Jennifer Lawrence said that she didn’t want her cellulite edited out of her new film Die My Love
The actress explained that she’s “not sensitive” about nudity
Lawrence previously told PEOPLE that she drew on her own experience to portray Grace, a new mother facing postpartum psychosis
Jennifer Lawrence has no fear when it comes to nude scenes.
At a special screening of her new movie Die My Love, the 35-year-old actress explained why she was comfortable being vulnerable in the role.
“I don’t care about nudity. I’m not sensitive about it,” she explained to the crowd in a video captured by Vulture. “I wanted [director] Lynne [Ramsay] to have total freedom artistically.”
Lawrence continued, “I think being pregnant took a lot of, like, vanity anxiety away. Before No Hard Feelings, I was dieting and not eating carbs and working out.”
Things were different when filming Die My Love, she explained, as she was pregnant with her second child. “What was I gonna do? Like, not eat? I was working 15 hours a day. I was just tired,” the Oscar winner said.
“I remember them sending over a close-up of, like, cellulite being like, ‘Do you want us to touch this up?'” she recalled. “And I was like, “No. That’s an ass.'”
Lawrence also said that it “felt really freeing” to not worry so much about her appearance while shooting the thriller, in which she plays Grace, a new mother slipping into postpartum psychosis.

Lawrence shares son Cy, 3, and a son born earlier this year with husband Cooke Maroney. She previously opened up about postpartum anxiety with The New Yorker.
“I just thought every time he was sleeping he was dead,” she told the outlet of her baby. “I thought he cried because he didn’t like his life, or me, or his family. I thought I was doing everything wrong, and that I would ruin my children.”
In speaking with PEOPLE on the red carpet at the N.Y.C. premiere of Die My Love, on Saturday, Nov. 1, Lawrence said she was able to draw from her own life while tackling the role.
“I didn’t really end up having really bad postpartum [anxiety] until my second [baby],” the actress said, noting that she believes the experience provided her with a more nuanced perspective while approaching her most recent project.

She also said that she and costar Robert Pattinson bonded on set over being parents to young children. TheTwilight star, 39, welcomed a baby girl with fiancée Suki Waterhouse last year.
“[We bonded] over our kids because — like any new parent knows — that’s the only thing you want to do is just, like, look at pictures and show people pictures and videos of [your] kids, so that’s what we did,” she recalled.
“And his baby was like brand new, and mine was too,” Lawrence added.
