Kristen Stewart is the best – I know this, you know this… It’s common knowledge. But when MTV News’ Josh Horowitz talked to Stewart for his Happy Sad Confused podcast to help promote the currently in theaters “Camp X-Ray,” she let us in on a few personal facts that took our love for her to impossibly new heights; and we learned a few things about her we never knew before.
1. Her parents are her idols
“I mean my first step into the business was solely because I idolized my parents,” said Stewart. “I thought it was so cool that they went to work and came home with so many stories and lived such rich lives that…you know, not everyone’s parents can say that they LOVE their job the way that my parents did.”
2. Her first taste of acting was being an extra in the “The Flintstones”!
“My mom worked with a director named Brian Lavant for a number of years who did kid’s movies. I was an extra in ‘The Flintstones’.”
3. She’s dying to rock dreads
“I still dream of maybe one day, being able to pull [dreads] off,” said Stewart, “It would be like ‘Spring Breakers’.”
4. She adores Japan.
“It’s one of my favorite places in the world. I LOVE Japan. I love the lifestyle, I love the people. I’ve never encountered anyone that I had a strange, uncomfortable, disrespectful thing with. They just really know how to live! I mean they’ve got it all figured out there.”
5. Her celebrity crush? Emma Stone.
“Emma Stone blew me away! When she went on Fallon and did that lip synching thing?! I watch pretty much all of them now on YouTube. Honestly, I bow to her now! I’ve always been a big fan. I think she’s hilarious. I could never! There is just no f–king way in hell.”
6. She finds inspiration in poetry.
“I write a lot of poetry,” said Stewart, “I actually read one in ‘Equals’ and it was such a vulnerable moment for me.”
7. Besides poetry, she writes short stories.
“I wrote my short finally. It was just this little thing that I wanted to do.”
8. She’s not sure she could pull an Emma Watson in front of the UN.
“I would love to spearhead projects and I would love to fund projects. I would never stand up in front of the UN.”
9. Her sights weren’t always set on acting.
“When I was in kindergarten I wanted to be a rock star and then when I turned 9 or 10 I wanted to be an actor.”
