Updated : October 20, 2023 05:26 PM ISTJennifer Lawrence reflects on ignoring Adele's career advice about not doing the 2016 movie "Passengers." The film, one of her less acclaimed works, caused her to reevaluate her career choices.
As reported by CNN, Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence is known for her candor, but in a recent interview, she made an admission that may surprise even her most devoted fans. While reflecting on her career and choices, Lawrence recalled a piece of advice that superstar singer Adele gave her—an advice she wishes she had taken.
Adele's Warning Ignored: The Movie that Didn't Fly
"Adele told me not to do it! She was like, 'I feel like space movies are the new vampire movies.' I should have listened to her." Lawrence lamented about her 2016 film "Passengers." Co-starring Chris Pratt, the movie stands as a blot in her otherwise glittering filmography. Despite its exciting premise, the film faced a plethora of issues and only received a 30% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes. Talk about a cosmic failure!
Finding Her Path After A Stumble In The Stars
The failure of "Passengers" led Lawrence to an existential crossroads. She found herself questioning the decisions she was making and her connection with her audience. "I was like, 'Oh no, you guys are here because I'm here, and I'm here because you're here. Wait, who decided that this was a good movie?'" the actress wittily remarked.
After appearing in "X-Men: Dark Phoenix" in 2019, Lawrence took a new direction. She starred in the Oscar-nominated dark ensemble comedy "Don't Look Up" and is set to appear in "Causeway," out this week on Apple TV+. It seems the lesson from "Passengers" is well learned, and the talented actress is back on her feet, ready to dazzle her audience once again.
In retrospect, Adele's advice seems prophetic, and Lawrence's honesty about her journey is both refreshing and endearing. Her courage to admit her mistake and take control of her career is a powerful statement and a lesson to us all. Sometimes, it's wise to listen to the advice of friends, especially when they are as astute as Adele.
Whether it's "Passengers" or her forthcoming projects, Jennifer Lawrence's journey in Hollywood continues to be one of growth, self-discovery, and unapologetic authenticity.
