Actress Jennifer Lawrence about having children: I have opened the doors of the world

Normally it is not one of those who speak openly about their personal life, but actress Jennifer Lawrence caught the attention of many this week when speaking from the heart about motherhood on the stage of the Cannes Film Festival.

During a press conference on Wednesday about his current film, Die, My Lovethe actress asked the following question:

“Considering that the ego is a large part of an actor’s career, and that you have been in the center of attention for a long time, how did your children change your perspective about your career and about what is really important in life?”

Lawrence, who has just welcomed his second child to the world, spoken passionately about this new role of motherhood:

“Having children changes everything. It changes your whole life. It’s brutal and incredible. They not only influence every decision to work, where I work, when I work … they have taught me. … I didn’t know that I could feel so much.”

Beautiful. Jennifer Lawrence encourages people to have children and celebrate motherhood.

Feelings and catharsis are nothing new in the world of acting, and Jennifer Lawrence, known for their role in The hunger games and his Oscar winning performance in Silver Linings Playbookhe has always shown great emotional depth. But now he is experiencing much more.

“My work has a lot to do with emotion, and they have opened the doors of the world,” Lawrence continued. “It’s almost like feeling a blister or something. So sensitive. So have changed my life, obviously for the better, and they have changed me creatively.”

The actress, who was five months pregnant during the filming of her current film with Robert Pattinson and Sissy Space, spoke with love of her new role as a mother, telling the public: “I recommend having children a lot if you want to be an actor.”

Interestingly, the new film that was promoting when he gave this speech, which has gone viral, paints a different picture of motherhood. Lawrence plays a first -time mother with her co -star Pattinson as a father, who is mired in postpartum depression. Apparently, the character ends up going crazy. I am not sure if the film is worth it, but I prefer Lawrence’s reaction in real life by becoming a mother than the story inspired by the book.

Lila Rose, from Live Action, invited Aaron Kheriaty to her podcast To talk about the message, and both agreed how much a person changed to become a father, “because you worry about the next generation,” Kheriaty said. The father of five children says that his life is much better as a father and that he has done it “best doctor.”

“But I was especially built to listen to it (A LAWRENCE) to say this because the message for many, and especially for many young women, is: first the race, the children stand … and she recognized: now I make career decisions based on my children because they are actually more important for me than my next role.”

And he has really helped him – “a world has opened me” – as the actress said. Lawrence’s vision of motherhood is so refreshing in this world where many consider paternity as a “burden”, as Lila Rose, a mother of three said, in her podcast.

“I would love to see more headlines in the media celebrating mothers who value their children,” Rose told Kheriaty. And, hopefully, these flashes of light, even from Hollywood, will help us all to build and proclaim a culture of life where each baby is celebrated.
