Showbiz Stars That Were Athletes First

Jennifer Lawrence

According to Forbes, Jennifer Lawrence was the highest-paid actress in two consecutive years, 2015 and 2016. In 2010, Jenniffer got her first big break after winning an Academy Award for playing Ree in Winter’s Bone. Two years later, the star landed the role of a lifetime in The Hunger Games, a franchise that eventually became one of the highest-grossing franchises in history. The Hunger Games demanded that the star remain fit, a trait that Jennifer had cultivated during her high school days playing basketball.
