Robert Pattinson has discovered that his memory of first meeting Jennifer Lawrence was wrong all along.
The pair star opposite each other in upcoming dark comedy-drama Die, My Love, and have been busy promoting the movie with appearances at the likes of Cannes and London Film Festival.

In a new interview with MUBI, the pair were recollecting when they first met, with Robert musing: “I think I met you at a Comic Con, at the Hard Rock Hotel.”
Cue, a confused looking Jennifer.
Turns out, Robert’s memory had deceived him, mixing up meeting the star in person with watching her on-screen persona, Katniss Everdeen.
“No, now I remember what it was,” he corrected himself. “That was when I was watching Hunger Games… I was watching it in a hotel room,” with Jennifer quipping, “By that measure a lot of people have met me!”

The actor starred as protagonist Katniss Everdeen in the dystopian film franchise for one of her breakout roles, with the character famously volunteering “as tribute” to save her sister from entering into the deadly game.
In Die, My Love, Jennifer stars as Grace, a woman who falls into postpartum psychosis while holed up in a remote house as her husband Jackson (Robert) goes off to work.

In an earlier press conference, reported by the Guardian, Jennifer spoke about drawing on her own experiences as a mother to help her in her role, also expressing the struggle of separating her own actions with her character Grace’s.
“There’s not really anything like postpartum,” she said. “It’s extremely isolating. The truth is extreme anxiety and extreme depression is isolating no matter where you are. You feel like an alien.”
The movie is directed by Scottish filmmaker Lynne Ramsay, who also picked apart unconventional threads of motherhood in acclaimed 2011 psychological drama We Need To Talk About Kevin, which starred Tilda Swinton.
