Jennifer Lawrence shares story of abuse: I had to lose 15 pounds, pose nude
"Having children changes everything," she said. "It changes your whole life. It's brutal and incredible. Not only do they go into every decision of if I'm working, where I'm working, when I'm working, (but also) they've taught me - I didn't know that I could feel so much."
"They've changed my life, obviously, for the best, and they've changed me creatively," she added before quipping, "I highly recommend having kids if you want to be an actor."
Lawrence also reflected on the postpartum period while discussing the role. "There's not really anything like postpartum," she said. "It's extremely isolating. ... Extreme anxiety and extreme depression is isolating, no matter where you are. You feel like an alien."

Early reviews for "Die, My Love" have heaped praise on Lawrence, with Deadline's Damon Wise writing that it "might yet prove to be a career best" for the actress, IndieWire's Ryan Lattanzio saying that she has "never been better," and Vanity Fair's Richard Lawson declaring that she is "mesmerizing."
If Lawrence is nominated at the Oscars in 2026, it would be her first Academy Award nod since 2016, when she was up for best actress for "Joy." She won best actress for "Silver Linings Playbook" in 2013, when she was 22, and has also been nominated for "Winter's Bone" and "American Hustle."
After taking a step back from acting, Lawrence has only appeared in a handful of films in recent years, including the 2021 satire "Don't Look Up" and the 2023 romantic comedy "No Hard Feelings." Speaking about her acting hiatus on "The Late Show" in 2021, "I took a break and nobody really cared," she said.
"I got to feel like I could become a part of the world again without fanfare."

Bend It Like Beckham sequel in the works, director says
A sequel to Bend It Like Beckham is in development more than 20 years after its original release, the film's director has confirmed. The 2002 comedy-drama starred Parminder Nagra and Keira Knightley, who chase careers in professional football despite their parents' wishes. Directed by Gurinder Chadha, it is credited with inspiring a generation of women to take up football. Chadha teased the sequel in Basel, Switzerland, on Saturday (July 26), where England are set to take on Spain in the final of the Women's Euros on Sunday (July 27). A sequel to 'BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM' is in the works. (Source: Deadline) — DiscussingFilm (@DiscussingFilm) July 26, 2025 She has earmarked 2027 for the next instalment, to mark both the film's 25th anniversary and the FIFA Women's World Cup in Brazil, BBC News reports. Chadha said she was still unsure what form the sequel might take, but suggested it could either be another film or a television series. "I'm pretty certain that everyone's going to want to come back" Discussing with Deadline about the sequel, Chadha shared: "I'm excited to revisit the original characters and revive the enduring story and build on the legacy we helped to create for the women's game." The original cast members 'are aware that a sequel is being developed, but they obviously want to see a script before they commit". 'I'm pretty certain that everyone's going to want to come back,' she adds hopefully. She added: 'Everything hinges on the script and if the original cast likes it. 'I am working really hard to make sure every character I bring back has a decent arc and scenes.' Alongside that, there is the hope that members of the current England squad would be "queuing up" to take on cameo roles. Although the environment around women's football has changed significantly since the film's release, Chadha says there is still some work to be done. She explained: "A lot has changed since the original movie, but I think that people still don't think that women should play football. "There are people who still don't take it seriously, although the Lionesses are riding high.
