Jennifer Lawrence Pressed Robert Pattinson About Kristen Stewart — Then Donald Trump Got Involved
On The Graham Norton Show, Jennifer Lawrence revealed a hilarious backstage moment with Die My Love co-star Robert Pattinson — and yes, she couldn’t resist grilling him about the Hollywood drama we’re all dying to know.
Jennifer Lawrence did what any curious person would do when they end up co-starring with Robert Pattinson: she asked him about that whole Kristen Stewart breakup and the weird Trump Twitter era that came with it. She told the story on The Graham Norton Show, and honestly, same.
JLaw asked. Of course she did.
Lawrence said she could not resist bringing up Pattinson and Stewart, and specifically the flurry of tweets Donald Trump fired off about their split back in the day. Pattinson, apparently, took it in stride.
"If you think I didn’t ask him about Donald Trump tweeting about the breakup with Kristen? I mean, obviously. It was like three days after the photos came out and Trump was like, 'He better leave her!'"
The 2012 mess, in case you scrubbed it from your brain
Quick refresher: In 2012, paparazzi photos of Kristen Stewart kissing director Rupert Sanders hit the internet. Sanders was married, and Stewart was still dating her Twilight co-star Pattinson. The fallout was instant. Stewart publicly apologized, calling it a momentary lapse in judgment, and the couple tried to patch things up, but they ultimately split in 2013.
Trump, unprompted, becomes a Pattinson-Stewart pundit
Back then, Trump was a TV personality and businessman, not a politician. He still had a habit of weighing in on celebrity drama on Twitter, and for reasons known only to him, he latched onto the Pattinson-Stewart saga. Across late 2012 and into spring 2013, he tweeted repeatedly that Pattinson should not take Stewart back, insisting she had cheated and would do it again, and that the relationship was permanently broken. He even suggested Pattinson would thank him later. It was... a lot.
Years later, Stewart told Variety the fixation was pretty wild and joked he would probably tweet about her comments again. It all reads even stranger in hindsight, given who Trump went on to become.
So why is Lawrence bringing this up now? Because she and Pattinson are co-starring
Lawrence and Pattinson lead Die My Love, adapted from Ariana Harwicz’s novel. Lawrence plays Grace, who moves to the countryside with her partner Jackson, played by Pattinson, after having a baby. Instead of a fresh start, she unravels: isolation, a husband who keeps vanishing for reasons that are not clear, and a mind that starts to smear the line between what is real and what is not. It is not a romance; it is a raw, unnerving character spiral.
