Hunger Games Star Jennifer Lawrence Spills Squirrel Guts, Smashes PETA

[Mike]

Pass the squirrel guts on PETA bread, please. The Hunger Games‘ mega-hottie and Oscar nominee Jennifer Lawrence is apparently as cool in real life as she is playing Katniss, a bowhunting super badass survivor girl in the blockbuster movie.

The 21-year-old beauty gutted a squirrel in the most talked about scene for her role in 2010’s Winter’s Bone, (for which she was nominated). The scene was not faked, she told Rolling Stone magazine: “I should say it wasn’t real, for PETA,†she said. “But screw PETA.â€

Prior to shooting Winter’s Bone, (a charming little movie RS describes as “a gritty, gothic, murder story set in Ozark meth countryâ€), Lawrence spent a month in Missouri with a rural family shooting rifles and chopping wood in preparation for the role.

Actor Woody Harrelson, (a real hippy earth-cookie and lovable nut job himself), describes co-star Lawrence in the interview, as “the real deal, who’s not trying to be anyone she’s not. She’s just this frickin’ amazing gal from Kentucky who hit it big.â€

Later in the article (titled “America’s Kick-Ass Sweetheartâ€), she tells RS writer Josh Eells that when she is done with her next movie she is “thinking about buying a house. And a big dog. And a shotgun.â€

But no matter how many squirrels, fowl or big game she slays in her charmed film reel of a life, she’ll never kill as many animals as PETA.

For the record, if she’s serious about the shotgun, our editors would probably extend a warm and permanent invitation to Ms. Lawrence to join us in the duck blind anytime. You know Maxx Outdoors has those cool new two-man layouts…
