Don’t Look Up star Jennifer Lawrence revealed in a new interview for Vogue cover story that she went through two miscarriages before giving birth to her son.

As reported by Variety, Lawrence revealed the miscarriages while discussing her anger over the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. Lawrence was able to have a child because of a medical procedure, and she expressed outrage over the fact that young girls across America now face limited options. “I remember a million times thinking about it while I was pregnant,” Lawrence said.

“Thinking about the things that were happening to my body. I had a great pregnancy. I had a very fortunate pregnancy. But every single second of my life was different. And it would occur to me sometimes: What if I was forced to do this?” As noted by the outlet, much of Lawrence’s disappointment over Roe v. Wade being overturned is “directed at certain relatives back in Louisville, Ky., where she’d grown up, including her father.”

The actor had been trying to repair the family rift after giving birth, and then the Supreme Court ruling was made official and complicated matters. “I just worked so hard in the last five years to forgive my dad and my family and try to understand: It’s different. The information they are getting is different. Their life is different.” Lawrence said. “I’ve tried to get over it and I really can’t. I can’t. I’m sorry I’m just unleashing, but I can’t fuck with people who aren’t political anymore.”

“You live in the United States of America,” she said. “You have to be political. It’s too dire. Politics are killing people. I don’t want to disparage my family, but I know that a lot of people are in a similar position with their families. How could you raise a daughter from birth and believe that she doesn’t deserve equality? How?” The Oscar-winning actress even touched the topic of Hollywood pay gap revealing that she has often been paid lower than her male co-stars.

For an instance, as noted by the outlet, the actress made far less than her male co-stars on American Hustle – a role which earned her an Oscar nomination. Moreover, she earned $5 million less than the lead co-star Leonardo DiCaprio on Don’t Look Up despite sharing top billing with him. “It doesn’t matter how much I do,” Lawrence said. “I’m still not going to get paid as much as that guy, because of my vagina?”

On the work front, Lawrence is next set to appear in Causeway, a psychological drama which will premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 10 and be released to Apple TV+ subscribers on November 4. She also has No Hard Feelings followed by a biopic about Hollywood agent Sue Mengers.

The industry was dejected with the response to Laal Singh Chaddha last month. However, since the advance booking of Brahmastra has started, the industry has got hopeful. And now, the trailer of Vikram Vedha, which will be out tomorrow on September 8, will give the industry the chance to celebrate once again as the trailer of the Hrithik Roshan-Saif Ali Khan starrer looks fantastic.

The teaser of Vikram Vedha had already made it clear what the film is all about. The trailer further gives a glimpse of what one can expect from this film. As expected, Hrithik Roshan shines in the trailer. Several shots of him stand out – from asking the goons to attack after two minutes as he’s busy listening to the radio, to Hrithik jumping from a couple of floors with a sword in hand to finish off an opponent and of course, the last shot, wherein he wears the shades and coolly walks off. The dialoguebaazi also forms an important part of the trailer and it adds to the fun.

Thankfully, the trailer is presented in such a way that even Saif Ali Khan gets a chance to show his worth. Hrithik needed a strong opponent in such a film and Saif fits the bill perfectly. The other actor that gets screen space is Radhika Apte. Her dialogue on the encounter killings gives an idea about the morality angle that the film speaks about. In fact, the way this dialogue has been cut is seen to be believed. Hence, the trailer emerges as a stylishly edited and presented one, and will further up the hype for Vikram Vedha.

The box office was suffering as films were not even opening well. Brahmastra, thankfully, will reverse it as it’s all set for Rs. 25 crores plus day 1, going by the reports. Vikram Vedha, too, looks like a huge opener. The content has to click with both films and if that happens, the month of September will prove to be the most cheerful one in the industry in a long time!
