VIDEO : Darren Aronofsky Wasn't Sure Jennifer Lawrence Could Play His Lead

Forty-eight-year-old filmmaker Darren Aronofsky, who shot to fame with the critically-acclaimed 'Black Swan', has helmed a thriller called 'mother!'. It stars 27-year-old actress Jennifer Lawrence as the titular main character. He has admitted he had never seen her play a role like this one before and didn't know if she could handle it. Speaking at the UK premiere in London's Leicester Square on Wednesday, Aronofsky said: "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.
