According to MTL Blog, she visited the hospital while on location in Montreal filming the new X-Men movie. The children were thrilled to meet a real-life X-Men character (Lawrence stars as Mystique) as she posed for pictures and signed casts.
But this is not the first time the The Hunger Games actress has given back to the community. Lawrence previously swore for 30 seconds straight on Conan, raising a total of $10,000 for a charity of her choice — if it helps someone in need then it can’t be all that bad! She also recently supported the Special Olympics, where according to Sharity, every donation to the cause receives a chance to win a VIP Serena movie pass, and a chance to meet the stars in person.
However, Lawrence is not the only celeb who is doing good in this world. Here’s what four of your other favourite stars have been up to.
