Then I went back, and when I’m home with my husband making this family, I’m so happy I stayed. And then I met my husband, and he was like, ‘Put yourself here.’ I was like, ‘That feels right, but what if it’s not?’” In retrospect, Lawrence realized she was having commitment anxiety, “and it was coming out of my performance in all these different creative ways, but I wasn’t conscious of it. On Causeway: “I obviously cannot relate to risking my life for my country but I can understand, reading ‘Causeway,’ why I’m getting so emotional about somebody who doesn’t feel like they belong anywhere unless they’re on a schedule.”įear of commitment: “When you don’t fully know yourself, you have no idea where to put yourself. Some celebrities grow so isolated by their celebrity that you can no longer detect anything real in their screen performances. Adele told me not to do it! She was like, ‘I feel like space movies are the new vampire movies.’ I should have listened to her.” The film that changed her career in a negative way: “‘Passengers,’ I guess. “I had let myself be hijacked,” she said.

“I found out that a lot of filmmakers that I really loved and admired had scripts that weren’t even reaching me,” she said… in August 2018, as she wrapped reshoots for the “X-Men” film “Dark Phoenix,” she left CAA, the agency that represented her for 10 years. Why she left CAA: Some of her representatives had steered her away from smaller material like “Causeway,” warning that her audience wouldn’t understand. She’s spent a lot of time just… existing as a normal person without all of the celebrity rigmarole. She stepped away from the limelight, met Cooke Maroney, married him and gave birth to their son Cy Maroney. To promote Causeway, she chatted with the New York Times about the shift she’s made in the past three years. She’s incredibly proud of the film, and she hopes this marks a new era of her career, where she’s doing smaller, more character-driven films. She plays a veteran dealing with a traumatic brain injury. She was also pregnant during the second part of filming. She produced the film and shot half of it before the pandemic and half of it during the pandemic. Jennifer Lawrence is currently promoting Causeway, which streams on AppleTV.
