Jennifer Lawerence appeared Robert Pattinson. The Lynne Ramsay-directed psychodrama stars Lawrence as woman who descends into psychosis after the birth of her child. Pattinson plays the character’s increasingly useless husband.
“We did not have [an intimacy coordinator], or maybe we did but we didn’t really… I felt really safe with Rob,” Lawrence told the podcast hosts. “He is not pervy and very in love with [partner] Suki Waterhouse. We mostly were just talking about our kids and relationships. There was never any weird like, ‘Does he think I like him?’ If there was a little bit of that I would probably have an intimacy coordinator. A lot of male actors get offended if you don’t want to fuck them, and then the punishment starts. He was not like that.”

Lawrence, who has received universal acclaim and Oscar buzz for her performance in “Die My Live,” also appears nude in the movie, which she filmed while pregnant with her second child. During a recent screening of the movie (via Vulture), the Oscar winner said she allowed herself to be naked on camera without giving any thought to how she might look. This was a change of pace from when Lawrence went full frontal in the R-rated comedy “No Hard Feelings” and exercised hard before filming.
“I don’t care about nudity. I’m not sensitive about it,” Lawrence said. “I wanted Lynne to have total freedom artistically… I think being pregnant took a lot of, like, vanity anxiety away. Before ‘No Hard Feelings,’ I was dieting and not eating carbs and working out. I was pregnant [for ‘Die My Love’]. Like, what was I gonna do? Not eat? I was working 15 hours a day. I was just tired… I remember, like, them sending over a close-up of cellulite and being like, ‘Do you want us to touch this up?’ And I was like, ‘No. That’s an ass.'”
“Die My Love” opens in theaters Nov. 7 from Mubi. Listen to Lawrence’s full interview on the “Las Culturistas” podcast here.
