worked for the film, as she embodied one of the best cinematic protagonists of the 21st century — even if Hemsworth had to contend with some nasty flavors in the process.
