Looking back on her history of on-screen love affairs, Jennifer Lawrence this week claimed there was something very different about working with actor Robert Pattinson.
For those in need of a reminder, the big-name pair are currently filming the dark comedy-drama movie Die My Love, in which they play a young couple grappling with the harsh realities of parenting while attempting to keep their relationship afloat.
Whilst both Lawrence, 35, and Pattinson, 39, have each starred in similar genres of blockbuster hits, and even have a handful of mutual collaborators, until this year, they hadn't actually shared the screen before.
Despite this, the Hunger Games actress claimed this week that she and Pattinson's connection upon filming together was instantaneous - so much so, that whilst filming more x-rated scenes together, she refused the assistance of an intimacy coordinator.

"We did not have [an intimacy coordinator], or maybe we did but we didn’t really..." Lawrence began in conversation with hosts of the Las Culturistas podcast. "I felt really safe with Rob."
She added of the British actor - who has been in a relationship with singer-songwriter Suki Waterhouse since 2018, with whom he shares a 19-month-old daughter: "He is not pervy and very in love with Suki. 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 would probably have an intimacy coordinator."
Unfortunately, however, Lawrence then went on to reveal that Pattinson's attitude towards her has felt like something of a rarity, claiming she'd previously been 'punished' by former male co-stars for not striking up a sexual relationship with them during filming.
"A lot of male actors get offended if you don’t want to f**k them, and then the punishment starts," the mother-of-two - who shares her sons with art gallery director husband Cooke Maroney - continued.
"He was not like that."
Asked to elaborate by horrified hosts Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers - the latter of whom quipped 'just a little cute social punishment', Lawrence mocked in a serious voice: "I’ve just heard of this, I’ve never experienced it…".
Finishing off by turning the conversation back to Pattinson, the Oscar-winner added: "He’s exactly what you would imagine, a folksy British guy and just sweet and not dramatic and really laid back."
