(PART 1 - FRENCH ELLE MAG INTERVIEW)

- Kristen Stewart: The actress on the road to glory -

The Twilight heroine didn't let people suck the blood out of her. Kristen Stewart is "On The Road" to glory, the new screen adaptation of the masterpiece by Kerouac that will be presented at Cannes. We me her.

• Kristen Stewart changed a lot

Kristen Stewart changed a lot. Since she appeared to the (very) huge public, in 2008, as unsuspicious Bella Swan in the first movie from the "Twilight Saga" series. One, like the other, went a long way. The character discovered the joys of sex (We had to wait for the 4th movie, we imagine it was faster for Kristen), She lived fully her love for a vampire (Stewart can no longer deny her real life relationship with Robert Pattinson, her better half on screen), & went through loneliness & wickedness. As for the actress herself, she had her transition to adulthood under the spotlight. She was 18 during the first movie. Now, she's 22, still appears to be a teenager, and kept in her voice that tone of cool distrust that clashes within a Hollwood densely populated by robotic pin-ups, and today, she has that look in her eyes, of someone that is determined, self-willed. But we see something surprising as well, someone sexy. During our photoshoot in the mountains of Topanga Canyon overlooking the beaches of Malibu, the actress is a ease & strikes a pose with that detached & wild look that is her trademark. A break, while we wait for the sun to set, & we we settle down with a few cigarettes to talk about the movie that promises to be a turning point in her career. She knows it and she talks about it with passion; "One The Road" is the role of her - young - life. "When Walter Salles chose me to play Marylou," she remembers, "I was 16. It was my favorite book, the role that I couldn't pass up." Brought up in Los Angeles by a father who is a TV Producer & mother who is a screen writer, Kristen Stewart "grew up on set". "I was always roaming around, and I was dreaming for a job that would allow me to be part of the process. It led me to be an actress, totally by accient. It's on the job while working with amazing directors that I learned to like it." She is 11 when David Fincher lets her play Jodie Foster's young daughter in "Panic Room", she's is 17 when Sean Penn gives her a small role in "Into The Wild". She was an actress for so many years before she became a star, and the transition was not easy. "The first few times I was recognized in the street, it was a complete surprise," she says. "It may sound naive, but until "Twilight," the 'celebrity aspect' of the job had completely escaped me. I suddenly found myself facing this unhealthy interest that relates more to the "pop culture" than to movies; people come to ask you for a picture or an autograph because they saw you on the cover of a gossip magazing, but they have no idea what movies you were you were in. This is disturbing. "
