Being a star comes with a price: Kristen Stewart

The actor talks about the downside of being famous.

NEW DELHI: Kristen Stewart was a teenager when she got her big break in 2008 with the Twilight movie series. Though the film catapulted her to instant fame, the Hollywood actor says stardom has invaded her private life, which can be searched on Google all the time.

“Being a star means paying a huge price for your freedom,” Stewart told IANS in an email interview. “I don’t like to share my personal life, but now that I am a celebrity, so much of my life is Googled.”

Before being globally recognised as Bella from the Twilight series, Stewart worked in films like The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas, Panic Room, Undertow, and  In to the Wild. The Twilight series is based on four books written by Stephenie Meyer. The final installment of the Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 is to be released on November 23.

After the release, Stewart plans to take some time off and relax. “I don’t have anything in mind. I am happy that the movie is finally over,” she said. “If director Bill Condon had his way, he would continue wielding the megaphone for the vampire tale even if there were no books left to adapt for the big screen.” However, Stewart feels fortunate that she met her soul mate Robert Pattinson, who was her co-star on the sets of the Twilight series.

Stewart says she is open to playing the role of Bella again. “It’s mine. I know both Bella and Edward very well,” Stewart said. “I understand them so well that it would be easier for me to play Bella’s character again. I would love to do it, but may be after some time.”
