Jennifer Lawrence “Was Born To Play” Disgraced Billionaire Elizabeth Holmes

Jennifer Lawrence is really getting into character for a biopic she will lead. The Oscar Winner lately starred in the sci-fi comedy “Don’t Look Up” alongside big stars like Ariana Grande and Leonardo DiCaprio. Last year was also a memorable one for the actress who announced that she’s pregnant with her first child with her husband Cooke Mulroney.

Now, she’s hard at work learning to nail Elizabeth Holmes’ unique voice and speaking style.

Adam McKay Opens Up About Jennifer Lawrence Preparing For Her Next Leading Role

Jennifer Lawrence is working on perfecting her Elizabeth Holmes voice for one of her biggest upcoming movies.

She stars in Netflix’s epic sci-fi movie “Don’t Look Up” directed by Adam McKay, who opened up in an interview with Insider that the 31-year-old is doing a spectacular job trying to nail Ms. Holmes’ recognizable speaking patterns ahead of filming for the biopic, written and directed by McKay. The film will be based on the book “Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley” by journalist John Carreyrou.

“You know, I haven’t made her do it for me yet. She said she’s been working on it,” McKay told the outlet of Lawrence’s vocal practice. “She’s about to have a baby so I’m not going to bug her right now but she’s born to play that role.”

“With the voice, she said she’s feeling it,” he added. “She’s excited.”

From Billionaire To Zero: Elizabeth Holmes To Lose Her Impressive Net Worth And Freedom

Earlier this month, Holmes, 37, was found guilty of fraud and conspiracy by a federal jury in California.

She faced up to 11 counts of fraud for false claims made to investors and patients of her Silicon Valley blood-testing company Theranos. The jury handed down a partial verdict, finding Holmes guilty of four of the 11 charges: three counts of wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

Holmes first landed in the spotlight in 2014 as the founder and CEO of health-care startup Theranos, which she advertised as possessing a technology that could run hundreds of medical tests using just a few drops of blood.

For years, she was able to get away with her web of lies until she came under the radar of Wall Street Journal journalist Carreyrou. The journalist reported in 2015 that the machine Holmes was selling – named the Edison – did not do the things it was claimed to do. He disclosed that the company was actually using outside technology and other subterfuge to fake positive test results.

Carreyrou was able to gather enough evidence to lead the federal authorities to investigate Holmes, indicting her in 2018 and seizing her wealth.

Her story was the subject of the HBO documentary “The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley”. Hulu’s limited series “The Dropout” will star Amanda Seyfried, 36, in the lead as Elizabeth Holmes. The series will debut on March 3.
