Kristen Stewart is hoping to see more accurate portrayals of coming-of-age stories from the perspective of women. To do her part, the 28-year-old actress revealed she is writing a movie that will address the lack of “physical honesty of actual female experience” in films.
Stewart was recently featured in Mastermind magazine, where she also discussed her views on how Hollywood depicts coming-of-age stories from the perspective of a woman. Overall, the actress believes there is still room for improvement.
“In every coming of age story we see about a young girl, even if it’s the truest, most sincere thing, what’s lacking is the physical honesty of actual female experience and the way we discover our bodies,” Stewart said (via PEOPLE). “It’s like we’re scared of using certain words.”
As mentioned, Stewart hopes to make a change in this aspect by writing a movie. She revealed that what she is currently working on will have lines and scenes that some people might not be comfortable to hear or see. However, the actress thinks “it’s the perfect time” to have these kinds of movies.
“There’s nothing dirty about it, but I’m definitely going to be vulgar,” Stewart further explained. “And I’m definitely going to be completely unabashedly open about the fact that we’re entirely sexual beings.”
Stewart has been popularly known after getting the role of Bella Swan in the blockbuster hit movie series “Twilight.” After a few years on set, she got close and eventually became girlfriend to her co-star Robert Pattinson, who played the handsome vampire Edward Cullen. However, they broke after about two years after Stewart was involved with “Snow White and the Huntsman” director Rupert Sanders.
After ending their relationship on such a bad note, fans likely thought Stewart and Pattinson would never be casual friends. However, just last June, the two were reportedly “friendly” to one another in a surprise reunion at Lily-Rose Depp’s birthday party. Witnesses at the event told E! News that they chatted for a few minutes and looked like they were on “good terms.”
