Jennifer Lawrence Jokes Working With Robert Pattinson in ‘Die My Love’ Feels Like ‘Total Revenge’ After Failed ‘Twilight’ Audition

Jennifer Lawrence Jokes About Working With Robert Pattinson in “Die My Love”

Jennifer Lawrence shared with humor that collaborating with Robert Pattinson in the new film Die My Love feels like poetic payback after she didn’t land a role in the Twilight series years ago.

“Yeah, it’s the total revenge that I’ve wanted,”

Lawrence told Variety during the New York premiere of the film.

From Rejection to Reunion

In an alternate universe, Lawrence might have played Bella Swan opposite Pattinson’s Edward Cullen in Twilight. As she shared on the The Rewatchables podcast in 2023, the studio rejected her immediately, and she “didn’t even get a callback.”

Now, 15 years later and after headlining two major franchises, Lawrence finally appears alongside Pattinson in Mubi’s psychological drama Die My Love, directed by Lynne Ramsay in her first feature since 2017’s You Were Never Really Here.

Inside “Die My Love”

The film portrays Lawrence as a writer whose mind begins to fracture under the strain of a turbulent marriage and motherhood. On screen, she and Pattinson trade fierce, emotional tirades, while off camera, their partnership was calm and understated.

“My favorite part of working with him was probably that we could be in the same room, but not talk for a really long time. I really appreciate that in a coworker,”

Lawrence added.

Pattinson’s Impression

Pattinson recalled that the first time he ever saw Lawrence on screen was in the 2010 film Winter’s Bone, where she portrayed a resilient teenager in search of her missing father in the Ozarks.

Author’s Summary

Jennifer Lawrence finally teams up with Robert Pattinson in “Die My Love,” turning a rejected “Twilight” audition into a lighthearted moment of artistic payback and creative reunion.
