Oscar-winning actor Jennifer Lawrence joins Q's Tom Power to talk about her return to the screen, portraying a young mother grappling with her mental health. The film is a new adaptation of Ariana Harwicz’s novel Die, My Love, directed by Lynne Ramsay and co-starring Robert Pattinson.
Martin Scorsese, after reading the novel in his book club, sent a copy to Lawrence, expressing that he could envision her as the lead. This encouraged Lawrence to take on the role, relating to the story as a new mother herself.
Lawrence shares how she prepared mentally for the challenging role, emphasizing that she does not let her teenage fame define her. She also explains why she distanced herself from the public eye after feeling more like a celebrity than an actor.
