Jennifer Lawrence Reveals Severe Postpartum Anxiety Aiding Film Role

Jennifer Lawrence has opened up about her severe postpartum anxiety following the birth of her second child, an experience that deeply informed her portrayal of a new mother in the film "Die My Love." She shared that the anxiety, which she did not experience after her first child, added a new layer to her understanding of motherhood and helped her connect authentically with her character. Lawrence described intense fears about her child's well-being, including worrying her baby was dead while asleep and feeling she was doing everything wrong. She also revealed that she sought comfort through AI, crying after receiving supportive messages from ChatGPT, and found relief with a new medication called Zurzuvae. Additionally, Lawrence recounted an unusual challenge on set where director Lynne Ramsay asked her and co-star Robert Pattinson to perform an interpretive dance naked, an experience she found humiliating but memorable. Overall, Lawrence emphasized that while having children is not necessary to play a parent, her personal experiences provided valuable insight for her role.
