Pattinson's Dance Scene Struggle with Lawrence

Robert Pattinson experienced significant stress while filming a dance scene with Jennifer Lawrence for their upcoming film Die, My Love, which explores themes like post-partum depression and marital strife. Despite his extensive acting experience, Pattinson found the improvisational dance requirement daunting, leading to fears of a 'mental breakdown' due to his discomfort with dancing. He requested the scene be choreographed or cut, but director Lynne Ramsay and co-star Lawrence encouraged him to proceed as planned. His anxiety over the scene was so intense that he was visibly sweating through his clothes. The film, based on Ariana Harwicz's novel, also stars LaKeith Stanfield, Sissy Spacek, and Nick Nolte, and is set for a 2025 release. Pattinson’s candidness about this challenge adds to his reputation for taking on diverse and demanding roles.
