(#11) Her Mystique Make-Up Stained Her Bathtub

For her role as Mystique in X-Men: First Class, Lawrence had to sit or stand on a bicycle for eight hours while the blue paint was applied to her body. The body paint irritated her skin and stained the bathtub of her apartment, which caused a problem when she tried to get her security deposit back.
The make-up was such a hassle that Lawrence started wearing a body suit in X-Men: Days of Future Past, leaving only the face paint, which took a mere three hours to apply.
(#17) She Owns A Bow And Arrow And Once Used It For Defense

Lawrence told Vogue magazine that not only does she own her own bow and arrow, but she once used it to defend herself against who she thought were home invaders. According to the Hunger Games actress:

I pulled into my garage and I heard men in my house. And I was like, ‘I’m not letting them take my stuff.’ I had just gotten back from training, so I had the bow and arrows in the back of my car. I went to my car and I put this quiver on me and I had my bow and I loaded it and I’m walking up the stairs. And I look, and my patio doors were open, and there were guys working right there, and I was like, ‘Heyyy, how you doin’?’

Her friends got a kick out of the situation, going so far as to jokingly suggest she stage a home invasion so the news could report about the real-life Katniss Everdeen.
