Jennifer Lawrence Gets Real About 1 Aspect Of Motherhood That’s ‘Extremely Isolating’

Jennifer LawrenceJennifer Lawrence has opened up about the realities that come with motherhood and how it’s affected her work.The Passengers actor stars in a new film, called Die My Love, in which her character develops postpartum psychosis after childbirth. Lawrence, who now has two children, spoke about how her own experience with having children informed her process. “As a mother, it was really hard to separate what I would do as opposed to what she would do. And it was just heartbreaking,” Lawrence said of her character at a Cannes press conference for the movie, according to Variety.“I had just had my firstborn, and there’s not really anything like postpartum. It’s extremely isolating, which is so interesting,” she said, before again talking about her character’s experience in the film. “When Lynne moves this couple into Montana, she doesn’t have a community. She doesn’t have her people,” Lawrence said. “But the truth is, extreme anxiety and extreme depression is isolating, no matter where you are. You feel like an alien.” In her experience, “having children changes everything,” Lawrence said. “It changes your whole life. It’s brutal and incredible,” she continued. “So not only do they go into every decision of if I’m working, where I’m working, when I’m working, they’ve taught me – I mean, I didn’t know that I could feel so much, and my job has a lot to do with emotion. It’s almost like feeling a blister or something – like, so sensitive.” She added: “I highly recommend having kids if you want to be an actor.”Jennifer Lawrence, pictured while pregnant with her first child. Lawrence only recently welcomed her second child, whom she was pregnant with during the filming of Die My Love. The Oscar winner and her husband, Cooke Maroney, have not publicly released any details about the baby’s sex or name. Lawrence and Maroney are also parents to a three-year-old son, Cy, born in February 2022.The 34-year-old is very honest about her experience as a parent and shares how motherhood has changed her.She revealed in a sit-down with Interview magazine in 2023: “I didn’t have that much security before I had a kid but, once I had one, with my intrusive thoughts and anxiety, I wanted us to have security around all the time.”Related...'Motherhood Does Not Erase Your Sexuality' – 3 Mums On Sex During And After PregnancyThese 4 Motherhood Myths Are BS – It's High Time We Rejected ThemAs An Autistic Mum, Pregnancy And Motherhood Is A Sensory Overload
