Jennifer Lawrence looks like she has stepped out of her bathroom as she wears SLIPPERS and a robe coat in NYC
Jennifer Lawrence was spotted in a very casual look when out for a walk in New York City. The Hunger Games star, 34, stepped out in a long white robe coat over a blue t-shirt and grey sweatpants. The No Hard Feelings actress slipped her feet into backless slippers with bright red socks. She had her long blonde hair pulled back into a messy, low slung bun and she wore amber-lensed sunglasses. The mom of two has been busy lately as she jetted off to the Cannes Film Festival in support of her movie Die My Love. Last month, the mom of son Cy, three, gave birth to her second child, whom she has not yet released the gender or name of the baby. Lawrence is garnering very early Oscar buzz for her role as a mother grappling with postpartum depression. She stars as Grace alongside Robert Pattison's Jackson in Die My Love. Her postpartum depression turns into psychosis in an adaptation of Ariana Harwicz's 2017 novel, which has been described as both a horror and a comedy. The praise for her new role comes as Jennifer candidly shared her struggles during an 'extremely isolating' postpartum period after the birth of her first child. Speaking at a press conference to promote the film, Jennifer candidly shared how she related to her character's struggles after struggling with the loneliness of her early motherhood. The Hunger Games star gave birth to her first child, son Cy, back in 2022, and shared that she had not long had her baby when she was approached to star in the film. She said: 'I mean, obviously, as a mother, it was really hard to separate what I would do as opposed to what she would do. 'It was just heartbreaking. When I first read the book, it was just such a devastating, powerful... Lynne (Ramsay) said it was dreamlike. The mom of two has been busy lately as she jetted off to the Cannes Film Festival in support of her movie Die My Love. Seen here on May 18, 2025 Lawrence is garnering very early Oscar buzz for her role as a mother grappling with postpartum depression. Seen here on May 17, 2025 'I had just had my first (baby). And there's not really anything like postpartum. It's extremely isolating, which is so interesting when Lynn (Ramsay) moves this couple into Montana. 'She doesn't have a community. She doesn't have her people. But the truth is, extreme anxiety and extreme depression is isolated, no matter where you are. 'You feel like an alien. And so it deeply moved me. I wanted to work with Lynn Ramsey since I saw Rat Catcher.' In the film, Jennifer stars as Grace, a new mother whose mental health begins to deteriorate as her marriage crumbles, with Robert Pattinson starring as her husband Jackson. The star admitted that since having children, it has changed her perspective on her career, and described motherhood as 'brutal and incredible.' She added: 'Well, having children changes everything. 'It changes your whole life. But it's brutal and incredible. And so not only do they go into every decision of if I'm working, where I'm working, when I'm working. 'It taught me... I didn't know that I could feel so much. My job has a lot to do with emotion. They've opened up the world to me. It's almost like feeling like a blister or something, so sensitive. 'So they've changed my life, obviously, for the best, and they've changed me creatively. I highly recommend having kids if you want to be an actor.' Jennifer married art dealer Cooke Maroney in 2019 after being set up with him by her best friend Laura Simpson in 2018. The Real Housewives superfan previously romanced her Mother! director Darren Aronofsky, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, and her X-Men co-star Nicholas Hoult.

Suki Waterhouse cuts a low-key figure in a yellow cropped jumper and tracksuit bottoms as she stepped out in Los Angeles
Suki Waterhouse cut a very casual figure in yellow cropped jumper and black tracksuit bottoms as she stepped out in Los Angeles on Tuesday. The actress, 33, displayed her toned midriff in the ribbed quarter zip jumper which she teamed with oversized straight legged tracksuit bottoms, which she rolled at the waist. Suki kept comfortable in a pair of sliders and carried a black baseball cap and a disposable vape during her outing. The Daisy Jones and the Six star clipped her long blonde tresses out of her face in a claw clip and wore a pair of trendy sunglasses. Suki looked in good spirits as she headed to a fitness studio before calling at the grocery store afterwards. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The singer welcomed her daughter with her Twilight heartthrob fiancé Robert Pattinson in March 2024. The sighting comes after Robert made a rare remark about fatherhood while promoting his new horror comedy Die, My Love at the Cannes Film Festival. 'I think, in the most unexpected ways, having a baby gives you the biggest trove of energy and inspiration afterward. It's a different kind of energy,' he told reporters. He was joined at the event by his co-star Jennifer Lawrence, 34, who shares her son Cy, three, and a newborn with her husband Cooke Maroney. 'Having children changes everything. It changes your whole life. It's brutal and incredible,' Jennifer shared, concurring with Robert's comment. 'Not only do they go into every decision of if I'm working, where I'm working, when I'm working — they've taught me,' the Oscar winner also shared. Continuing, she explained, 'I mean, I didn't know that I could feel so much, and my job has a lot to do with emotions, and they've opened up the world to me. It's almost like feeling like a blister or something, so sensitive.' 'They've changed my life, obviously, for the best, and they've changed me creatively. I highly recommend having kids, if you want to be an actor,' she told reporters. After hearing his co-star, Pattinson said 'It's literally just like what Jennifer said. I'm here just to support.' 'Ever since she was born, it's reinvigorated the way I approach work, and yeah, you're a completely different person the next day,' he said. Both Lawrence and Pattinson are careful to keep their children as sheltered from the public as possible. Neither has a social media presence and Pattinson and Waterhouse have yet to reveal their daughter's name. Lawrence, who gave birth to her second child earlier this year, have not yet revealed the name or gender of the little one. The Hunger Games star and her husband are also parents to three-year-old son Cy. For it's part, Die, My Love, was welcomed into the world with open arms. The film, in which Lawrence plays a young mother who struggles with post-partum depression following the birth of her child, was delivered a nine-minute standing ovation by the audience. The film, based on the 2017 novel of the same name by Ariana Harwicz and directed and written by Lynne Ramsay is competing for Cannes biggest prize, the Palme d'Or.

Zoë Kravitz to Direct New Sony Film HOW TO SAVE A MARRIAGE with Robert Pattinson Producing — GeekTyrant
Zoë Kravitz is gearing up for her next move behind the camera. After making waves with her directorial debut Blink Twice , Kravitz is now in talks to direct How to Save a Marriage for Sony Pictures. The film is still early in development, and the script comes from Ross Evans, who will also executive produce. Meanwhile, Robert Pattinson is stepping in as a producer through his Icki Eneo Arlo banner with partner Brighton McCloskey, alongside Geoff Shaevitz and Evan Silverberg of Entertainment 360. No word yet on whether Pattinson will appear in the film, but as of now, he's strictly on the producing side. Plot details are being kept under wraps, but insiders are hinting at a tone that echoes the dark, edgy vibes of Blink Twice , which might explain why Kravitz is being eyed to direct. Her debut film was a slick, surreal thriller starring Naomi Ackie and Channing Tatum, and it earned her a round of praise. The success of that project clearly made an impression. Sony reportedly jumped on How to Save a Marriage as soon as it hit the market last year, in a post-strike atmosphere where studios were eager to lock in buzzy, high-profile projects. This one checked a lot of boxes with an original script, proven director, A-list talent behind the scenes. Source: Deadline

How to Watch Bong Joon Ho's 'Mickey 17' at Home
A new Bong Joon Ho movie is streaming and that's a big deal. After all, he's the director of critically acclaimed flicks such as Memories of Murder, Snowpiercer and the Oscar best picture winner Parasite. In Bong's new dark comedy Mickey 17, which is now available on Max, Robert Pattinson's main character applies to be an "expendable." As the official trailer reveals, the unconventional occupation involves missions that often result in death, with Pattinson's body reprinted every time he croaks. The sci-fi -- Bong's eighth feature film -- also stars Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Toni Collette and Mark Ruffalo. Mickey 17 is based on Edward Ashton's 2022 novel Mickey7. Other noteworthy Max premieres this month include The Brutalist (already streaming), season 3 of And Just Like That... (streaming May 29) and the new movie Mountainhead (streaming May 31). Max will soon take on the title HBO Max again, but for now, it's still using the one-word moniker. When to watch Mickey 17 on Max Mickey 17 hit Max on May 23 and is available to stream now. If you want a Max subscription, you can choose from a $10 per month Basic with Ads, $17 per month ad-free Standard or $21 per month ad-free Premium. Max also carries one of Bong's other movies, the 2006 monster flick The Host. You don't have to get Max to watch Mickey 17 at home -- your other option is to rent it at Amazon or Fandango at Home. That will cost you $6.

‘There's no chance an American will laugh': Tim Key on his very British new film and the US Office sequel
No, Tim Key doesn't know why he's dressed as a pigeon either. In Mickey 17, triple-Oscar-winner Bong Joon-ho's recent sci-fi blockbuster, the comedian plays a man desperate to join a mission to colonise the ice planet Niflheim. The next thing he knows, he's on the spaceship – inexplicably trussed up in a luxuriant pigeon suit and acting as the expedition leader's lackey. Can Key shed any light on this turn of events? 'No I can't,' he says, decisively. He enquired about his character's outfit during his first meeting with Bong. 'And he laughed and didn't answer.' On set, Key says he 'shuffled over in my costume' and asked again. 'And he laughed again.' At the premiere, the Parasite director gave Key 'a big hug, and then I said: 'Just going back to this pigeon thing … ' and he laughed again. I don't think I'm going to ask him any more.' Despite not being privy to even the most basic information about his character, Key certainly made Pigeon Man his own. It's difficult to describe his performance in the film, which stars Robert Pattinson, Toni Collette and Mark Ruffalo, as anything other than very Tim Key-y: it's the velocity of his sentences, the raising of the eyebrows, the combination of boyish eccentricity, melting desperation and a tendency, when pushed, towards bone-dry belligerence. This singular mode is the common denominator in the 48-year-old's sprawling CV: present in everything from his criminally underrated sketch show Cowards to his Edinburgh award-winning live act to his pitch-perfect stint as Alan Partridge's Sidekick Simon. There is something ineffable about Key's comedic presence – even a legend like Steve Coogan has admitted that upon meeting his future co-star he struggled to work out 'why what he was doing was funny'. While the Partridge gig did give Key a profile boost, this unpinpointable idiosyncrasy has kept him a cult figure, even within British comedy. Now, improbably, it looks as if it might make him a mainstream global star. It's not just decorated directors who have become enamoured of Key (Bong recently described a collection of his poetry – which renders the surreal, the extreme and the utterly mundane in pithy yet jarringly prosaic verse – as 'one of the most amazing things I've ever read'). America is cottoning on, too. The US's embrace of offbeat UK comedy talent has been gathering steam for a while (those in particularly high demand include Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Jamie Demetriou, Richard Gadd, Will Sharpe, Brett Goldstein and Richard Ayoade), but Key's inordinately wry stylings seemed particularly unlikely to translate. Apparently, not the case. Key spent last autumn in LA filming The Paper, the much-anticipated sequel to the US version of The Office, in which he has a major role. Soon after, his new film The Ballad of Wallis Island premiered at Sundance to a standing ovation ('One of the more overwhelming things that's happened to me') and has since been released across the Atlantic to glowing reviews. Based on Key and his Cowards colleague Tom Basden's 2007 Bafta-nominated short, the film sees reclusive lottery winner Charles (Key) pay his favourite musician, indie-folk has-been Herb McGwyer (Basden, who also wrote all the film's legitimately beautiful songs), to play a gig on a tiny Welsh island. Unbeknown to McGwyer, Charles has also invited his ex-collaborator and old flame Nell Mortimer (Carey Mulligan) in an attempt to get the band back together. Key admits it's a 'quirk' that this deeply British film was released in the US first, but is 'surprised and delighted' at its reception. So am I, considering it shouts out Monster Munch, Mick Hucknall and BBC 6 Music presenter Gideon Coe. Key is still unsure how many of the jokes will land, 'because there's no chance an American would laugh at any of those things'. Ultimately, though, the film's quintessential Britishness – it also features Olympic levels of emotional constipation – 'felt like a positive rather than a negative'. With that thought, he begins to doubt himself. 'Maybe we've accidentally made a film that only works in America.' Time will soon tell. Key is now back on home turf, his local coffee shop in Kentish Town, north London, ahead of the film's imminent UK release. It's a scorching May day and he is dressed for it: T-shirt, shorts, bright stripy socks, colourful trainers. Softly spoken and given to sudden, bashful smiles, he is feeling 'self-conscious' about chatting in the silence of the cafe's informal co-working space, where he sometimes writes himself. On stage, Key's alter ego is petulant, commanding and bemusingly elliptical. In real life, only the latter remains. Last night, he tells me, he went to see the hit Gareth Southgate play Dear England, which he describes as 'absolutely fine' and 'not a problem' – a verdict that could be glowing, neutral or damning, I honestly have no idea. Generally, though, Key plays it straight. He certainly doesn't have the same compulsion to crack jokes as his character Charles, who seems powerless to stop the stream of dubious puns and inane chatter that spools out of him as he tries to smooth things over between Herb and Nell. Yet, alongside this general buffoonery, Key manages to convey Charles's gradually revealed grief with the utmost subtlety and poignancy, in what I tell him is quite an incredible dramatic performance. 'Oh wow,' he whispers, drowning the compliment in absurdly intense embarrassment. Seriously, though, he does 'think there's less difference between comedy acting and [dramatic] acting than you'd think. It's all about finding the truth.' Having spouted such a luvvie cliche, he puts his head in his hands. 'Oh my God.' Key began his comedy acting career on a strange but indisputably triumphant note. After graduating from the University of Sheffield, he moved back to his home city of Cambridge and successfully auditioned for the Footlights comedy troupe – without mentioning his lack of student status. His peers – including Mark Watson, Peep Show's Sophie Winkleman and his future Cowards comrades – did eventually find out, but by that point he was indispensable; they ensured he was still able to perform in their 2001 Edinburgh fringe production, which was nominated for the festival's newcomer award. In the intervening years, Key has worked steadily: there have been Radio 4 shows, the sketch series, a sitcom (2022's The Witchfinder), a double act called Freeze with Basden, various Partridge iterations and myriad TV appearances. But his success has never felt like 'a runaway thing' – at no point has he been 'swept away' by a powerful industry tide and found himself 'in a long-running sitcom or playing Lewis or something'. This means, at the end of every onscreen project, he still goes back to his solo work: the poetry books, the live shows. There are upsides and downsides. 'You never feel like you've lost your way creatively; you might have lost your way financially …' A case in point: Key has spent recent months finishing his new book, LA Baby, a semi-fictionalised, poetry-peppered account of his time spent filming The Paperin Hollywood last year. He looks panicked when I bring up the show – a mockumentary set at a failing Midwestern newspaper – and insists The Paper itself is 'not relevant' to the book. So let's just say LA Baby is a hilarious and often dreamlike chronicle of Key's mounting insecurities about his inability to fit into his costume, do an American accent and generally act on an unnamed big-budget TV series. Last September, Key arrived in LA for the first time, feeling 'petrified', stressed by the city's ongoing heatwave and failure to cater for pedestrians ('I love walking around'). Living alone, he initially had no social circle and was only required on set half the week. The writing started as a 'very enjoyable form of therapy' in the face of loneliness, clammy discombobulation and homesickness (the last one manifests in the book in imagined sightings of BBC news presenter Nicholas Witchell and an extended fantasy about an Only Fools and Horses cuckoo clock). It was a period that echoed his experience of the pandemic, when he started writing 'to stay afloat' during months by himself in his north London flat: his anthology He Used Thought As a Wife covers Key's time chugging beer, craving hugs and losing touch with reality during the first lockdown, interspersed with grotesque vignettes sending up governmental incompetence. Mercifully, his isolation in LA was far more short-lived: by the end of the three-month stint, he was filming more frequently, had befriended his castmates and connected with one or two English expat comedians he knew from back home 'who generously introduced me to their circle of friends. By the end of it, I had quite a nice little group.' In The Ballad of Wallis Island, Key embodies another cartoonishly lonely character: Charles's heartbreakingly solitary existence is best summed up in the image of him aggressively playing a solo game of swingball. Does Key consider isolation a recurring theme in his work? He seems doubtful. 'I hadn't noticed that. I don't know. I don't think those two things are linked. Maybe they are.' Does he find loneliness a creatively fertile state? 'Dunno. Maybe. I think that's more for you to say.' He doesn't seem overly keen on analysing the prospect (or perhaps he's just not a fan of introspecting in the company of journalists, which would be fair enough), yet it's clear he does funnel his psyche into his work: he would be 'interested' he says, to to re-read He Used Thought As a Wife, which he wrote during lockdown, 'because I probably was going out of my mind, and it would be interesting to go back into it'. Charles, on the other hand, isn't especially autobiographical. For a start, he's an obsessive fan – a compulsion Key doesn't share: he never had any comedy heroes, let alone musical ones. That said, in a different life he can imagine himself 'on the outskirts of comedy trying to make friends with [Taskmaster co-host] Alex Horne'. Also, he did get starstruck bumping into ex-England cricket captain Mike Atherton. 'So I've definitely got it in me to fanboy.' Another person Key seems slightly starstruck by is his co-star Mulligan. He and Basden co-wrote the film during lockdown, and the Oscar nominee topped the list of dream Nells. Key happened to have her personal email address; a few years prior she'd asked him to host a fundraiser she was organising. He'd actually declined – MCing a big event being something he'd 'find really, really hard to do'. Still, he took a punt. Mulligan was unexpectedly keen; it turned out she was a longtime admirer of Key and Basden's work – specifically, the pair's Radio 4 series, Tim Key's Poetry Programme. 'It's a deep cut,' he nods, mystified. During their US press tour, Mulligan would sometimes reference the show. 'And I'd just be shaking my head thinking: 'This is insane: the esteemed Hollywood actress is now talking about my poetry show with Tom Basden.'' Mulligan may be the headline name, but The Ballad of Wallis Island's real charm patently stems from Key and Basden's decades-honed dynamic. This is perhaps why its wholesome parting message – meaning over money, kindness over ego, the true and the good over the shallow and the starry – packs such a punch. For Key, the achievement of having made the film is inextricably bound up with that bond. The first time he was asked in an interview to pick his favourite scene, he chose one with Mulligan. The second time, one with Basden. But 'I found it really difficult to say it – I got really emotional. It's easy to get blinded by the new and the fun. It's also easy to get complacent and take for granted a friend who's really, really talented. Not everyone has that.' For all the lavish, baffling blockbusters, A-list co-stars and LA stints, making The Ballad of Wallis Island is proof of his longstanding good fortune – and a reminder 'that the other, more famous people aren't better than this person you had all along'. The Ballad of Wallis Island is in UK cinemas on 30 May.
