Robert Pattinson Embraces Girlie Batman — and Jennifer Lawrence Drops a Secret Before Her Psychotic Drama
Robert Pattinson and Jennifer Lawrence are set to scorch the screen in Die, My Love—and their off-screen bond is just as electric, with the eccentric duo’s growing friendship hinting at their most unforgettable collaboration yet.
Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson made a Lynne Ramsay psychodrama together, and somewhere along the way they also turned into actual friends. The part that surprised me: by JLaw's account, Rob is now basically one of her pajama-night buddies. Also, a single dance scene nearly sent Batman into a full-on panic. So yes, this one has range on and off camera.
Pajama night with Rob Pattinson (not a sentence I thought I'd type)
On October 17, Lawrence told The Graham Norton Show that she and Pattinson barely knew each other before shooting Ramsay's Die, My Love. Cut to December: she's at home with her girlfriends, in pajamas, watching Little Women, when Pattinson texts that he just wrapped a shoot a block away. She invites him over because, as she puts it, he's there to gossip like one of the crew.
"Rob is one of the girls... he wants to gossip."
It's oddly perfect for these two: equally oddball in real life, now bonding over cocoa and cinematic heartbreak between takes on a vicious psychosexual drama.
Apparently, Lawrence wants to mom him
Lawrence also said she gets protective around Pattinson because he's the type who might forget a coat or forget to eat. She swears he's a pro who shows up on time and is a great dad, but if you're picturing Jen handing Rob a granola bar and a jacket between setups, you are not wrong.
The dance scene that almost broke him
Pattinson has lived comfortably inside weird, anxious characters before: The Lighthouse, The Devil All the Time, Tenet. But Die, My Love threw him a curveball he couldn't shrug off: an unchoreographed dance scene alongside two people who actually like dancing, Ramsay and Lawrence. He told GQ the freeform approach spiraled him toward a meltdown.
"I'm telling you, I'm going to have a mental breakdown when this happens. We need to either choreograph it or cut it."
Their response was basically: relax and dance. His response: absolutely not. Honestly, relatable.
What the movie actually is
Die, My Love pairs Lawrence and Pattinson in one of Ramsay's starkest setups yet. Lawrence plays Grace, a young mother battling postpartum depression who slowly slips into psychosis. Pattinson is the husband watching helplessly as she unravels. It's wild, erratic, and deliberately uncomfortable — the kind of movie that pokes at you long after the credits.
