The 34-year-old actor is back on the big screen, starring in new psychological thriller Die, My Love, following a two-year break from acting, in which she turned executive producer\u2026 and produced an actual baby.<\/p>\n Lawrence now shares two children, aged three and one month old, with New York-based art director Cooke Maroney. The couple celebrated her Cannes success at the exclusive Club Albane rooftop – hosted by Dior who dressed Lawrence in a modern-day version of their 1949 Polenc dress, which reportedly took 250 hours to make \u2013 alongside co-star Robert Pattinson, actor Natalie Portman and model Helena Christensen.<\/p>\n Die, My Love follows a woman experiencing postpartum psychosis after being left alone to care for her newborn in the remote woods of Montana. Based on Argentine writer Ariana Harwicz\u2019s novel of the same name, it\u2019s produced by Scottish art-house director Lynne Ramsay and is one of few films to debut at Cannes that explores the darker side of motherhood.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/05\/GettyImages-2215599447.jpg” alt=”Jennifer Lawrence” title_text=”%22Die My Love%22 Red Carpet – The 78th Annual Cannes Film Festival” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_code][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″] \u2018Having children changes everything,\u2019 Lawrence shared of her own experience during a press conference for the film. \u2018It\u2019s brutal and incredible\u2026 I didn\u2019t know that I could feel so much. My job [as an actor] has a lot to do with emotion \u2026 and my children have opened up the world to me and changed me creatively.\u2019<\/p>\n In exploring the themes of the film, Lawrence also shared that she relates to her characters experience of postpartum anxiety and depression. \u2018There\u2019s not really anything like postpartum,\u2019 she explained. \u2018It\u2019s extremely isolating. The truth is extreme anxiety, and extreme depression is isolating no matter where you are. You feel like an alien.\u2019<\/p>\n It’s the first personal insight we\u2019ve got into Lawrence\u2019s life off-screen in years, because despite her self-deprecating, down-to-earth nature she\u2019s remarkably private when she\u2019s not on the promotional tour circuit. Once a self-described workaholic, Lawrence now takes regular breaks from acting in which she has hailed the joy of sleeping in, doing daily Pilates and spending time with friends like Emma Stone, Adele and Amy Schumer.<\/p>\n It might sound remarkably normal for someone who\u2019s Hollywood career started out so intense, her name now a guarantee of blockbuster success, but normal is exactly what Lawrence wanted. \u2018The protocol of stardom began to kill her creative spirit, to fuck with her compass,\u2019 Lawerence\u2019s best friend and producing partner, Justine Ciarrocchi, said of her first break from fame. \u2018So, she vanished, which was probably the most responsible way to protect her gifts. And sanity.\u2019<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-quote” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”Libre Bodoni|||on|||||” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_text_color=”#333333″ header_2_font_size=”40px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″] Not only have the breaks helped her personal life, but career wise too. \u2018I was not pumping out the quality that I should have,\u2019 she told Vanity Fair in 2021. \u2018I just think everybody had gotten sick of me. I\u2019d gotten sick of me. It had just gotten to a point where I couldn\u2019t do anything right. If I walked a red carpet, it was, \u201cWhy didn\u2019t she run?\u201d\u2026 I think that I was people-pleasing for the majority of my life. Working made me feel like nobody could be mad at me: \u201cOkay, I said yes, we\u2019re doing it. Nobody\u2019s mad.\u201d And then I felt like I reached a point where people were not pleased just by my existence. So that kind of shook me out of thinking that work or your career can bring any kind of peace to your soul.\u2019<\/p>\n In a viral video that resurfaces with every glimpse of Lawrence\u2019s new life off-screen, a 22-year-old J Law is seen telling Barbara Walters that in 10 years she hopes to \u2018not be in Los Angeles, [but] in a house on a big property and maybe starting a family. Everything\u2019s calm, I have a minivan.\u2019 She is unfortunately still in LA (previously bicoastal, but sold her $10million Manhattan penthouse in 2020) but she does drive a Volvo now. Hurrah!<\/p>\n \u2018My kids go into every decision of if I\u2019m working, where I\u2019m working, when I\u2019m working,\u2019 Lawrence said at Cannes. She\u2019s keen on keeping them out the limelight too. \u2018Every instinct in my body wants to protect [my kids] privacy for the rest of their lives, as much as I can,\u2019 Lawrence once explained. \u2018I don\u2019t want anyone to feel welcome into their existence. And I feel like that just starts with not including them in this part of my work.\u2019<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/05\/GettyImages-2215617889.jpg” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” alt=”Jennifer Lawrence” title_text=”%22Die My Love%22 Red Carpet – The 78th Annual Cannes Film Festival” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″] Working behind the camera has afforded her some of the flexibility she craves. Lawrence\u2019s production company with Ciarrocchi, Excellent Cadaver, not only put out her new psychological thriller, but the documentary Zurawski v Texas which explored the attacks on reproductive rights in the US, in 2024, and Afghan filmmaker Sahra Mani\u2019s documentary on how the Taliban takeover has impacted women, the year prior. Upcoming developments include Sue, a biopic on legendary Hollywood agent Sue Mengers, and a Real Housewives-inspired murder mystery called The Wives.
