The Stunning Transformation Of Kristen Stewart

Twilight was a major milestone for Kristen Stewart: Over the course of four years, the series' five movies culminated in 2012 with The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2. Appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2016, Stewart admitted that while she was very invested in the series, "Something personal became not the most personal thing, which is awesome because to share that is great, but at the same time I was 17 or 18 when it all kind of went down, and that's the most uncomfortable, terrible, weird [time]" (via Us Weekly). Still, she's remained grateful for the experience, adding, "It kind of forced me to stand at attention in this way."

Reminiscing about her time on set, Stewart joked about her "really uncomfortable hair extensions" and compared the feeling to "looking at a college yearbook." The actress continued, "I don't jump right back into those memories, but as soon as you see a picture you're just, 'Oh, god, it's like yesterday.'" Although she admitted to finding the attention difficult, Stewart knew she had to grow as a person, telling Harper's Bazaar in 2019, "Every day I get older, life gets easier."
