Twilight is a series of romantic movies mixed with fantasy and vampire elements that was watched by millions of viewers. However, the film left the actors with many mixed memories, especially for the female lead Kristen Stewart. After 15 years, Stewart now sits down and shares some funny stories from when she played Bella.
In an interview to promote the new film Love Lies Bleeding, Kristen Stewart had the opportunity to reminisce and rarely share about Twilight in the past. She said that she had to do countless embarrassing scenes, even weird ones since reading the script. “The most embarrassing thing I’ve ever encountered was witnessing and realizing that I was doing embarrassing things…”, Kristen Stewart revealed her feelings when she was playing Twilight.
The actress even criticized her co-star Robert Pattinson’s role as Edward. Stewart thinks Edward is a “patriarch”, likes to control and does not let Bella choose for herself. “If it were me, I would leave him immediately. Like when I want to try this, he says no because only he can do it,” Stewart expressed.
The former Bella also mentioned the line she hated the most in the entire Twilight series, which almost made her speechless. “That was when I had to say hello to… Taylor Lautner’s muscles, like ‘Hello, Mr. Muscle’… Oh my god,” Stewart said, feeling embarrassed.
Although it was a successful series, becoming a teenage brand in the 2010s, Twilight faced a lot of controversy, with many criticisms for the “3-cent” script and bad acting from the cast. It took a long time for the main couple Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart to escape the image of Edward and Bella, becoming recognized actors. Kristen Stewart’s choice to openly talk about and even complain about Twilight shows her maturity today. However, while the main cast is trying to “avoid” the Twilight name, the supporting actors have the opposite reaction. Recently, supporting names like the Cullen family gathered and attended an exchange event. This proves that Twilight still has a certain influence on popular culture, regardless of whether the film is praised or criticized in the eyes of the cast and audience.
