Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence recently sat down with Q's Tom Power to talk about her comeback in the new film adaptation of Ariana Harwicz’s novel Die, My Love. The story centers on a young mother grappling with her mental health after the birth of her first child.
After reading the novel in his book club, Martin Scorsese sent Lawrence a copy, telling her he envisioned her as the lead. The film, directed by Lynne Ramsay, stars Lawrence alongside Robert Pattinson.
As a new mother herself, Lawrence felt this project was the right way to return to acting following a break from Hollywood. She describes the role as intense and shares how she mentally prepared for it.
“I don’t let my teen fame past define me,” Lawrence tells Power, explaining why she stepped away from the spotlight when she began feeling more like a celebrity than an actor.
The full interview, produced by Catherine Stockhausen, is available on the podcast Q with Tom Power. Listeners can find it wherever they get their podcasts.
Summary: Jennifer Lawrence embraces a challenging role as a new mother in Die My Love, marking her thoughtful return to acting after prioritizing her personal growth over celebrity status.
