“Let girls make their own choices” Kristen Stewart would never have dated Edward from Twilight

On screen, it is a story of passion, undying devotion and sacrifice. In real life, it’s pretty toxic. Queer icon now 33 years old, Kristen Stewart enjoyed imagining herself in the role of Bella, of which she played the role between 2008 and 2012. She then revealed that she would never have made the same choices as her heroine in she.

“You have to let a girl make her own choices.”

If Kristen Stewart herself were the protagonist of the films Dusk, she probably wouldn’t have stayed with Edward Cullen (played by darling Robert Pattinson) for long.

I don’t know if you realize who you’re talking to right now. » before more seriously discussing the gender dynamics between Edward and Bella, which were never addressed in the film. Speaking about Edward’s overprotective side, Kristen Stewart explained:

“I kind of understand the protection thing, but you have to let a girl make her own choices. She was somehow trying to control whether she made choices for herself. If it were me, I would have dumped him immediately.

Speaking about her transformation into a vampire, Kristen Stewart explained that if Edward had continued to forbid her from turning into a vampire, she would have transformed and left him:

“I mean, if I said to him, ‘Hey, I want to try it,’ and he said, ‘No, it’s just for me,’ I’d say, ‘Well, it’s just for me, too.’ All my life. Without you. »
