Jennifer Lawrence came in at #10 on this years list of Maxim’s top 100 hottest and sexiest women.
Maxim said… For her Oscar-nominated role in last year’s Winter’s Bone, this perfectly made 20-year-old learned to skin and gut a squirrel. But the self- described tomboy didn’t mind, claiming she went through an outdoorsy “wood-chopping phase” as a child in her native Hollywood. The heart of a guy’s girl in the body of a girly girl? Yup, that’s more than enough reason to justify her straight-out-of-nowhere jump to the top 10 and her imminent Hollywood takeover.
Heat factor: In X-Men: First Class she’s the one who’s blue. And topless. (But, curses, covered with scales!)
