Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson, at a press conference at the 78th Cannes Film Festival, promoted their film "Die, My Love", where, among other things, they were very open about their experience as new parents.
Jennifer, 34, is a mother of two. She and husband Cooke Maroney welcomed Cy in 2022. Then, in October 2024, it was announced that she was expecting another sweet baby.
"Having a child changes everything. It changes your whole life. It's brutal and incredible," the actress said.
Pattinson, who is the father of a 1-year-old daughter with Suki Waterhouse, added:
"I think in the most unexpected ways, having a child gives you a huge source of energy and inspiration. It's a different kind of energy."
Jennifer Lawrence further revealed that being a mother influences her work. She said that her children decide where, when, and even if she works.
"They're part of every decision. I mean, I didn't know I could feel so much. My work is very emotional, and children have opened up the world to me. They've changed my life, definitely for the better, and they've changed my creativity. I highly recommend having children if you want to be an actor," said the Oscar winner.
Pattinson, for his part, joked that "it's impossible for a man to answer properly on this topic."
"It's literally like Jennifer said. I'm just here for support," he continued.
"Since she [the daughter] was born, it has revitalized the way I look at work and yes, I am a completely different person."
The film "Die, My Love" debuted at the annual Cannes Film Festival. The film project is an adaptation of the 2017 novel by Ariana Harwicz and tells the story of a young mother who experiences postpartum depression and goes into psychosis. The director and screenwriter is Lynne Ramsay (known for "We Need to Talk About Kevin") and the film is in the running for the "Palme d'Or" award.
The film's cast and crew received a nine-minute standing ovation after its premiere at the French Film Festival.
