Jennifer Lawrence shared in a recent interview how she relaxed after shooting challenging scenes for her upcoming film Die My Love, directed by Lynne Ramsay, set to release on November 7, 2025. The movie centers around Grace, a writer facing a descent into psychosis after childbirth, and her husband Jackson, portrayed by Robert Pattinson, who struggles to cope with her changing behavior. Lawrence revealed that watching a particular reality TV show helped her decompress during filming.
Pregnancy’s Influence on Jennifer Lawrence’s Performance
During a conversation with Entertainment Tonight alongside co-star Sissy Spacek, Lawrence reflected on how filming while four or five months pregnant affected her portrayal of Grace. She noted that pregnancy awakened new parts of her brain, bringing a heightened awareness and a primitive, animalistic energy that resonated with her character. Lawrence explained that Grace’s feeling of being trapped matched the caged energy she experienced herself. She said,
“It was really helpful, because when you’re pregnant, you’re kind of animalistic,”

Relaxing with “The Secret Lives of Mormon TikTokers” After Intense Days
When asked how she unwound after emotionally heavy scenes, Lawrence credited a Hulu reality show, The Secret Lives of Mormon TikTokers (Wives), as her go-to escape. The show’s format of releasing all episodes simultaneously allowed her to binge-watch without waiting weekly, which she found especially convenient. Reflecting on her experience, Lawrence said,
“Well fortunately, the Secret Lives of Mormon Tiktokers (Wives) was on Hulu, and as we know they release [the episodes] all at once.”

“When I would watch them squirt all those… into those huge sodas, that made me, like, sick,”
highlighting how pregnancy affected her reaction to details in the reality series.
