Jennifer Lawrence Saves A Woman On Her Lawn, Totally Lives Up To Being Katniss

by Kellie Foxx-Gonzalez | 1:59 pm, June 28th, 2012


Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence totally lived up to the badassery of her character Katniss recently when she helped rescue a young woman who collapsed outside of her apartment. Maybe she picked up some survival skills when training for the movie after all.

Jennifer Lawrence was walking her dog outside of her Santa Monica apartment when a teenage girl collapsed on her front lawn. She immediately rushed to her aid, calling 911 and staying right by her side until the paramedics came.

According to a photographer on the scene ”when the EMT arrived, she stayed to make sure everything was okay. She was really scared for the girl.” Bystanders also stopped to assist her, and reportedly no one distracted by Lawrence’s celebrity status; all attention was focused on the young woman in need. The unconscious teen was treated on the scene and taken home by her friend. Unfortunately, there have been no reports of aid in for form of gifts parachuting in to assist Lawrence and the teen.

It’s definitely nice to see Lawrence embody the good-natured, concerned Katniss that Hunger Games fans know and love, even when she’s out of the arena and in her natural habitat. Do you think she knows how to wield a bow too?

    I don’t miss the days when all actors (mostly in he 80s, I think) were self-absorbed douche bags. It’s always nice to hear people in general doing the right thing, and of course, actors doing good things deserve just as much kudos for them.

    Great, now I’m even more obsessed with her.

    calling 911 doesn’t make you a hero. it means you have a conscience and morals.

    If stranger calls 911 for you and it saves your life, I bet you’d call that person a hero.

    I think Cami was expressing the depressing fact that this is no longer what we expect of our fellow humans. 

    To me, this seemed like a standard move. Not ‘living up to a hero mantle’, seriously why would anyone be surprised that someone saw a collapse and didn’t just walk by?  Are we that jaded as a society?

    sigh

    Similarly, the idea that we ‘no one was starstruck’ while a life was in jeopardy makes me sad about the level of celebrity worship that is implied by this statement.

    PS I don’t mean to detract from Jennifer’s act of doing the right thing, obviously good on her, etc.

    I think it’s funny that it says  ”It’s definitely nice to see Lawrence embody the good-natured, concerned Katniss that Hunger Games fans know and love,”. in the books Katniss is not very nice AT ALL most of the time. the movie made her A LOT nicer.
