Jennifer Lawrence shared an unexpected opinion during a recent interview with her co-star Robert Pattinson from the film Die, My Love, revealing that she believes the Twilight franchise is cooler than The Hunger Games. The conversation took place while promoting their new movie and focused on their experiences with the two major franchises.
Their Candid Chat During Vanity Fair’s Lie Detector Test
In a playful interview segment for Vanity Fair’s Lie Detector Test, Lawrence and Pattinson engaged in a question-and-answer exchange that quickly caught the attention of fans. When Pattinson reminded Lawrence that she had auditioned for Twilight, she confirmed it with a laugh, saying, “Yeah, I auditioned for Twilight.” He then asked if she regretted not booking the part, to which Lawrence replied simply, “No.”
The discussion grew more revealing when Pattinson asked,
“Do you think the Hunger Games is cooler than Twilight?”
Lawrence’s answer was a definitive “no.” The polygraph examiner confirmed her honesty, leading to laughter between the two actors. Pattinson, famous for playing Edward Cullen in Twilight from 2008 to 2012, reacted with amusement and humorously called Lawrence’s answer “breaking news.”

Lawrence, best known for portraying Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games series, jokingly suggested the lie-detector machine might have been malfunctioning. Meanwhile, Pattinson expressed enthusiasm about his potential return to Twilight, saying, “Oh yeah, for sure,” when asked if he would reprise his role as Edward Cullen if a new film were produced.
The lighthearted exchange unfolded as the actors promoted Die, My Love, a dark comedy-drama directed by Lynne Ramsay. The film explores a strained relationship between a couple navigating the complexities of parenthood and isolation, starring both Lawrence and Pattinson in prominent roles.
Significance of This Revelation in Their Careers
Jennifer Lawrence’s candid Twilight preference challenges the common perception that she would favor her iconic Hunger Games role above all else.
