Jennifer Lawrence was catapulted to superstardom in her role as Katniss Everdeen in 2012’s “The Hunger Games,” based upon the book by Suzanne Collins. She reprised the part in three sequels, and according to Lawrence, playing Katniss was physically taxing on her body, especially when it came to archery. Speaking to NPR in 2015, Lawrence revealed, “[Archery] totally changed my body. It was so crazy, when I went back for the fitting for the second movie for ‘Catching Fire,’ my shoulders were two inches broader and my right arm is one inch longer than my left arm, permanently, I guess.”

In spite of these pretty significant physical changes, Lawrence revealed that she really loved learning archery. “I had an amazing instructor, Khatuna [Lorig],” she told NPR. “She was Georgian. She was an excellent instructor — very, very strict. If I had bad form, she would pinch my ear.” Lawrence certainly shows an impressive level of dedication in all of her roles, and it seems as though she also enjoys learning new skills. Proving that she remains serious about archery, Lawrence joked during an interview with W magazine, “I could kill someone with a bow and arrow if they’d hold still!” We have all been warned.
