Jennifer Lawrence’s “Space‑Saga Fumble” and the Power of Adele’s Advice
A Friendly Drama in the Galaxy
Jennifer Lawrence, famously thoughtful about who she endorses, once told her friend Adele to skip the Hollywood space drama Passengers.
“I was like, ‘You’re all here because I’m here, and I’m here because you’re here. Who actually decided this is a good movie?’” she laughed.
“Regret? Passengers? I guess. I wish I’d listened when Adele said, ‘Space movies are the new vampire movies.’ I should have taken her word!”
Flowers, Names, and Feminist Fire
In 2019, the Oscar‑winning actress married art dealer Cooke Maroney. Their baby, a healthy nine‑month‑old, now named Cy, brings extra star‑shine to her life.
Jennifer confessed to The New York Times that she had a moment of “feminist madness” over changing her legal name.
“It’s my identity, the first thing I’m given. I didn’t feel like I was surrendering anything. That name already belongs to the world once I hit global fame at 21 with The Hunger Games.”
Lessons from the Hollywood Cosmos
“I had such a feminist dip at changing my name because it’s my identity. But the world already took it when I rose high.”
This tale shows the value of listening to trusted friends—like Adele—when making career choices, especially when Hollywood can take unexpected turns.
\And for the record, Jennifer thinks The Hunger Games were fantastic, even though it changed her notoriety sky‑high.
