Fans have long found Jennifer Lawrence to be almost painfully relatable. From her 'oops' moments on the red carpet to the fact that she refused to diet for a role, J-Law might be a global celebrity, but she also seems pretty down-to-earth.
At least, that's the personality she conveys now that she's in the public eye. Might people who knew her before she became famous have a different perspective? Fans didn't have to go too far to find out; one Redditor who went to school with Lawrence spilled the beans.
What Was Jennifer Like Pre-Fame?
One Redditor shared that they went to school with Jennifer Lawrence ages ago, and they had pics to prove it. The photograph features a curly-haired Jennifer Lawrence posing with a bunch of other middle schoolers.
Fans' first comment? The fact that Lawrence is still very easily recognizable; her looks have hardly changed at all.
The person who went to school with her also seemed to think that beyond her looks, something else hadn't changed much, either: her personality.
Jennifer Lawrence Has Always Been A Goof
Jennifer's former classmate pointed out that "She hasn't changed much since," but commenters couldn't discern whether that's a good or bad thing. After all, most middle schoolers aren't really fully-formed people yet.
So does that mean Jennifer's personality and goofiness were the same back in school as they are now, and is that good, or bad?
Commenters weren't quite sure, but they also noticed something that got them thinking Jennifer hasn't changed that much, but are they kind of reaching?
Some Say Jennifer Lawrence Probably Wasn't Very Nice
The thing is, Jennifer's reputation these days isn't that amazing. Some people have accused her of faking for attention (like that Oscars fall?), and some people say she's just not as nice as fans tend to think.
Which could mean that the commenter who pointed to Jennifer's curled hairstyle as a sign that she was full of herself in middle school had a point.
If people really think that Jennifer isn't a nice person now, it's possible that's always been her personality. It's all speculation, of course, except for people who actually know Lawrence in person today. After all, middle schoolers definitely mature eventually, and here's hoping J Law didn't stay the same as she was then.
Unfortunately, fans today are starting to think that Jennifer just isn't that popular anymore. Time will only tell what will become of Jennifer and her career, though, and her former classmates will probably be keeping tabs, too.
