Jennifer Lawrence as Joy Mangano
Everyone knows Hollywood has a problem when it comes to casting women over the age of 30. The 2015 film Joy cast Jennifer Lawrence as a 34-year-old mother, inventor, and television host. However, Joy Mangano is supposed to be in her 30s, and at some point, even her 40s. Jennifer even admitted she was too young for the role. Matt Singer of ScreenCrush wrote that Lawrence was “totally miscast as a divorced mother of two who’s been repeatedly beaten down by life’s disappointments.”
