The 24-year-old, who has a reputation as one of the most miserable-looking celebs in Hollywood, has revealed why she refuses to turn that famed frown upside down.
Opening up to Elle Magazine, the Twilight star says she will never smile for the paparazzi. And here’s why.
“The day the movie (Twilight) came out there was a picture of me in the New York Post, I think. I was sitting on my front porch, smoking a pipe with my ex-boyfriend and dog. And I was like, ‘Oh shit, well, I have to be aware of that,” she said.
Of that incident, K-Stew said she now feels as though she needs to keep up her tough girl image, while at the same time, admitting she’s in a situation where she can’t please people all the time.
“Now I feel like if I smiled for a paparazzi photo – not that I ever would – that’s exactly what people would be desecrating me for. They’d be like, ‘Now you’re going to give it up, now you’re a sell-out’ like, okay. What do you want? What would you like?”
The fashion-forward actress, who features on the September front cover of the magazine, went on to discuss her sudden fame and not having a career plan.
“Never at any point have I sat down and plotted how I should proceed from here on,” she said.
“As soon as you start thinking about your career as a trajectory – like, as if you’re going to miss out on some wave or momentum – then you’re never doing anything for yourself anyway.
“Then you’re truly, actually, specifically working for the public. You’re turning yourself into a bag of chips.”
