Kristen Stewart, an actress who strongly appealed her talent in the movie "Panic Room" (2002) that appeared at the tender age of 12, and established a solid position in the "Twilight" series. Turning 32 this year, in her latest film she plays Princess Diana, the British princess still loved around the world 25 years after her death. We asked Kristen, who also received her first Academy Award nomination for Best Actress for this film, to talk about her Princess Diana and herself.
“The director had no hesitation in casting me. actress Kristen Stewart. She plays her lead role, Princess Diana, in the movie Spencer's Diana's Determination, which opens in Japan in October.
At the age of 20, Princess Diana married Prince Charles (then, the current King Charles III) of the British royal family, and instantly captivated people around the world. She raised two sons and devoted herself to humanitarian work until she died in a car accident at the young age of 36. The film follows the events of three tumultuous days during her Christmas vacation in 1991 when she makes a decision that will change her life for the rest of her life.
Kristen perfectly portrayed Princess Diana, who is isolated in the British royal family, which is bound by tradition and formality, and deepens the darkness of loneliness. Kristen, who usually says she doesn't spend a lot of time developing a role, this time she took dialect lessons and mastered her British accent with precision. In the play, Kristen recreated the real Princess Diana's gestures, her eyes, and her accent, making those around her groan.
“When I watched the video of Princess Diana speaking over and over again, and listened carefully over and over again, one of her words gave me goosebumps, and it really affected me. I was only seven years old when Princess Diana died, and I remember the flowers in front of Buckingham Palace and the melancholy atmosphere, but other than that, I didn't know much."
Kristen rose to the limelight in 2002 with the movie "Panic Room" co-starring with Jodie Foster as a child actress, and later became a global star as the heroine in the "Twilight" series. Even as she has honed her acting skills since she was young, she has appeared in numerous productions, but she says her appearance in this production was a challenge.
When asked if I was scared to play Princess Diana, the answer was yes. But as an actor, I didn't want to be shy. I've been an actor for many years, and I wanted to challenge myself to see if it was possible to reach the top. Isn't it?"
Kristen's great challenge came to fruition in this work, and she was nominated for Best Actress at the 94th Academy Awards for her excellent acting ability.
“I feel like I was peeling off a layer of skin every day during the filming of this movie. I was able to have
Will Kristen, who has become a world-famous actress in her teens, have a part of herself with Princess Diana, who was being chased by a large number of paparazzi day after day?
“There was a time when I felt out of control. I had to be seen in public with my face, and I didn't even have the right to privacy, which is different from why I was being photographed."
Kristen says she's saddened not only by the invasion of her privacy, but also by the fact that so few people know who Princess Diana really is. She herself, although she has long been the subject of media scrutiny, she says it always has.
“I can express myself however I want, and criticism and praise are all within my control. I can freely tell you that I am there!”
Kristen, who has such a tough mind, has also announced that she is bisexual. In 2021, she also announced her engagement to her partner of three years, screenwriter Dylan Meyer.
I've always wanted kids before I got into this movie and I'm so happy I got to play the mother of Prince William and Prince Harry. Princess Diana's strongest part was being a mother. In contrast to the volatility of various parts of her life, nothing shook the fact that she was the mother of two loving sons."
Kristen Stewart, who has decided to get married and wants to become a mother, is likely to make even greater strides in the future.
