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 did not have [an intimacy coordinator], or maybe we did but we didn’t really,” Lawrence told cohosts Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers. “I felt really safe with Rob. He is not pervy and very in love with [his partner] Suki Waterhouse.” She said that she and Pattinson spent lots of time on set just “talking about our kids and relationships.” She noted, “‘There was never any weird like, ‘Does he think I like him?’” she said. “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 f*** them, and then the punishment starts. He was not like that.” In Die My Love, Lawrence and Pattinson portray Grace and Jackson, a couple who leave New York City and move to rural Montana. They become parents and Grace mentally unravels while navigating motherhood in an isolated environment. Lawrence, whose performance has garnered positive reviews, was pregnant 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 think being pregnant took a lot of vanity anxiety away. Before [filming her 2023 comedy] 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.” Lawrence recalled the filmmakers “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 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 New York Times. “Having kids is sacrificial. It’s gratifying and it’s amazing and rewarding, but it’s not not sacrificial,” the actress said in the Times’ “The Interview” podcast. “I’d never had to say no to something before that I really wanted to do.” She confessed that it felt “vain and selfish” to focus on her career with a family at home. “My kids and my family are more important, obviously, but they feel like an equal part of me,” she said. “I would 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 another baby earlier this year. The pair have not publicly shared details about their second child, but Lawrence did reveal to the Times that she struggled with “anxiety” following the birth. “I felt like a tiger was chasing me every day,” she said, adding, “I had nonstop intrusive thoughts that I was at the whim of. They controlled me.” As a result, she turned to therapy and medication. “I was already in therapy, but I got on a drug called Zurzuvae and I took it for two weeks and it really helped,” she said before joking, “So if anybody’s having postpartum: Zurzuvae. I’m not paid by them, but they could maybe throw me something.”
