    Jennifer Lawrence says some of her past male co-stars would "punish" her if she turned down their advances

    Revealing their lewd behaviour during a discussion about intimacy on set for her new film Die My Love, the 35-year-old Oscar-winning actress made the remarks while appearing on the Las Culturistas podcast, hosted by comedians Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers.


    Jennifer said she did not need an intimacy co-ordinator for Die My Love, which co-stars Robert Pattinson, 39, but emphasised he was not among the actors who had mistreated her.

    She said: "A lot of male actors get offended if you don't want to f*** them. And then the punishment starts."

    Bowen and Matt reacted with surprise, before Matt joked: "Just a little cute social punishment."

    Jennifer then added, in an exaggerated, mock-serious tone: "I've just heard of this, I've never experienced it... ."

    Discussing her experience filming Die My Love, Jennifer said she felt comfortable working with Robert and did not find an intimacy co-ordinator necessary.

    She said: "We did not have (an intimacy co-ordinator), or maybe we did, but we didn't really.

    "I felt really safe with Rob. He's not pervy and very in love with (his partner) Suki (Waterhouse.)

    "We mostly were just talking about our kids and our relationships. So there wasn't any weird like, 'Does he think I like him?' If there was a little bit of that, I'd probably have an intimacy co-ordinator."

    The film, directed by Lynne Ramsay, is released in cinemas on Friday (07.11.25.)

    Based on Ariana Harwicz's 2012 novel, it follows a woman's mental unraveling and marital struggles after becoming a mother.

    Jennifer, who won an Academy Award for Silver Linings Playbook in 2013, has become one of Hollywood's most prominent actors.

    Her career took off after her breakout performance in Winter's Bone, directed by Debra Granik, which earned her an Oscar nomination at 20.

    Jennifer, who has two sons with husband Cooke Maroney, went on to achieve global recognition for her role as Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games film series.

    Alongside her work in blockbuster franchises, Jennifer has built a reputation for working with acclaimed filmmakers, including David O. Russell on American Hustle and Joy, and Darren Aronofsky on Mother!
