Jennifer Lawrence’s paparazzi photos from 2012 showing her playing basketball with actor Nicholas Hoult have resurfaced and are still generating buzz over a decade later. In 2022, a dedicated fan account on Instagram reposted the shots, reminding fans of the double celebrity moment that sparked dating rumors between the co-stars of X-Men: First Class.
In the photos, Lawrence displayed her fit physique as she dribbled the ball around the court. The 34-year-old actress kept her look sporty in a pair of tight, gray cropped leggings that clung to her curves, showcasing her toned thighs, calves, and peachy backside. She paired the leggings with a white graphic tee.
Going makeup-free and wearing her slightly highlighted hair tied back in a ponytail with bangs framing her face, Lawrence appeared to be enjoying herself as she took aim and squatted down in one shot. The candid photos reminded fans that celebrities don’t always work out in fancy gyms, and many were appreciative of the glimpse into Lawrence’s fitness routine.
Commenters praised Lawrence’s “good form” and “nice form” on the basketball court, with one even saying she looked better in this casual look than she does “when walking down the red carpet.” The photos were originally shared by The Daily Mail.
Lawrence, who is considered curvy by Hollywood standards, has been open about her healthy attitude towards food. “I don’t like when people say, ‘I only do this or eat this,'” she told Vogue. “Because I eat. I’m not very strict with my diet: If I want a piece of pizza, I eat a piece of pizza.”
In another interview with Harper’s Bazaar, she stated, “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. The bare minimum, just for me, would be to up the ante.”
While Lawrence is not active on social media, her fans continue to appreciate her relatable approach to health and fitness, as evidenced by the ongoing popularity of these candid basketball photos.
