Jennifer Lawrence: No Intimacy Coordinator Needed with Robert Pattinson on ‘Die My Love’ Set
Actress Jennifer Lawrence recently shared insights about her experience on the set of the film Die My Love, in which she stars alongside Robert Pattinson. Directed by Lynne Ramsay, the film explores themes of postpartum depression and psychosis, following the character Grace, portrayed by Lawrence, and her partner Jackson, played by Pattinson.
Collaboration on Set
During her appearance on the Las Culturistas podcast, Lawrence discussed the dynamics between her and Pattinson. The pair participated in dance lessons that served as team-building exercises, which helped in choreographing both intimate and action sequences.
Intimacy Coordinator Discussion
A notable topic of conversation was the absence of an intimacy coordinator, a role intended to facilitate communication during intimate scenes. Lawrence mentioned that she felt safe working with Pattinson, emphasizing his respectfulness. “He’s not pervy and he’s very in love with [partner] Suki Waterhouse,” she stated. She felt that their discussions about family made the atmosphere comfortable, and she didn’t perceive any awkwardness.
- Lawrence noted, “A lot of male actors get offended if you don’t want to f* them…”
- She explained that an intimacy coordinator would have been necessary if there had been any discomfort.
Nudity and Comfort on Set
When discussing her nudity in the film, Lawrence expressed her indifference toward showing her body. Filming occurred while she was pregnant with her second child, which she believes diminished her concerns about vanity. “I don’t care about nudity. I’m not sensitive about it,” she shared. “Before No Hard Feelings, I was dieting and not eating carbs and working out. I was pregnant [in Die My Love]. What was I gonna do? Not eat?”
Release Information
Die My Love is set to premiere in theaters on November 7. The film also features a talented ensemble cast, including:
- LaKeith Stanfield

As anticipation builds for the film, Lawrence’s candid reflections highlight the evolving landscape of intimacy in filmmaking, especially in the wake of the #MeToo movement.
