Jennifer Lawrence has spoken honestly about Hollywood's unhealthy perception of what's 'normal' when it comes to body image - and reveals she sometimes ends up feeling like the "fattest one".
The 25-year-old star added that her body is often described as "curvy", but only because we're so used to seeing "underweight" models and actresses.
Speaking to Harper's Bazaar US, the Hunger Games actress explained: "I would like us to make a new normal-body type. Everybody says, 'We love that there is somebody with a normal body!'
"And I'm like, 'I don't feel like I have a normal body.'
"I do Pilates every day. I eat, but I work out a lot more than a normal person. I think we've gotten so used to underweight that when you are a normal weight it's like, 'Oh, my God, she's curvy.' Which is crazy."
She continued: "The bare minimum, just for me, would be to up the ante. At least so I don't feel like the fattest one."

The actress - who can next be seen in X-Men: Apocalypse - also reflected on her essay on gender inequality in Hollywood for Lena Dunham's Lenny Letter, saying: "I had no idea it was going to blow up like that.
"And I obviously only absorbed the negative. I didn't pay attention to the positive feedback."
On the topic of feminism, she added: "I don't know why that word is so scary to people; it shouldn't be, because it just means equality.
"If we are moving forward in a society, you are feeling stronger as a woman, and you want to be taken more seriously."
