Jennifer Lawrence couldn’t stand the fumes and toxins of Mystique’s costume.
Long before she became a star for her role in The Hunger Games series, Jennifer Lawrence played Mystique in the X-Men prequel X-Men: First Class, a role she reprised in X-Men: Days of Future Past and X-Men: Apocalypse. Her incredible appearance took a whole 7 hours to be completed.
Her concern was basically about the toxic fumes of so much body paint and the long hours of makeup. She specifically said during an interview “I can’t even pronounce this and that’s going in my nose? I’m breathing that?” Luckily the makeup time was already reduced to 7 from the 9 hours Rebecca Romijn had to undergo.
