What a way to bond with a new co-worker!

Jennifer Lawrence has revealed that she and Robert Pattinson, her costar in the new dramedy *Die My Love*, spent their first day of filming in what might have been an awkward experience.

"Our first day on set was a naked scene where we were attacking each other like tigers," Lawrence said during *The Hollywood Reporter*'s Actress Roundtable, which also featured Jessie Buckley (*Hamnet*); Laura Dern (*Is This Thing On?* and *Jay Kelly*); Cynthia Erivo (*Wicked: For Good*); Renate Reinsve (*Sentimental Value*); and Amanda Seyfried (*The Testament of Ann Lee*).

Lawrence said the director of the film, Lynne Ramsay, had sent her and the *Batman* star to interpretive dance lessons ahead of time to help them prepare.

Surprisingly, the *Silver Linings Playbook* star explained that beginning the shoot that way had been a relief.

"It was kind of nice that it was Day One," Lawrence said, "'cause then it wasn't hanging over our heads."

Seyfried said that plan was "actually brilliant," before adding, "If you know what the genitals look like, then you don't wonder."

Lawrence agreed: "Then I don't have to think about it."

She clarified that they were not naked during the interpretive dance lesson.

'Die My Love' stars Jennifer Lawrence as Grace and Robert Pattinson as Jackson.

In *Die My Love*, Lawrence plays Grace, a mother struggling with postpartum depression and her longing for connection, especially with her boyfriend Jackson, the part played by Pattinson.

The film, which is out now, costars Sissy Spacek, LaKeith Stanfield, and Nick Nolte.**

And Spacek, for one, was impressed with their love scenes.

"They were brilliant to watch," Spacek told ** of Lawrence and Pattinson last month. "I mean, there was nothing sexier than watching them fight and then make up. It was incredible."

The *Coal Miner's Daughter *star had an up-close seat, as she plays Pam, the mother of Pattinson's character.**

*Die My Love* is in theaters now and available to rent or purchase on streaming platforms.
