NEW YORK – Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson know a thing or two about life in the spotlight.
In the late aughts and early 2010s, the A-listers catapulted to fame in multibillion-dollar young-adult franchises "The Hunger Games" and "Twilight." Although they were once swarmed by fans and paparazzi at every turn, the actors have had a more relaxed relationship with the media in recent years.
Back then, “it was a lot rougher,” Pattinson says, seated with Lawrence for a joint interview for their new movie “Die My Love” (in theaters Nov. 7).
“Tabloid culture has gotten so much better,” Lawrence adds. “It was really mean. The paparazzi themselves used to chase you and try to get you in a car accident, or try to get you to freak out on them. Now if I'm with my kids, I'll just cross the sidewalk, give them a few shots, and then they just totally leave me alone.”
