Kristen Stewart has been talking about how heartbreak helped her prepare for her new movie. The actress had just come out of a high-profile relationship with Robert Pattinson when she filmed Equals, and coincidentally her co-star Nicholas Hoult had just broken up with Jennifer Lawrence.
“It was incredibly painful,” said Kristen, speaking in Toronto. “Ugh, f***ing kill me. It was a really good time for both of us to make this movie. Not all of my friends have been through what I’ve been through, or what some people have tasted at a relatively-speaking young age, and we were not expected to do anything. Everything that we did was explorative, and a meditation on what we already knew.”
“We all felt akin by how much we’ve been through, and to utilize that is so scary,” she continued. “And to acknowledge it, reassess, and jump back into it? Usually you want to move on. But at least we could use some of that for some good.”
The actress was effusive on the subject but had us a little confused at times.
“This movie was a meditation on firsts, and a meditation on maintaining, and a meditation on the ebbs and flows of what it’s like to love someone-your feelings versus your ideals, the bursting of bubbles, the shattering of dreams you thought were possible, and what you have to contend with as things get more realistic.”
“Relationships,” she adds, “you just never f***ing know.”
