Nikki Reed reveals character’s motives in Breaking Dawn
Nikki Reed Reed, 22, plays Rosalie Hale in the hit vampire franchise, who is desperate for Bella to give birth in the final movie instalment, Breaking Dawn.
The actress, who is starring in new movie Last Day Of Summer, said Rosalie's desire to keep Bella's baby alive stems from her own maternal feelings that she had as a human.
Speaking to MTV, Reed said: "I think that Rosalie just always wanted to be a mum, and that's how I look at it. It has nothing to do with being pro-life or anything.”
She added: "I think it's about her want, her need to be a mother, and this is the only opportunity she's ever going to have, so she's willing to let Bella die, so she can have that and fulfill that, and that's how I look at it. It's her own personal desires."
