‘I don’t think that’s how it’s supposed to work!’ the Louisville, Kentucky native said, adding that her state of mind was drastically different about five years back.

‘When I was 21 or 22 I was like, “I can’t wait to be a mother.” Now I’m like …’

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.

‘That’s why I have always wanted to work with him,’ she said of her love. ‘He’s unafraid. He’s bold and I do agree with the message.’

The Hunger Games actress stars in the movie alongside Javier Bardem, who revealed in an interview with MTV that Lawrence retreated to a tent to watch Kardashians reality shows and indulge in the light-hearted decadence from the five-star family for a break from the morose energy on the film set.

Until that point, Bardem revealed he ‘didn’t know who they were.’

Bardem said that J.Law was shocked that Bardem hadn’t a clue about the existence of the reality TV family.

‘She was laughing at me so hard [and said,] “You don’t know who the Kardashians are?”‘ the actor said. ‘Like she was talking to me about Einstein.’

Bardem said he told her: ‘No, I don’t know who those people are. Who are them? What’s their planet? Where are they coming from? What do they want? Where is the spaceship?’
