Jennifer Lawrence Jokes About Working with Robert Pattinson in ‘Die My Love’
Jennifer Lawrence humorously describes teaming up with Robert Pattinson in the film Die My Love as “total revenge” following her unsuccessful audition for the Twilight series.
Missed Opportunity in Twilight
In an alternate reality, Jennifer Lawrence would have played Bella Swan alongside Robert Pattinson's Edward Cullen in the popular Twilight films. She shared on the 2023 podcast The Rewatchables that the studio rejected her immediately and that she “didn’t even get a callback.”
Finally Sharing the Screen
Fifteen years and two major franchises later, Lawrence and Pattinson are now co-stars in Mubi’s new film Die My Love. Speaking at the New York premiere, Lawrence told Variety:
“Yeah, it’s the total revenge that I’ve wanted.”
About Die My Love
Directed by Lynne Ramsay, her first feature since 2017’s You Were Never Really Here, Die My Love is a psychological drama. Lawrence portrays a writer struggling with mental turmoil amid a difficult marriage and the challenges of motherhood.
On-Set Dynamics Between Lawrence and Pattinson
In the film, they exchange rapid-fire verbal insults, yet off-camera, their working relationship is much calmer. Lawrence shared:
“My favorite part of working with him was probably that we could be in the same room, but not talk for a really long time. I really appreciate that in a coworker.”
Pattinson recalled the first movie he saw Lawrence in was the 2010 drama Winter’s Bone, where she played a teen struggling in the Ozarks.
Summary: Jennifer Lawrence humorously reflects on her missed chance in Twilight as she reunites with Robert Pattinson in a psychodrama, appreciating their calm yet intense collaboration.
