Terrified dancer.
Robert Pattinson said he nearly had “a meltdown breakdown” when he filmed a dance sequence with Jennifer Lawrence for their upcoming movie “Die, My Love.”
“I did this movie with Lynne Ramsay, and she’s a really good dancer. And Jennifer Lawrence is a really good dancer. They just find it so easy,” Pattinson, 38, said in a new interview with GQ alongside his “Mickey 17” director Bong Joon-ho.
Lawrence previously showed off her dance skills in 2012’s “Silver Linings Playbook” alongside Bradley Cooper.
“They’re like, ‘Just dance, it’s just music playing, just dance,'” the British actor said. “I was like, ‘I’m going to have a mental breakdown when this happens. We need to either choreograph it or cut it.’ And they’re like, ‘No, just dance, stop being all freak.'”
Pattinson said that on the day he had to film the dance scene, “I was sweating so much, the insides of my trousers, with sweat, were wet.”
“That’s a little exaggeration,” Pattinson added with a laugh.
When Joon-ho, 55, said that he loves the Bob Fosse musical movie “All That Jazz,” Pattinson expressed interest in wanting to do a similar type of project.
“I would love to do something like that,” he said. “The opening of that movie is one of my favorite things I’ve ever seen.”
In “Die, My Love,” Pattinson and Lawrence, 34, play a couple whose marriage unravels after an affair. The cast also includes LaKeith Stanfield, Sissy Spacek and Nick Nolte.
The dark comedy is based on Ariana Harwicz’s novel and is Ramsay’s first movie since 2017’s “You Were Never Really Here.” It filmed in Canada from August to October 2024.
Ramsay, 55, teased “Die, My Love” at the 2023 Sarajevo Film Festival.
“[Lawrence] just really responded to the material, which is hardcore in some ways, because it’s about postnatal depression and bipolar [disorder],” Ramsay said at the time.
“But it’s funny as well,” the director added. “Well, I’ve made it funny. I think I’ve made it funny. I hope I’ve made it funny.”
Pattinson’s other upcoming movies include “Mikey 17,” a sci-fi dark comedy from the director of “Parasite,” and Christopher Nolan’s fantasy film “The Odyssey,” which has a star-studded cast that includes Matt Damon, Zendaya, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Lupita Nyong’o and Charlize Theron.
He’s also playing Bruce Wayne again in “The Batman II,” which comes out in October 2027.
When asked about the superhero movie’s release date being delayed in a recent interview with Hero Magazine, Pattinson joked, “I started out as young Batman and I’m going to be f—ing old Batman by the sequel.. I’m 38, I’m old.”
“I’m old, but I’m healthier. I think I’ve actually brought my biological age down a bit,” he added.
