Kristen Stewart accepted Princess Diana role before reading the script
The Twilight actor, who plays Princess Diana in Spencer, hit agree without even reading. Who does that?
She may be one of the biggest actors of her generation, but Kristen Stewart is also just like us. Stewart received a large amount of text, and rather than spend the time reading the script for Spencer, she just said, “fuck it,” and hit agree like it was an Apple user agreement or something. Well, maybe not exactly like that. According to IndieWire, the Twilight star was so eager to work on director Pablo Larraín’s Princess Diana “tone poem” that she didn’t even read the script before accepting the role of Princess Di.
“He called me on the phone,” Stewart said during a broadcast conversation at the Toronto Film Festival. “At first I hadn’t read the script yet, and he proposed this idea and said he was doing this sort of weird tone poem about Diana, and asked whether or not I would be interested in tackling the subject at all, before he sent the script. Kind of without thinking, very irresponsibly, I said ‘Yes, absolutely.’”
