Summary
- Jennifer Lawrence wanted the 'Easy A' role that made Emma Stone famous.
- Both actresses have a long-standing friendship and professional rivalry.
- Stone has two Oscars, while Lawrence has one; Stone recently earned a SAG nod Lawrence missed.
Jennifer Lawrence recently disclosed that she deeply desired the role in "Easy A" that propelled Emma Stone to international fame. The 2010 comedy became Stone's signature film after supporting roles in "Superbad" and "Zombieland." Lawrence, who starred in "Winter's Bone" the same year and later "The Hunger Games," shared this during a recent event in New York.
Despite their enduring friendship, the actresses have also been professional rivals. Lawrence expressed her strong desire for the "Easy A" role, humorously remarking she "really should have gotten it." The film, a satirical take on "The Scarlet Letter," was a critical and commercial success, cementing Stone's leading lady status.
Their competitive spirit resurfaced recently with Screen Actors Guild Award nominations. While Stone received a nod for "Bugonia," Lawrence missed out for her role in "Die My Love." Lawrence playfully acknowledged Stone's repeated professional victories over her, stating it has been "an honor" to be surpassed by her friend for decades.
