Jennifer Lawrence to quit acting after 'Red Sparrow

The award-winning actress, Jennifer Lawrence said she is going to take a yearlong break from acting, so she could focus on activism and help fix democracy. So, how will the "Red Sparrow" actress help the country?

According to Fox News, Jennifer Lawrence revealed her future plans, as she promoted her new film, Red Sparrow. Lawrence unveiled her idea to become more committed to activism. 

"I'm going to take the next year off," Lawrence revealed during her interview with Entertainment Tonight, "I'm going to be working with this organization I'm a part of: Represent.Us. It's just trying to get young people engaged politically on a local level."

However, she revealed that her decision has nothing to do with partisan politics. Lawrence said she is going to focus on the issues like corruption and state laws that can help hinder corruption.

"It is just anti-corruption and stuff trying to pass state-by-state laws that can help prevent corruption, fix our democracy," the Hunger Games actress revealed. " And then I don't know what I am doing next."

Lawrence has been vocal about her interest in activism and has usually verbally attacked the U.S. President, Donald Trump. In 2015, Lawrence stated that it will be the end of the world if Trump won the elections. 

The Mother actress also joined several Hollywood stars in signing a letter to urge enate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-NY., and the House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., to pass a legislation to protect DACA recipients. It seems like Lawrence really knows when to use her voice and when not to. 

On the other side of the story, the Silver Linings Playbook actress will star in "Red Sparrow." She's taking the role of Dominika Egorova, who is a Russian prima ballerina. She's been coerced by her uncle to becoming an intelligence agent. She was trained in a top-secret school in the arts of sexual manipulation and seduction. 

Red Sparrow is based on the R-rated book of Jason Matthews. It revolves around a life that's sexually charged, brutal, punctuated with scenes of assassination, torture and attempted rape. 

Jennifer Lawrence stars in Red Sparrow directed by Francis Lawrence. The film will be released on March 1, 2018.
