Jennifer Lawrence as Joy Mangano in Joy
Jennifer Lawrence can certainly hold her own when it comes to acting, but her role as Joy was a terrible mistake. This is a sad reality in Hollywood, where they prefer to cast only white stars for roles where other cultures and races would do a better job. There is another issue where they prefer to cast younger women instead of older women, even for roles that ask for aged personalities. Take, for instance, the role they gave the queen in Alexander.

The role of Joy was in her mid-thirties, and her life headed straight into the forties. However, Lawrence was just twenty-five when she won the role, and it wasn’t such a good choice. She could do well with the role, but we strongly believe an older woman would fit better. There is no way Lawrence fits the life of a single mom who has seen the worst part of life.
