X-Men: Apocalypse: Jennifer Lawrence nearly falls over (again) at London premiere

Jennifer Lawrence might be effortlessly elegant, but over the years, she has developed a reputation for being something of a klutz. 

Proving that her reputation precedes her, the 25-year-old American actress nearly fell over as she made her way down the red carpet at the London fan screening of X Men: Apocalypse on Monday evening.

The Oscar-award winning actress, who has frequently been outspoken about Hollywood’s gender pay gap, nearly lost her balance but fortunately managed to recover her composure and avoid a full-on fall.

But this is not the first time Lawrence has taken a plunge. For those that missed it, she grabbed headlines last November when she took a dramatic tumble after one of her heels got caught in her dress, at the Hunger Games premiere.

Likewise, she took a trip up the stairs at the 2013 Academy awards to collect her Oscar for Best Actress for Silver Linings Playbook. The following year, she slipped yet again, dropping to her knees.

Displaying her human side, Lawrence’s numerous falls have endeared her to many. What's more, she has also been vocal about her clumsiness.

“I fell in every single city on the press tour. I fell around the world,” she joked on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon back in November. “Yesterday on the plane I spilt yoghurt all over the plane and the whole plane smelt like sour milk the whole time. You’re welcome”.
