Kristen Stewart: My family get bored by my films
Kristen Stewart The 20-year-old actress is considered one of Hollywood’s most promising young talents, and is celebrated for her part in the Twilight movie franchise, as well as her appearances in less mainstream films including Into the Wild and The Runaways.
Kristen enjoys stretching herself and doesn’t want to be typecast, although she admits sometimes her family wish she would settle for big budget studio productions.
“My whole family are like, ‘Why are you always doing these boring independent films for the Sundance Festival?’ I tell them those films are my favourite,” she told more! magazine.
“We have different opinions but they’re very proud of me.”
Kristen’s mother is particularly pleased with her daughter’s choice to appear as the female lead in the Twilight films, which tell the tale of a young girl who falls in love with a handsome vampire.
Jules Mann-Stewart has always been fascinated by the genre, so was thrilled when her daughter landed the part of Bella Swan.
“My mom was a history major at school and she was really intrigued by Vlad the Impaler [Dracula]. So she loves vampire and pirates and is really into Twilight,” added Kristen.
