Kristen Stewart – Life After Twilight Success

Many people are only familiar with Kristen Stewart from when she starred in Twilight long ago. But that’s like judging someone for their most embarrassing university years. Twilight was at the very beginning of Kristen Stewart’s film career, and since then, she’s starred in plenty of highly rated movies, proving her chops as a serious actress and member of the LGBT+ community.

Although the franchise launched them to fame and earned them a pretty penny ($12.5 million for each movie in the series, to be exact), Kristen and her ex Robert Pattinson are fed up of their past being discussed. Kristen has thrown some shade at the Twilight franchise, it boosted her up to the multi-faceted talent that she is today, and for that, we’re grateful.

From queen of angst to underdog

After the role of Bella Swan, Kristen blossomed from moody, never-smiling teen to an empowered woman, discovering her identity every step along the way. At first, people were on the fence about Stewart’s lack of on-screen emotion, and she admitted to having panic attacks at the time. However, the Bella Swan fans had her back through all the judgement and misunderstood actions, which helped her grow as a woman.
