Jennifer Lawrence recently revealed that she asked her Die My Love co-star Robert Pattinson about Donald Trump’s infamous online reaction to the Kristen Stewart cheating scandal. During an appearance on The Graham Norton Show, the Oscar-winning actress brought up the 2012 incident when Trump urged Pattinson to end his relationship with Stewart after her affair became public.
The discussion arose when host Graham Norton questioned the actors about bonding over their breakthrough roles in two major franchises, The Hunger Games and Twilight. Lawrence humorously admitted to confronting Pattinson on the subject of Trump’s tweets about Stewart’s infidelity.
A Look Back at Trump’s 2012 Comments on Kristen Stewart’s Affair
Lawrence explained how she couldn’t resist asking about the moment when Donald Trump took to social media to criticize Stewart’s actions. She recalled Trump’s posts happening just days after intimate photos of Stewart and Rupert Sanders, the director of Snow White and the Huntsman, were made public. Sanders was married at the time, which intensified public scrutiny of the affair.
Trump’s tweets advised Pattinson to leave Stewart, branding her a repeat offender. He wrote,
Robert Pattinson should not take back Kristen Stewart, she cheated on him like a dog & will do it again — just watch. He can do much better!
and later added,
Everyone knows I am right that Robert Pattinson should dump Kristen Stewart. In a couple of years, he will thank me. Be smart, Robert.
Following the revelation, both Stewart and Sanders issued public apologies, and Stewart and Pattinson’s relationship ended the following year.

Jennifer Lawrence Shares a Lighthearted Anecdote About Robert Pattinson
In addition to discussing the scandal, Lawrence shared a humorous story involving Pattinson during the show. The actress recalled a night at her home when Pattinson stopped by after finishing a project nearby.
Lawrence said,
We were in our pajamas, we were watching Little Women. It was December, and he was like, ‘I just wrapped something like a block away from you.’ And I was like, ‘Oh my God!’ because Rob is one of the girls. He wants to gossip. He is one of the gals. So I was like, ‘Come over.’
She described how Pattinson, despite being a devoted father and professional, brings out a nurturing side of her. Lawrence explained,
He’s also like my daughter. He’s a great father, he’s a professional, he shows up on time, but I wouldn’t trust that he, like, put a coat on … He brings out a very maternal [side in me],
highlighting their close friendship.
Rob Pattinson’s Unusual Snack Experience at Jennifer Lawrence’s Home
Lawrence revealed that during the visit, Pattinson expressed hunger and she offered him food—though it was hidden in her trash can. She recounted,
He comes in and I give him a hug, and he’s like, ‘You have any food? I’m so hungry,’ … He goes to the bathroom, and I do have food, but it’s in the trash. And so while he was in the bathroom, I was just, like, pulling food out of my garbage can.
The actress and her friends nervously watched as Pattinson ate the unconventional meal, and surprisingly, he enjoyed it. She remembered him saying,
I’m still hungry. Is there more?
When she admitted that more food was in the garbage, Pattinson replied,
Oh, I don’t mind!
