Jennifer Lawrence says she didn’t use an intimacy coordinator for her sex scenes with Die My Love costar Robert Pattinson because he isn’t “pervy.”
The Oscar winner, 35, got candid during her appearance on the Wednesday, November 5, edition of the “Las Culturistas” podcast, explaining that Pattinson, 39, made her feel comfortable while filming the drama, which hits theaters on Friday, November 7.
“We didn’t have [an intimacy coordinator], or perhaps we did but we didn’t really,” Lawrence told cohosts Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers. “I felt really secure with Rob. He shouldn’t be pervy and really in love with [his partner] Suki Waterhouse.”
She said that she and Pattinson spent plenty of time on set just “talking about our children and relationships.”
She noted, “‘There was never any weird like, ‘Does he think I like him?’” she said. “If there was just a little little bit of that I’d probably have an intimacy coordinator. A variety of male actors get offended if you happen to don’t wish to f*** them, after which the punishment starts. He was not like that.”
In Die My Love, Lawrence and Pattinson portray Grace and Jackson, a pair who leave Latest York City and move to rural Montana. They change into parents and Grace mentally unravels while navigating motherhood in an isolated environment.
Lawrence, whose performance has garnered positive reviews, was pregnant along with her second child when she filmed the intensely dramatic role, which required her to be nude at times.
“I don’t care about nudity. I’m not sensitive about it,” she told Vulture during a Q&A earlier this week, musing, “I feel being pregnant took quite a lot of vanity anxiety away. Before [filming her 2023 comedy] No Hard Feelings, I used to be weight-reduction plan and never eating carbs and figuring out. I used to be pregnant [for Die My Love]. Like, what was I gonna do? Not eat? I used to be working 15 hours a day. I used to be just drained.”
Lawrence recalled the filmmakers “sending over a close-up of cellulite and being like, ‘Do you would like us to the touch this up?’ And I used to be like, ‘No. That’s an a**.’”
Earlier this month, the Hunger Games star — known for her blunt honesty — opened up about her own postpartum struggle in an interview with the Latest York Times.
“Having kids is sacrificial. It’s gratifying and it’s amazing and rewarding, but it surely’s not not sacrificial,” the actress said within the Times’ “The Interview” podcast. “I’d never needed to say no to something before that I actually desired to do.”
She confessed that it felt “vain and selfish” to concentrate on her profession with a family at home.
“My kids and my family are more vital, obviously, but they feel like an equal a part of me,” she said. “I’d not be complete if I couldn’t make movies. I just wouldn’t.”
Lawrence married Cooke Maroney, an art dealer, in October 2019. They welcomed son Cy in February 2022 and one other baby earlier this 12 months. The pair haven’t publicly shared details about their second child, but Lawrence did disclose to the Times that she struggled with “anxiety” following the birth.
“I felt like a tiger was chasing me day-after-day,” she said, adding, “I had nonstop intrusive thoughts that I used to be on the whim of. They controlled me.”
In consequence, she turned to therapy and drugs.
“I used to be already in therapy, but I got on a drug called Zurzuvae and I took it for 2 weeks and it really helped,” she said before joking, “So if anybody’s having postpartum: Zurzuvae. I’m not paid by them, but they may perhaps throw me something.”
