Kristen Stewart – Exclusive Interview – ‘Personal Shopper’

I sincerely like the new Kristen Stewart. Years ago, when interviewing her for the first Twilight, I encountered a gruff, surly, impolite, uncooperative teenager. Which I chalked down to simply being a teenager. But as the saga franchise and its gargantuan success exploded, Stewart’s anti-social behaviour got worse and worse.

The more the press and paparazzi hounded her and on-screen love, Robert Pattinson, the more she withdrew into herself. And press engagements were a notoriously fraught affair for all involved.

But speaking today to promote her new movie, Personal Shopper, there’s actual niceties. And small talk.
