Jennifer Lawrence shared new insights into filming intimate scenes with Robert Pattinson in the movie Die My Love. Speaking about the experience during her November 5 appearance on the Las Culturistas podcast, Lawrence explained why they chose not to use an intimacy coordinator for the Robert Pattinson sex scenes. She described feeling comfortable and safe working alongside Pattinson, emphasizing their professional and respectful relationship on set.
Comfort and Respect Removed the Need for an Intimacy Coordinator
When asked about the absence of an intimacy coordinator during filming, Lawrence stated,
“We did not have [an intimacy coordinator], or maybe we did but we didn’t really… I felt really safe with Rob,”
Jennifer Lawrence said. She further clarified the dynamics with Pattinson, adding,
“He is not pervy and very in love with Suki Waterhouse. We mostly were just talking about our kids and relationships. There was never any weird like, ‘Does he think I like him?’ If there was a little bit of that I would probably have an intimacy coordinator. A lot of male actors get offended if you don’t want to f*ck them, and then the punishment starts. He was not like that.”
The Impact of Pregnancy on Lawrence’s Views About Nudity
Lawrence also reflected on how her pregnancy during the filming of Die My Love influenced her perspective on nudity and body image. She described a more relaxed attitude toward her physical appearance while working extensively on set. During a movie screening, she expressed,
“I don’t care about nudity. I’m not sensitive about it,”
and recalled,
“I think being pregnant took a lot of, like, vanity anxiety away. Before No Hard Feelings, I was dieting and not eating carbs and working out. I was pregnant [for Die My Love]. Like, what was I gonna do? Not eat? I was working 15 hours a day. I was just tired… I remember, like, them sending over a close-up of cellulite and being like, ‘Do you want us to touch this up?’ And I was like, ‘No. That’s an *ss.’”
Changing Standards in Intimate Film Scenes
Lawrence’s openness about the absence of an intimacy coordinator, combined with her candid thoughts on body image during pregnancy, highlights evolving attitudes around filming intimate scenes. Her trust in Pattinson and the professional environment they maintained challenges some common concerns actors face during such shoots. This candidness may encourage a broader understanding of actor comfort and consent practices on film sets moving forward.
