Jennifer Lawrence Brings Smiles to a Montreal Children's Hospital

Jennifer Lawrence, the star of two highly anticipated franchises, "X-Men: Apocalypse" and "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2," took time out of filming Apocalypse to brighten up the day for those in Shriners Hospital for Children in Montreal. While the 24-year-old actress didn't visit the hospital in full costume just like what "Ghostbusters"  stars Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones did at the Tufts Medical Center in Boston just recently, Lawrence did bring smiles to the faces of patients and staff of the Shriners Hospital.

Entertainment Weekly reports that the facility's Facebook page announced: "Jennifer Lawrence is in Montreal filming a new movie and she made time to visit some of our #ShrinersCanada kids and staff. Everyone had a great time!"

Shriners also tweeted a photo of the actress with the children, captioned, "You never know who might visit @ShrinersCanada ! Today, Jennifer Lawrence took time to see children at the hospital!"

Lawrence is no stranger to charity work, as she even founded the Lawrence Foundation, a component fund of The Community Foundation of Louisville, Inc., which supports various foundations such as Do Something, Feeding America, Screen Actors Guild Foundation, The Thirst Project, and the World Food Programme.

In July, Lawrence also appeared on Conan to talk about her "potty mouth," in which according to Rolling Stone, the actress took on the profanity challenge. Conan donated $100 for every swear word Lawrence could come up with in 30 seconds, and they came up with a grand total of $10,000 that would benefit a charity of Lawrence's choice.

Lawrence is set to reprise her role as the young Mystique in X-Men Apocalypse, which is slated to be released in May 2016. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 is set to be released this November. Lawrence also reunited with former Silver Linings Playbook costar Bradley Cooper to film the movie "Joy," which will be released this Christmas.

Writer and director David O. Russell told The Playlist in an interview late last year that the movie is "set in the ‘80s and ‘90s, but I’m going to take a different approach musically than I’ve ever taken before. I aspire to make an unexpected movie, both for myself and for Jennifer. It’s about a woman… what’s inside her."

“If you go inside someone, it’s another story. If you go inside her and the people around her, and if you go into a different key of storytelling that feels… It’s a departure,” Russell explained. “It’s taking risks that we haven’t taken before. This is going to be a very intense emotional and existential look at a woman’s heart and soul as she becomes powerful.”
