"The Hunger Games" actress Jennifer Lawrence says, "In Hollywood, I'm obese," she added, "I'm considered a fat actress."

The 22-year-old dished about Hollywood's demands  about body image during an interview with Elle magazine. The actress refuses to be thrown in a category with a slew of other actresses with eating disorder rumors, "I eat like a caveman. I'll be the only actress who doesn't have anorexia rumors," she said.

Many actresses such as Beyonce, Mila Kunis, and Natalie Portman have lost tremendous amount of weight to play roles. The young actress realizes her role to young girls and don't want them hurting themselves to look like her, "I'm never going to starve myself for a part," she told the magazine. "I don't want little girls to be like, 'Oh, I want to look like Katniss, so I'm going to skip dinner."

During her training for "Hunger Games," the actress believed it didn't make sense for her character to lose weight, "That's something I was really conscious of during training [for the movie], when you're trying to get your body to look exactly right. I was trying to get my body to look fit and strong - not thin and underfed."
