Adapted from Stephenie Meyer’s novels by the same name, theTwilightmovies grossed a combined $3.3B worldwide, as perVarietyreports. Therein, Kristen Stewart appeared as the high school outcast Bella Swan alongsideRobert Pattinson‘s sexy bloodsucker Edward Cullen, for five movies. Thus, addressing Stewart’s career-launching role, Hirsch started by asking if the actress likes her character in retrospect.
“Let’s talk about Bella for a second. Do we not like her in retrospect?” Amanda Hirsch asked.
“Do we not like her? Whoa. Hey, you better be careful. I don’t know if you may tell who you’re talking to right now.” Stewart started defensively.
However, after the podcast host explained her question and argued that Bella was “a little desperate” to turn into a vampire to be with Edward, Kristen Stewart realized the statement. That’s when the actress noted one particular issue in the plot that made her concerned in retrospect.

“He was trying to sort of control whether or not she made choices for herself. I would’ve broken up with him immediately.”
Addressing how back then Bella tried to overpower Edward’s controlling nature by being desperate to be a vampire, Kristen Stewart noted that if it was in the present date, she would have never agreed with this plot. Instead, the actress offered a different perspective where, if Edward had tried controlling her decisions, she would have dumped him.
“I mean if I was like, ‘Hey, I want to try that,’ and he was like, ‘No, this is just for me,’ I would be like, ‘Well, this is also just for me. My whole life. Without you,’… I get the sort of protection thing, but you gotta let a girl make her own choices.”
Throughout her press tours, Kristen Stewart spoke a lot about her catapultingTwilightrole and noted being criticized for her moody screen acting. Explaining the reason behind it, Stewart stressed that brooding and being naive and clumsy is what kept her interpretation of Bella true to the book series. Otherwise, given the option, the actress would have never agreed to the plot where Edward made decisions about Bella’s life, on behalf of her.
TheTwilightmovies are available on Peacock.
