Jennifer Lawrence is taking to the small screen tonight in Red Sparrow on Channel 4 at 10pm. The 2018 movie put her in a Black Widow-esque role that made a young woman a master assassin in plain sight.

However, just a few years earlier she wrapped up her part of the X-Men series in X-Men: Dark Phoenix.

Lawrence hit the big screen as Mystique / Raven Darkholme for the first time in 2011’s X-Men: First Class.

She reprised her role in the series twice more in X-Men: Days of Future Past and X-Men: Dark Phoenix.

But she openly admitted how hard it was playing the hero.

She was first reluctant to rejoin the series for a third movie but agreed on the condition that director Simon Kinberg was involved. When he signed up, she kept to her word.

Lawrence later admitted that Kinberg’s presence in the movie helped her play Mystique better.

“I suddenly felt more connected to my character than I ever have been before,” she said.

However, it still didn’t stop her biggest complaint about playing Rave: The make-up.

Raven’s real form is perfected on screen by buckets of blue body paint and dozens of prosthetic details.

Eventually, it got too much for her.

Lawrence once commented: “I love these movies — it’s just the paint,” referencing her costume.

The costume, which took over eight hours to get painted on her body, also made it difficult for her to do essential things – such as going to the bathroom.

She told Graham Norton: “The guys who made it were like: ‘Well, she’s a girl. She doesn’t go to the bathroom!'”

She went on: “So, I pee standing up out of a funnel.”

The star later noted how the paint fumes could have been affecting her.
