Jennifer Lawrence, the 27-year-old A-list actress, dismissed any inclination towards having children as she approaches her thirties. In a conversation with E!

The Oscar-winner, who’s romantically-involved with Mother! director Darren Aronofsky, told Sadler that when she initially reviewed the script for her upcoming film, a horror drama, she was put off, but Aronofsky’s big picture message and metaphors in the film ultimately persuaded her to do it.
‘When I first read the script I thought it’s too dark. I didn’t even want the script in my house and then I realized that’s why he’s a genius,’ she said of the filmmaker, renown for his movies such as Black Swan, The Wrestler and Requiem for a Dream.
