Kristen Stewart recently revealed the difficulties she faced while shooting a pivotal s** scene in “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 1” alongside co-star Robert Pattinson.
Contrary to what fans might expect, Stewart described the experience as nothing short of “agony.”
In a candid conversation with Harper’s Bazaar UK, Stewart shared that portraying Bella Swan and Edward Cullen’s intimate moment was a daunting task.
The pressure to convey a transcendent and otherworldly connection on screen created immense expectations that proved challenging to meet.
Stewart expressed her desire for the scene to be exceptional but found the process to be emotionally taxing.
Filming such scenes is often far from glamorous, as Stewart acknowledged.
The presence of a limited crew observing the actors simulate intimacy, combined with the intrusive gaze of numerous cameras and bright lights, contributes to an uncomfortable atmosphere.
The added burden of living up to the heightened anticipation surrounding the characters’ relationship only amplified the strain on Stewart and Pattinson during filming.
While Stewart admitted to disliking contrived s** scenes, emphasizing her distaste for scenarios that feel forced or artificial, she did not generalize her aversion to all intimate portrayals.
Her critique centered on the lack of authenticity in such depictions, highlighting the discomfort that arises when scenes fail to resonate with genuine emotion.
Beyond discussing her on-screen challenges, Stewart addressed broader issues prevalent in the film industry, particularly regarding sexism.
She candidly remarked on the additional hurdles women face in having their voices heard, denouncing the pervasive sexism within Hollywood
