Jennifer Lawrence, the beloved 35-year-old actress, recently shared a humorous insight into her personal life by revealing some quirky nicknames her close friends and family use for her. Chatting with Amy Poehler on the Good Hang podcast, Jennifer disclosed a few playful monikers that have stuck with her over the years.
Among these names, "Floffin," "Nitro," and "Boobs" stand out as particularly cheeky. The Oscar-winning star quipped about the nickname "Boobs Lawrence," noting that it was her "full government name" in jest. While she didn't delve into the stories behind all the monikers, she did reveal that "Nitro" was a nod to her hyperactive nature as a child, bestowed upon her by her siblings.
“Boobs Lawrence 😅. The full government name.”
Jennifer also shared another, slightly less flattering nickname her friends have given her, inspired by the character Ken from the Barbie franchise. According to the actress, whenever she asks something silly, her friends say, “She’s just Ken.” Jennifer believes this is their way of playfully calling her out for being a bit dim-witted at times.
Reflecting on her past, Jennifer recently opened up about how she used humor as a defense mechanism during interviews. In a candid conversation with The New Yorker, she admitted she can understand why some people found her off-putting, referencing Ariana Grande's spot-on impression of her on Saturday Night Live as an example. "I get why seeing that person everywhere would be annoying," Jennifer confessed.
Despite her playful nature, Jennifer expressed that she feels some members of the public rejected her for her "personality." Yet, the actress remains unfazed, continuing to embrace her authentic self both in her career and personal life. The lightheartedness she shares through her nicknames and past interviews shows a star who doesn’t take herself too seriously, reminding her fans why they love her candor and humor.
