How many American Sweethearts are there? Julia Roberts, Meg Ryan, Drew Barrymore, even Katie Couric have all been given that media title at some point during their careers. But with Jennifer Lawrence emerging as The Unstoppable One Whom Everyone Adores, is it time to officially deem her America’s Sweetheart?
According to (by her account) former America’s Sweetheart Julia Roberts, the answer is no. J.Law, it seems, is too badass to be so tidily bowed up and loved by all:
“She shoots flaming arrows. Is this a new cupid tactic? . . . I think she’s fabulous, but she doesn’t seem … she seems cooler than … Oh, she’s too cool to be a sweetheart!”
Is Roberts right? Has J. Law officially transcended the limits of American Sweetheartdom?
