Jennifer Lawrence Gets Real About Robert Pattinson And Hollywood's Entitlement Problem
As Die My Love nears global release, Jennifer Lawrence says Robert Pattinson’s respectful presence made an intimacy coordinator unnecessary — a rare call in today’s Hollywood.
Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson are pairing up in Die My Love, and ahead of the film's global rollout Lawrence talked about what it was actually like working with him — the awkward icebreaker, the intimate scenes, the surprising quiet, all of it.
On intimate scenes: why she felt safe without leaning on a coordinator
Intimacy coordinators are pretty standard now, but Lawrence says they didn't really use one on this set because she never felt she needed it with Pattinson. In her words, his whole vibe on set kept things comfortable and un-weird. She also made it clear she knew where his head was at — very publicly in love with Suki Waterhouse — which removed the usual anxiety actors sometimes have about mixed signals.
"We did not have an intimacy coordinator... I felt really safe with Rob. He is not pervy and very in love with Suki Waterhouse... There was never any weird like, Does he think I like him? 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*ck them, and then the punishment starts. He was not like that."
Jennifer Lawrence, speaking to Variety
Off camera, their conversations were mostly about family — not exactly tabloid fodder, but it says a lot about the tone on set. And yes, it is a little depressing that praising someone for not being creepy is notable in 2025, but here we are.
Their mortifying icebreaker: interpretive dance
Before filming, the two met for the first time and chose a team-building exercise that can only be described as deliberately humiliating: interpretive dance. Lawrence says they both embarrass easily, which made the whole 'Hi, I'm Jen. Hi, I'm Rob.' followed by expressive movement thing extra ridiculous. Still, it worked — by the time cameras rolled, they were loose and comfortable. If you've seen the early footage, the chemistry does read right away.
The power of saying nothing
Another thing Lawrence liked about Pattinson: he's good at silence. She appreciated that they could sit in the same room and not talk for long stretches without it being weird. For actors who spend their workdays emoting at full blast, the ability to shut up together is underrated.
A team-up that almost happened years ago
This pairing has been a long time coming. Lawrence has said she came close to joining Twilight back in the day, which obviously would have put her across from Pattinson way earlier. It didn't happen then; it happened now.
Quick status check

Early chatter puts Lawrence back in the awards-season conversation, and the pre-release clips suggest the Lawrence/Pattinson pairing has real spark. Interpretive dance: embarrassing in the room, apparently useful on screen.
