Jennifer Lawrence: Male Actors Have a 'Longer Shelf Life'

Jennifer Lawrence leaves her hotel ahead of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 premiere that night on Wednesday (November 18) in New York City.

The 25-year-old actress appears on the latest THR cover and opens up about the response to her gender pay inequality essay.

“There’s always a backlash in everything that you do, but it’s not going to stop or change anything,” Jen told the magazine. “And it’s not only an issue in Hollywood. When you’re asking about roles for men and women, men certainly have a longer shelf life. Men can play the sexy lead for 20 years longer than we can.”
