After playing the character four times between 2011 and 2019, actress Jennifer Lawrence says she\u2019s done playing \u201cX-Men\u201d character Mystique.<\/p>\n

In a new interview with Allure<\/a> magazine, the actress made it fairly clear that not only wouldn\u2019t she return to the role, but she\u2019s done undergoing extreme makeup character transformations.<\/p>\n

Speaking with the outlet, she says her favorite part of playing Mystique was the stunts and that her stunt double, Renee Moneymaker, also worked with her in the Katniss Everdeen role in \u201cThe Hunger Games\u201d franchise.<\/p>\n

Then she was asked if she would consider doing heavy prosthetic work like Mystique again, to which she responded:<\/p>\n

\u201cNever say never, but absolutely f\u2013king not. You know how air brushing is very cold? And I am ticklish. I learned how little sleep I can operate on and what can happen to the human mind when you\u2019ve actually reached your breaking point. And patience!\u201d<\/p>\n

She adds that for \u201cX-Men: First Class,\u201d the make-up job was \u201call body paint and glue,\u201d took eight hours every time, and the multiple dye jobs she did for her screen test permanently damaged her hair. She added \u201cno one will understand what I went through.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"20th Century Studios After playing the character four times between 2011 and 2019, actress Jennifer Lawrence says she\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":947758,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[64,63,142132,134,344],"class_list":["post-947757","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-bigslider","tag-entertainment","tag-movies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/947757","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=947757"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/947757\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/947758"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=947757"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=947757"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=947757"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
