Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson have opened up about their experience filming Die My Love, confirming that despite the film’s intense trailer, the atmosphere on set was respectful and collaborative. In a recent appearance on the Las Culturistas podcast, Lawrence shared that she felt “really safe” working with Pattinson, especially during intimate scenes. The Oscar winner noted that their dance rehearsals helped choreograph both sex and fight scenes, building trust between the co-stars.
The film, directed by Lynne Ramsay, is a psychodrama romance that explores a couple’s unraveling marriage. It premieres in U.S. theaters on November 7.
Production, Roles, and On-Set Dynamics
Die My Love stars Jennifer Lawrence as Grace, a woman descending into psychological distress, and Robert Pattinson as her emotionally distant husband. The film was shot while Lawrence was pregnant with her second child, adding a layer of vulnerability to her performance.
Lawrence revealed that while an intimacy coordinator was present, she and Pattinson felt comfortable enough to proceed without constant guidance. Pattinson echoed this in a prior interview, saying, “You think you can’t get more embarrassed and then they’re like, ‘Now do it naked.’”
Podcast Insights and Industry Commentary
Lawrence told podcast hosts Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers, “He’s not pervy and he’s very in love with [partner] Suki Waterhouse. We mostly talked about our kids and relationships.” She emphasized that Pattinson’s respectful demeanor eliminated any discomfort.
Pattinson added that intimacy coordinators help directors communicate more effectively, especially when navigating body angles and actor comfort.
Industry Standards and Actor Safety
The duo’s comments have sparked discussion around the evolving role of intimacy coordinators in Hollywood. While Lawrence felt secure without one, she acknowledged their importance in cases where boundaries are unclear.
SAG-AFTRA defines intimacy coordinators as advocates and choreographers for scenes involving nudity or simulated sex. Their presence has become standard post-#MeToo, ensuring trauma-informed practices across productions.
What’s Next: Release and Awards Season Buzz
Die My Love opens in U.S. theaters on November 7, followed by U.K. and Irish releases on November 14. The film debuted at Cannes earlier this year to critical acclaim, with Lawrence’s performance generating early awards season buzz.
Promotional interviews and behind-the-scenes content are expected to roll out through November, with both stars scheduled for appearances on late-night talk shows and film panels.
