Jennifer Lawrence has revealed her fears about her new film, co-starring Robert Pattinson.
The two Hunger Games and Twilight actors are set to release their Die My Love thriller, a drama that follows a mother (Lawrence) as she develops psychosis after the birth of her child.
That’s when her husband (Pattinson) starts to become anxious and worried, leading to the couple taking part in explosive dysfunction.
At the time of filming, Lawrence was pregnant with her second child and has previously shared how being nude in the flick wasn’t an issue for her.

However, on November 5, she appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and revealed something else: her fears of disappointing fans.
The 35-year-old explained that if you’ve been a fan of Pattinson, this may be a film that’s a little different than his vampire work.
As social media users joke that it’s essentially a fan fiction work, which crosses over her heroine Katniss Everdeen with vampire Edward Cullen.
“The internet’s going crazy that Katniss and Edward are in a movie together,” Fallon told the mother-of-two.
Lawrence said: “Yeah, well, I’m very nervous that people are gonna, like, sprint to the theater thinking it’s, like, Katniss and Edward fanfic, and it’s not.
“It’s, like, a very idiosyncratic, poetic, like, work of art,” she added. “It’s great, but if you’re expecting fanfic, you’re gonna be really disappointed. I’m just afraid it’s gonna come out and everybody’s gonna be mad at me!”
Previously, Lawrence caught some heat when she shared she opted out of using an intimacy coordinator on set.
“We did not have [an intimacy coordinator], or maybe we did but we didn’t really… I felt really safe with Rob,” Lawrence said on the podcast. “He is not pervy and very in love with [partner] Suki Waterhouse. We mostly were just talking about our kids and relationships.”
She explained that there 'was never any weird like, Does he think I like him?' moments on set and for her, ‘if there was a little bit of that I would probably have an intimacy coordinator’ as she claimed there are ‘a lot of male actors’ who ‘get offended if you don’t want to f*** them’.
People were a little miffed by her explanation as coordinators are used to help actors feel safe and provide an equal ground for both people to be comfortable.
Online, one person said: “Again… that is not the point of intimacy coordinators. it’s so that every person on set (including behind the camera) feels safe and protected. seasoned (and new) actors need to stop acting like it’s a badge of honor to not have an intimacy coordinator.”
Someone else wrote: “Girl who thinks intimacy coordinators exist just in case your costar is in love with you.”
