Twilight babe Kristen Stewart is hitting back at everyone who thought she was going to confine herself to a single label growing up – and had plenty of X-rated quips up her sleeve
Kristen Stewart had the perfect response to those “trying to ruin her life” – and it was pretty NSFW.
The Twilight star opened up to Variety about being labelled as a “queer kid”, trying to convince the press it was okay to refer to her partner at the time as her girlfriend rather than “gal pal”. She told the publication: “It wasn’t even like I was hiding.
“I was so openly out with my girlfriend for years at that point. I’m like, ‘I’m a pretty knowable person.’” But for so long, Kristen said she was just trying to figure herself out.

She confessed: “For so long, I was like, ‘Why are you trying to skewer me? Why are you trying to ruin my life? I’m a kid, and I don’t really know myself well enough yet’. The idea of people going, ‘I knew that you were a little queer kid forever.’ I’m like, ‘Oh, yeah? Well, you should honestly have seen me f*** my first boyfriend.’”
Kristen has had plenty of high-profile romances before meeting her screenwriter fiancée Dylan Meyer. She famously dated her Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson from 2009 until 2013, before she was snapped kissing director Rupert Sanders, and they called it quits. She came out as bisexual in 2017.
But even back then there were hints; Stewart claims Twilight is “such a gay movie”, joking of author Stephenie Meyer’s Mormon religion: “It’s all about oppression, about wanting what’s going to destroy you. That’s a very Gothic, gay inclination that I love.”
She and Pattinson had to get raunchy for the franchise, which she admitted was “agony” to film. She told Harper’s Bazaar: “On Twilight we had to do the most epic sex scene of all time. It had to be transcendent and otherworldly, inhuman, better sex than you can possibly ever imagine.
“And we were like, ‘How do we live up to that?’ It was agony. Which sucks, because I wanted it to be so good.”
By Breaking Dawn Part Two, the sex was “a lot wilder”, according to Robert. He told The Sun: “We wanted to do something different, we had to figure ways to make it sexy even though it’s supposed to be 12A. The idea was for us to have the greatest vampire sex ever.
“It’s awkward doing close-ups in front of a big crew with the camera operator in your face and you’re supposed to show ultimate ecstasy. Kristen and I would start to laugh and the cameraman was laughing too.”
Now the 33-year-old is heading up lesbian love story Love Lies Bleeding. She plays butch gym manager Lou, who meets muscular jock Jackie, played by Katie O’Brien. And Kristen “got turned on” by filming some of the hornier love scenes in the film.
She told Variety: “It was really sexy, and I don’t mean from an outsider’s perspective: I felt turned on by it, and it was cool to have people witness that.” She promised that one bathroom romp is “going to shock people”.
Kristen insists that the characters “don’t take their clothes off” as all you see is “a head going down under” – but she’s so sick of “mechanical” sex scenes on film that her new movie is set to do something totally different.
