Kristen Stewart has reflected on her time playing Bella Swan in the Twilight film franchise, calling herself a 'pretentious little loser' during that period. The franchise, which consists of five movies, was released over a five-year period, with the first film coming out almost 18 years ago.
Stewart and her co-star Robert Pattinson, who played Edward Cullen, experienced a chaotic filming situation in Brazil, where a massive storm trapped the cast and crew in a house. Despite being offered a way out, Stewart declined, comparing the situation to the sinking of the Titanic.
The actress has said that she was trying to make the films 'so so serious' at the time, but now sees that she was 'kind of teenage about it'. She has come to appreciate the movies differently with hindsight, realizing that what she and her co-stars were doing was 'f--king real' and 'kind of campy and sick'.
Stewart's comments come as she promotes her new movie, 'The Wrong Girls', alongside co-star Alia Shawkat. The actress is now 36 years old and has gained a new perspective on her time making the Twilight films.
