Hollywood actress Jennifer Lawrence has shared experiences from her life as a mother of two.

The 34-year-old had her second child a few months ago. "Having children changes everything," she said in Cannes, where she presented the competition film "Die, My Love".

"It's brutal and incredible," Lawrence continued. "They don't just play a role in deciding whether I work, where I work, when I work. I didn't know I could feel so much. My job has a lot to do with feelings, and they've opened up the world to me."

Lawrence: "They have changed my life"

It almost felt like being an open wound, Lawrence continued. "They've changed my life, obviously for the better, and they've changed me creatively. I highly recommend having children if you want to be an actress."

In Lynne Ramsay's film "Die, My Love", Jennifer Lawrence plays a mother who lives in a remote area and struggles with parenthood and her role as a wife.

British actor Robert Pattinson can also be seen in a leading role in the drama.

Lawrence has been married to the US art dealer Cooke Maroney since October 2019. Their son Cy was born in February 2022. The couple became parents for the second time in March.
