j-law-elle-230.jpgJennifer Lawrence covers the December 2012 issue of Elle Magazine, and the 22-year-old actress chats about her weight, living beneath her means and her beau Nicholas Hoult.

On her body image, the Oscar nominee tells the mag, “I’m never going to starve myself for a part … I don’t want little girls to be like, ‘Oh, I want to look like Katniss, so I’m going to skip dinner. That’s something I was really conscious of during training, 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.”

When asked about her love life, J. Law says, “[My boyfriend] is honestly my best friend, and hopefully I’m his best friend too. He’s my favorite person to be around and makes me laugh harder than anybody…We can eat Cheetos and watch beach volleyball and we turn into two perverted Homer Simpsons, like, ‘Oh, she’s got a nice *ss.’ I never thought we’d have such different opinions on *sses.”

So will she be moving in to a multi-million dollar mansion anytime soon? Nope! “Ten million dollars and I’m still living in my parents’ condo … I’ve always lived in a tiny rat-infested apartment in New York, or a little condo in L.A., or a normal house in Kentucky. I think it would be very bizarre to live in a big mansion by myself.”

Humble, gorgeous and talented? We can't get enough of her!
