Turns out Kristen Stewart isn’t a fan of all of her movies. Let’s rephrase that – the 31-year-old actress isn’t a fan of *most* of her movies, and we don’t know what to do with this information! We all have jobs we would rather forget, so we guess the same goes for Hollywood actresses too, as the former Twilight actress has sensationally revealed that there are only five movies in her entire career that she is actually proud of. And speaking of Twilight, the movie franchise adapted from Stephenie Meyer’s books sadly isn’t on her list.
“I’ve probably made five really good films out of 45 or 50 films,” the actress, who is currently promoting her movie Spencer, in which she plays the role of the late Princess Diana, said in an interview with The Sunday Times. “Ones that I go, ‘Wow, that person made a top-to-bottom beautiful piece of work!'”
The Happiest Season star mentioned that two of her five favorites were Clouds of Sils Maria, the 2014 psychological drama, as well as the 2016 supernatural psychological thriller, Personal Shopper, which we think are both excellent choices. We're not surprised to hear that she is a huge fan of the former film, as she became the first American female actor to win a César for her stunning portrayal of Valentine. Both of her favorites, as it happens, are directed by Olivier Assayas which probably has something to do with it. "I love Assayas’ movies," she continued. "I’d have to look at my credit list, but they are few and far between," she added, in reference to the films she regarded as "really good."
Kristen's previous co-stars, as well as the directors and the rest of the crew on the films she worked on in the past shouldn’t get too disheartened though, as the actress tried to defend her comments by saying that she didn’t necessarily hate films or her experience making them, but rather, she didn’t have as much "fun" as she wanted to. (Hmm, is that any better? We don’t think we would want to hear that someone didn’t have fun while making one of our films, but maybe that’s just us!)
"That doesn’t mean I regret the experience of making them. I’ve only regretted saying yes to a couple of films, and not because of the result, but because it wasn’t fun," Stewart continued. "The worst is when you’re in the middle of something and know that not only is it probably going to be a bad movie, but we’re all bracing until the end."
The Charlie's Angels actress even likened making a bad movie to dating someone you don't like but not being able to break up. However, sadly for us, she didn’t actually name any names when it came to the actual movies she regretted making. But the fact that she only mentioned two movies by name when asked which ones she actually liked, we think we can work them out! "No! I’m not a mean person — I’m not going to call people out in public," she said, when asked by the publication to name some of the movies she regretted. "But it’s like starting to date someone and going, 'Whoa! I don’t know what we’re doing!' But when you’re in the middle of a movie, you can’t just break up."
While we haven’t seen every single one of K-Stew's movies (unless watching the entire Twilight franchise several hundred times over the years counts?) we think she should have given herself and her co-stars a little more credit and added a few more to her list of favorites. However, we have a feeling that Spencer – which is out on November 5th – just might make the list!
