The saga, which went on to gross over $3 billion worldwide, catapulted the movie’s stars onto another level of fame, which Kristen reflects on with adoration, even now.
“It was very naive,” she said, “in the best way.” Describing filming the series as “college,” as she was tutored during film shoots, the actress also noted how interesting it was to see the perception others had of her based off of the famous role.
“Like, how fun for people to think they know you,” she said. “Did you think I was going to do Twilight forever?,” she added rhetorically. “Is that how you saw me?”
Kristen, who has more than 40 films under her belt and is already garnering Oscar buzz for her role in Spencer, continued, “If that’s how you saw me, then you really set me up for success, because I can do way more than that.”
