Family

Jennifer Lawrence was born in Indian Hills, Kentucky, United States, where her family lived. Jennifer comes from a family of five. As a kid, she performed in church plays and school musicals.

Father

Jennifer Lawrence’s father is Gary Lawrence. He is a construction company owner. Gary coached a boys’ basketball team that Jennifer played with as a teenager.

She began performing for her father whenever he worked from home, either as a clown or a ballerina.

Mother

Jennifer’s mom is Karen Lawrence, a Summer Camp manager. She raised her daughter to be tough like her older brothers and did not allow her to play with other girls in preschool because she believed Jennifer was too “rough” for them.

Jennifer has stated that she did not enjoy her childhood due to her hyperactivity and social anxiety. She considered herself a misfit among her peers. However, she never felt anxious when she was on stage.

Karen was not keen on Jennifer pursuing an acting career after she was spotted by a talent scout at age fourteen. However, she briefly moved her family to New York to let her read for talent agents arranged by the scout.

Karen convinced Jennifer that the agents were lying when after her first cold read, they said that hers was the best they had heard from someone so young. When she signed with CESD Talent Agency, her parents were convinced to let her audition for roles in Los Angeles. Her mother encouraged her to go into modeling, but she insisted on pursuing acting, which felt more natural to her. She turned down several modeling offers.
