Jennifer Lawrence is fully entrenched in her DGAF era, and it is truly stunning to watch.
The 35-year-old Oscar winner is talking openly now about nudity, cellulite, and postpartum anxiety with the vigor of a woman who genuinely cares little else. News flash: she does.
In a special screening of “Die My Love,” recorded by Vulture, Lawrence made it clear to everyone exactly where she stands on going bare.
“I don’t care about nudity. I’m not sensitive about it,” she revealed.
“I wanted Lynne to have total freedom artistically.”
And with directorial duties taken up by the artistic and eclectic Lynne Ramsay, artistic license equals zero vanity and maximum emotional damage.
@vulture At a special screening of DIE MY LOVE, star Jennifer Lawrence talked about what it was like filming the nude scenes in the film while being pregnant: “It felt really freeing … I remember them sending over a close up of like, cellulite being like, ‘Do you want us to touch this up?’ And I was like, ‘No. That’s an ass.'” #diemylove #robertpattinson #jenniferlawrence

“New Body, New Attitude” during Pregnancy
Before No Hard Feelings, Lawrence admits that “Before No Hard Feelings, I went full-on Hollywood panic mode,” with regard to her weight: “Dieting, no carbs
“But pregnancy with baby number two is just not the same”
Yeah, that completely rewired her.
“It’s like, I think pregnancy just sort of took away a lot of my vanity anxieties,” she said.
“Looking skinny” became utterly trivial to me when working 15-hour days with a growing human.
“What was I supposed to do? Like, not eat at all? I was tired.”
Honestly, iconic.
Cellulite? A Response to “Photoshop
This is possibly the most Jennifer Lawrence-esque thing ever—the crew sent her a close-up shot of her cellulite and asked if she’d like it retouched.
Her Response:
“No. That’s an ass.”
Period. The End.
Let somebody embroider it on a pillow.
“It feels liberating to be able to embrace the real humanity of my character, Grace, who is a new mom descending into postpartum psychosis. Pretty faces don’t buy that ticket. Raw faces do.”
Art Imitates Life, Unfortunately
“My son Cy is 3. I have a new baby with my husband, Cooke Marony. Yes, it’s been a trip. Motherhood is not what you think it is.”
In another interview given to The New Yorker, Lawrence described her postpartum anxiety experience.
“Every time he was sleeping, I just thought he was dead.”
It’s
Inspired.
Nightmare fuel.
“I thought he cried because he didn’t like his life, or me, or his family. That I would ruin my children.”
It’s heavy material, and it is exactly what makes Die My Love so visceral.
Her experience brought her a terrifyingly real entry point into her character’s disintegration.
Talking to PEOPLE at the premiere in New York, she confessed that her postpartum anxieties had worsened with her second child and that, strangely enough, her experience had allowed her to deliver her strongest performance to date.
Baby Pic Power Hour With Robert Pattinson
Although the film itself is rather dark, a curious safety valve for Lawrence on the set is another hot actor and new dad, Robert Pattinson.
He is engaged to model Suki Waterhouse. The couple had a baby girl. This immediately tied him to Lawrence. “[We bonded because of our children because] like every new parent out there, the one thing you wanna do is just, like, look at pictures and show people pictures and videos of your kids.” Picture two A-list movie stars in the corner whisper-screaming. “LOOK HOW LITTLE SHE IS” between scenes of psychological breakdowns. “And his baby was like brand new, and mine too,” she continued.
Adorable chaos.
