You'll Never Believe How These Legendary Actors Got Discovered

Jennifer Lawrence

Believe it or not, Jennifer Lawrence is only 25 years old despite being one of the hottest actors of the 2010s. She received an Oscar as Tiffany in Silver Linings Playbook and then became Katniss Everdeen in one of the most successful movie franchises in Hollywood history: The Hunger Games.

A Complete and Total Accident

Strangely, Lawrence was on vacation in New York City from Kentucky when she was spotted by a talent agent on the street. This agent conferred with Lawrence's parents and turned her into a successful teen model overnight. She made her television debut in the series Monk in 2006. From there, she starred in The Hunger Games, X-Men, and many more films.
