Am Liking Kristen Stewart on this June Cover of Vanity Fair Magazine

The Twilight  and recently Snow White and the Huntsman star opens up about the public’s misguided perception of her, smoking pot and being bullied at school. 

On not taking perfect pictures: “I have been criticized a lot for not looking perfect in every photograph. I get some serious shit about it. I’m not embarrassed about it. I’m proud of it. If I took perfect pictures all the time, the people standing in the room with me, or on the carpet, would think, What an actress! What a faker! That thought embarrasses me so much that I look like sh-t in half my photos, and I don’t give a f–k. What matters to me is that the people in the room leave and say, ‘She was cool. She had a good time. She was honest.’ I don’t care about the voracious, starving sh-t eaters who want to turn truth into shit. Not that you can say that in Vanity Fair!”

On how Twilight changed her life, Stewart divulges, “You can Google my name and one of the first things that comes up is images of me sitting on my front porch smoking a pipe with my ex-boyfriend and my dog. It was [taken] the day the movie came out. I was no one. I was a kid. I had just turned 18.” “In [the tabloids] the next day it was like I was a delinquent slimy idiot, whereas I’m kind of a weirdo, creative Valley Girl who smokes pot. Big deal. But that changed my daily life instantly. I didn’t go out in my underwear anymore,” she admits.

On being made fun of as a child: “Look at a picture of me before I was 15. I am a boy. I wore my brother’s clothes, dude! Not like I cared that much, but I remember being made fun of because I wasn’t wearing Juicy jeans. I didn’t even think about it. I wore my gym clothes. But it’s not like I didn’t care that they made fun of me. It really bothered me. I remember this girl in sixth grade looked at me in gym and was like, ‘Oh my God! That’s disgusting—you don’t shave your legs!’”

In an accompanying behind the scenes video from the gorgeous shoot she says that “doing a photoshoot that has a story is so much easier,” She also poses with Karl Lagerfeld at one point and says of the experience, “It was the first time I had an actual conversation with him. He’s incredibly sweet. It felt like such an important moment in my life. It was very cool.” Click to watch the video  below and see more images from the shoot.
