She has been busy promoting her new movie Silver Linings Playbook and is currently filming The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.

And now Jennifer Lawrence has taken a much-needed break for the Thanksgiving holiday in Hawaii.

The 22-year-old star showed off her famous curvaceous figure as she hit the beach in Maui on Wednesday.

Jennifer, who plays Katniss Everdeen in the Hunger Games trilogy, slipped into a blue bikini and an Aztec-printed skirt as she enjoyed her getaway alongside her mother Karen and brother.

It seems that the actress is more than happy to take part in some surfing and she was seen riding the waves with her sibling.

The pair were seen scouting out the best spots to surf before getting into the water, clearly taking the activity quite seriously.

And the pair are very close, sharing a long board to ride to the beach together.

After enjoying the surf in the crystal blue Hawaiian waters, the young star was seen tucking her wet brunette locks underneath a trucker cap.

Jennifer went make-up free for her beach day, not one flaw spotted on her glowing bare face.

Meanwhile her handsome brother went shirtless, hitting the surf in a pair of black swimming trunks.

Earlier in the day, Jennifer went for an energetic stroll with her mother.

She had put on some light workout gear consisting of grey tracksuit bottoms, a near-matching singlet top and bright blue and red trainers for the exercise.

Jennifer is currently filming the second installment of The Hunger Games alongside co-star Josh Hutchinson in Atlanta, Georgia.

The young star is close to her mother and family, who all live in Louisville, Kentucky, and is often  spotted spending time with them.

This week she recalled a humorous moment which illustrated how her family are coming to grips with her new found fame.

She feared she would be booted out of the Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts and Sciences, the Hollywood group responsible for deciding who wins the industry’s top honours, after her mum stole her Oscar ballot as a joke.

While she can laugh at it now, she though she would be unceremoniously dumped from the prestigious role on the Academy’s board.

Recounting the story on The Ellen DeGeneres show – which aired on Wednesday – the Kentucky-born actress revealed how much fun her mother, Karen, is having with her new found fame.

‘Oh, she’s very happy, she has more fun than I do,’ she explained to Ellen DeGeneres when asked how her family were enjoying their daughter’s success.

‘Recently, I’ve just gotten into the Academy, which is really exciting for me, that’s exciting for any actor.

‘And I get a call from my mother while I was in England and she goes, ”I did something hilarious”. And I’m thinking ”What?”

‘And she’s like, ”I voted.”  And I was like, ”You voted for what?” ”The Oscars.”

‘And I was like, ”You voted for the Oscars what do you mean?” And she goes ”The ballot came here and I voted!”

‘Because she thought I’d be like ”That’s hilarious.”

‘Fortunately, she did it wrong and mailed it back to herself, so I have got to do it again.

‘I’m going to get kicked out of the Academy.’
