Jennifer Lawrence on Filming “Die My Love” While Pregnant and Portraying Postpartum Depression
you know, I I’m not really a an actor that like, you know, brings the work home or, you know, I um I Yes. A part of what she’s going through is the hormonal imbalance that comes with postpartum, but she’s also having an identity crisis. Who am I as a mother? Who am I as a wife? Who am I as a sexual person to my husband? as a creative and I think she’s plagued with this feeling that she’s disappearing. Um, so for me, I was four and a half, 5 months pregnant when we shot. I had great hormones, you know, I was feeling great, which is really kind of the only way I would be able to to dip into some of this visceral emotion. And also, I think in terms of answering any question about my acting or my performance at all, I had Lynn Ramsay as my director. So, that kind of is it.
Jennifer Lawrence opens up about how “Die My Love” hit close to home, reflecting on postpartum depression, identity loss, and her own experience as a mother at the #CannesFilmFestival.

I think Jennifer Lawrence is extremely talented and beautiful!
Best actress
When is it coming out 😭😭
Linda!
With my 2nd child, I was hit by PPD and ended up barely eating or sleeping, convinced this feeling would never end 😢. I felt like I was disappearing right in front of my own kids. I read the book “Seventeen Gentle Steps Toward Your Inner Sunrise” and within days I felt like I could breathe again 🌬️. Wish I’d known about it after my 1st child—would’ve come to my rescue sooner.
She confessed that she is incredibly rude and mean to her fans. Hollywood hubris. No reason to watch her movies.
So excited for this film
I love the last part ❤
I hope this work isn't too stressful for the fetus.
Good Lord, spit it out already. All that, and she said nothing.
Shes aging so beautifully, I swear… Shes such an amazing person.
Hey isn't this the lady that voiced admiration for Amy Schumer when Amy was regularly making racist posts about Arabs? Very cool, one day everyone will have always been against this.
Good acting Jen… sound really authentic here
She’s describing BPD
I love her for who she is as a human, actress, and the fact she doesn't have an entitled ego. I hope she forever stays this way.
❤. She is great!
It’s giving me the vibes of the 2018 movie Tully. Can’t wait to see at the movies. ❤
My theater isn't getting it.
They say trauma effects down to a cellular level, so acting on such a deep level while pregnant might not be such a good idea, cause allthough is just acting, the body feels the emotion beeing acted out.. idk? Just wondering about this
I want to see this. Despite how much I hated ‘The Substance’.
You are very cool
😍
God seeing what he can get away with,without causing a riot!
I love these actors but as someone who’s had mental health episodes I’m not sure I’d want to watch it in a theater.
She is so honest with the expression of her ideas. She can talk her mind almost at 100% cause humans cannot do that. But Jennifer is very very very close
Yikes.. her being 4 to 5 months pregnant while playing a highly neurotic character I imagine is not good for her baby in the womb..
We’re a lot more self aware as well as of the world. We’re all lost, searching in d dark. Getting spooked by d smallest of external vectors. But this is GOOD 👍
We underestimate humanity. These r growing pains. We shall overcome, ✊🤝🖖 together!!
