Speaking at the dazzling UK premiere at London’s Leicester Square on Wednesday night, the mega-star admitted that she was ‘scared’ at the prospect of working on the flick and to add insult to injury, ‘tore her diaphragm’ after hyperventilating for a scene.
And while she has been met with an impressive batch of early reviews, the American beauty admitted that she felt unsure about being cast in the film alongside Michelle Pfeiffer, Kristen Wiig and Domhnall Gleeson.

She confessed: ‘That’s what scared me and I thought I was severely miscast. I found time to find who she was while working with Darren and I was able to pull out this personality that I didn’t know existed.’
And once she found the role within her, Jennifer mentioned that she hyperventilated excessively to the point of a serious injury for a dramatic scene.
‘I tore my diaphragm for hyperventilating. People thought I was beaten up so want to clear it up that I did it to myself. It was my own doing,’ she hilariously admitted.
The movie had been written and directed by Aronofsky, who is now dating Jennifer, with the glamorous couple embarking on a relationship privately in September 2016 after filming for Mother! had wrapped.

The blonde also revealed: Michelle Pfeiffer and Javier Bardem and everyone was great and super nice.’
Meanwhile, Darren also proved to be unsure about casting Jennifer in the role, revealing at the premiere: ‘It was so interesting because people talked about how great, talented and gifted she was.
‘I had never seen her do anything like this before and I didn’t know if she would or could do it. She taught herself to act and she is a very technical actor. She just absorbed all the material we gave her and unleashed it and it exploded.’

Lawrence also teased the plot of the flick: ‘The secret title before we decided on ‘mother!’ was called ‘Six Days’. It’s almost like watching the universe begin and end in six days.’
Michelle stars as ‘Woman’ in the horror flick, alongside her onscreen partner Ed Harris known as ‘Man’. The duo are taken in by Jennifer’s character Mother and Bardem’s Him, after they mysteriously turn up at their house, leaving Mother uneasy.
She agrees to let the guests stay when urged by her poet beau, who is convinced that their arrival will help to cure his writer’s block, and falls pregnant before the movie’s drama then ensues.
Despite the film’s billing as an edge of the seat psychological thriller, and has a number of impressive reviews under its belt, The Hollywood Reporter claim it was met with a chorus of ‘large boos’ after launching in Venice.

Taking its frosty reception within their stride however, Aronofsky hit back at the negative response, suggesting he knew it wouldn’t suit to everyone’s tastes.
Speaking of the film, he explained: ‘I think it’s a very, very strong cocktail. Of course there are going to be people who are not going to want that type of experience. And that’s fine.
‘I’ve been very clear that this is a roller coaster, and only come on it if you’re prepared to loop the loop a few times.’
While she is famously tight-lipped about her romantic life, Jennifer recently opened up about her romance with the director in an interview with US Vogue.
