Robert Pattinson recently opened up about his struggles filming a dance scene alongside Jennifer Lawrence in their upcoming film Die, My Love.

In a video interview with GQ on March 3, Pattinson, 38, revealed he was overwhelmed by the pressure of dancing on camera. "It seems to be in almost every movie, there's some moment where they’re like, 'Here’s the dancing scene,'" he said. "And it came to the day, and I was sweating so much — the insides of my trousers were wet with sweat."

The Twilight star, who plays Lawrence’s husband in the adaptation of Ariana Harwicz’s 2017 novel, shared that he felt especially anxious because Lawrence and director Lynne Ramsay are natural dancers. "They just find it so easy, and they’re like, ‘Just dance, it’s just music playing,’" he recalled. "And I'm like, ‘I'm telling you, I'm going to have a mental breakdown when this happens.’"

Die, My Love also stars LaKeith Stanfield, Sissy Spacek, and Nick Nolte. The psychological drama follows a woman (Lawrence) struggling with love and madness.

Pattinson’s packed schedule includes Mickey 17 (releasing March 7), Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, and The Batman sequel.
