‘Spencer’ star Kristen Stewart is done hiding her life

Associated Press  

NEW YORK — Kristen Stewart has been talking about playing Princess Diana in the new film “Spencer” almost daily for over two months. “Imagine at 19 years old like you’re already getting married and having a baby and being asked to fulfill a fantasy that everyone wants to be real, but you can see very clearly, is not real,” Stewart said. “This person, this character that we’re thinking about in her internal experience feels as though Anne Boleyn is sitting at that table and it’s so much more fun and honest to have her there,” Stewart said. “But some of my favorite movies of all time have like, very low Rotten Tomato percentages and didn’t get an Academy Award.” And in the midst of all this reflection on fame and scrutiny and Diana and herself, Stewart last week revealed that she and her girlfriend of two years are engaged.

Director Pablo Larraín’s “Spencer,” about Princess Diana, is meant “to find certain elements of humanity that we can all relate to,” he says.
