Canadian fashion magazine Flare has come under fire for altering Jennifer Lawrence’s body shape with the Hunger Games star appearing noticeably thinner on a cover image from 2011.
A before and after image has surfaced showing the star had been slimmed down and smoothed over between the time the photograph was taken and the magazine hit stands.
The Oscar-winning actress spoke openly about her body image in an interview published in the same issue, and said she wanted to look like “a real person”.
