If you watched the BAFTAs, you'll know that KStew's weirdly shy persona is in evidence off-screen as well as on. But why? She's star of Hollywood hit movies and snogging none other than RPatz – we'd be feeling pretty confident if we were her. She explained what was going through her mind as she accepted her award, as well as how it feels to be a role model and her love of London in an interview with The Independent. "Before the first Twilight movie in 2008, I was a much more open person," says Kristen. "Now I spend a lot of time looking at the floor in public in an attempt not to get noticed. I won the Orange Rising Star Award at the BAFTAs last week. As I stood on stage at the Royal Opera House, I felt overwhelmed – in front of all these industry people, whom I don't just admire, but who are the foundation of what I want to do. Perhaps it's similar to how a Twilight fan feels on seeing me in person."
"I've been asked a million times in interviews about being a role model," she continues. "I'm aware that people look up to me, but I am myself for myself and not for anybody else. I choose my work impulsively. I've been walking around London in a hoody these last few days looking at all the old buildings. It's all fine until a diehard fan notices your sneakers. But I can always see a crowd and turn around and walk the other way. In terms of history, we have nothing in LA. It's nicer here because there's a sense that I'm a real person. Perhaps I'm more of a novelty. In LA I tend to get people who gawk at me like I'm an animal, take pictures and scream things at me. There's no way of being open in public anymore. There's a five-minute exchange every 30 seconds that prevents me from even buying a loaf of bread at the grocery store."
Aw, poor Lamb. How do you feel about Kristen? Is she too awkward? Should she loosen up and enjoy her success while it's here? Or is her moaning justified? Comments please!
