LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jennifer Lawrence stands between 5 ft 7 ½ in (171 m/ 1.71 cm) to 5 ft 9 in (1.75 m/ 175 cm). Jennifer Lawrence’s height has not been pinpointed since she herself has given conflicting statements regarding it.

The ‘No Hard Feelings’ actress reportedly said in 2010, “I'm 5'7 ½.” But then in 2010, she claimed her height to be “Five-Nine”.

She, however, in 2013 mentioned that “I'm like Five-Eight.”

Whatever Jennifer Lawrence’s height is, she clearly does not like wearing high heels and also towers above the average height of an American woman, which apparently is 5 feet 4 inches (1.63 m/ 163 cm).

A decade ago, she told UK’s Fabulous magazine, “When I'm in high heels I feel like an ogre, I can't walk and my feet are uncomfortable.”

“I’m at that awkward height where I’m already kind of tall, so when I put heels on, everyone is like: ‘Oh, well, where’s the ball?’” Lawrence added.

Did Jennifer Lawrence audition for 'Twilight'?

Lawrence reportedly went for ‘Twilight’ audition but could not get selected. As per Variety, the ‘Red Sparrow’ star said, “I auditioned for ‘Twilight’.”

“They turned me down immediately. I didn’t even get a callback. But my life would’ve been totally different. I got ‘Hunger Games’ I think, like, a year later. It was probably after ‘Winter’s Bone,’” she added.

She explained, “If I say, It was amazing from the start, some people will think, It wasn't amazing for me at first, and feel bad. Fortunately, I have so many girlfriends who were honest. Who were like, It's scary.”

“You might not connect right away. You might not fall in love right away. So I felt so prepared to be forgiving,” Lawrence added.
