Lawrence, Pattinson Discuss Parenthood at Cannes

At the Cannes Film Festival, Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson discussed how becoming parents to young children has profoundly affected their lives and performances in the psychological drama 'Die, My Love.' The film, directed by Lynne Ramsay, explores postpartum depression and marital strain, themes both actors found resonant given their own experiences of parenthood. Lawrence, now a mother of one, described the challenges of postpartum isolation and how her real-life emotions influenced her portrayal of Grace, a new mother struggling with mental health. Pattinson shared how fatherhood gave him renewed energy and insight, and highlighted the difficulty of supporting a partner through mental health struggles. The film received a lengthy standing ovation at Cannes and strong critical acclaim. Lawrence also recommended that actors consider parenthood as a way to access deeper emotional layers for their work.
