Kristen Stewart Fails At Interview Challenge



These days, our knowledge of celebrities too often originates with paparazzi images and snarky quotes by anonymous "insiders." After a while, it's easy to forget that stars are real people. That's why HuffPost Celebrity decided to launch its all-new #nofilter quick-fire question and answer series. Because how well do you know someone until they've shared their guiltiest pleasures?

It's been quite a year for Kristen Stewart. Leaving aside her tumultuous off-screen existence, she put a cap on one blockbuster franchise (in all, the five "Twilight" movies made more than $1.3 billion at the box office), kicked off another ("Snow White and the Huntsman" took in a healthy $155 million) and renewed her indie-movie cred card with a daring performance in Walter Salles' "On the Road," which debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival and opens in limited release on December 21. HuffPost recently talked to Stewart about "On the Road" -- and persuaded her to answer some #nofilter questions while we had her attention.

What's your guiltiest pleasure?
Hmm. I take these things very seriously. Whenever anyone's like, "Oh, we're just gonna do a fun quick-fire-question thing." My guiltiest pleasure? Shit. God. Dude, what's yours?

Oh, God, I probably wouldn't want to say, now that I think about it.
See?



Have you ever stolen anything?
Actually, no. I stole a pack of gum when I was younger and literally turned right around and gave it back. And he was such an asshole to me. I was like, "I should have just walked. I am being a good person." And he literally chastised me for 15 minutes. I was like, "Why did I even give this back to him?"

If failure weren't an option, what's one thing you would do?
Oh, god. God. That is too -- dude, these are not quick-fire questions. They're heavy questions.

What shows are on your DVR?
I actually don't watch TV.

Do you ever text in the movie theater?
Um, I don't typically sit in a movie theater.

If you could ask Kim Kardashian one question, what would it be?
Um, wow. I have no idea.

What a stimulating interview

Yeah, the one about the guiltiest pleasure was really a no-brainer.
door 20th-Dec-2012 11:44 pm (UTC)
She's too real to feel guilty about any of her pleasures. Not that YOU deserve to know that, you faker.
blrocks 20th-Dec-2012 07:48 pm (UTC)
My first thought when I read that title was "Big Fucking Surprise".
thelovehater 20th-Dec-2012 07:48 pm (UTC)
She makes it very hard to like her.
harborafternoon 20th-Dec-2012 08:14 pm (UTC)
especially since her answers make it clear why she has no perspective- she chooses not to by avoiding t.v. and movies and any sort of self-reflection lol.

it's sad that she doesn't know herself. or maybe she's the luckiest fuck in the world IDK
anna_karenina_x 20th-Dec-2012 08:27 pm (UTC)
I think you can have a pretty healthy perspective on life without watching a lot of TV or sitting in movie theaters
door 20th-Dec-2012 11:46 pm (UTC)
I think she's just full of shit.

jeveuxmacaron 20th-Dec-2012 10:37 pm (UTC)
no. the story should have been changed to snow white having her as a stepsister and she should have won over snow white tbh.
deftonedpiano 20th-Dec-2012 07:50 pm (UTC)
I hate when the extent of an "article" is just a verbatim interview. And these questions suck. Why not, I don't know, use the interview to flesh out what you're writing?

JOURNALISM!

(that being said, she's not doing too hot in this either, but I don't think it's 100% her fault)
tadashee 20th-Dec-2012 08:36 pm (UTC)
The no filters are always like this though. They aren't really interviews in my opinion.
tadashee 20th-Dec-2012 08:37 pm (UTC)
Also I've really enjoyed some of the no filters from huffpo. The super annoying girl from the OC did one and she was pretty funny.
hey_jealousy 21st-Dec-2012 08:33 am (UTC)
you'll have to be more specific... anna?
rinmonsterer 20th-Dec-2012 08:40 pm (UTC)
This. I probably would've given answers just as dumb. What are those questions even?
xliquidskiesx 20th-Dec-2012 10:15 pm (UTC)
I think the introduction from Huffpo pretty much states that this isn't a regular interview, rather a series of quick-fire question and answer

If you have a look at the other #nofilter entries, I think the point is that many celebs get asked the same random, inane questions.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/nofilter
not all questions are identically all the time but e.g. the guilty pleasure one gets asked every time as far as I know and surprise, surprise the other celebs gave answers?
the DVR and "have you stolen anything" question are asked a lot too. imo some celebs so far have given funny answers.

and generally: quick-fire round of questions are most of the time inane, random, unrelated questions?

poisoned_summer 20th-Dec-2012 07:50 pm (UTC)
pretty sure she just plays up the whole awkward thing now to seem more ~real

like how hard is it to say 'ice cream' or something..

also lmfao

Actually, no. I stole a pack of gum when I was younger and literally turned right around and gave it back. And he was such an asshole to me. I was like, "I should have just walked. I am being a good person." And he literally chastised me for 15 minutes. I was like, "Why did I even give this back to him?"


this explains her entitled attitude to everything perfectly. does something shitty = gets mad when someone calls her out on it

It's literally wrong.
furato 21st-Dec-2012 01:22 am (UTC)
In the kind of situation she described it could actually be true though.

Narcissistic brat tbh.
liliana_ 20th-Dec-2012 08:02 pm (UTC)
lol, was just going to say. Story of her life, right there.
christoph 20th-Dec-2012 08:02 pm (UTC)
ikr does she expect the store owner to give her a pat on the back or a cookie for almost stealing something?
nekokonneko 20th-Dec-2012 08:04 pm (UTC)
My eyebrows are sitting in my hairline right now because really? really? I could forgive a little kid being a brat like this so long as they learned from the incident, but she is a grown ass adult who should not be thinking like this. It really does explain alot about her
daddyissues 20th-Dec-2012 08:21 pm (UTC)
but it was just a stupid pack of gum and i imagine she was only a kid, so i sympathise with her for that

/still bitter about getting told off by a shop owner for accidentally eating a penny sweet before i'd paid >:(
nationalboner 20th-Dec-2012 08:38 pm (UTC)
Ugh, exactly.

You tried to steal something, you cunt. You deserved to get bitched at for it.
joaniemaloney 20th-Dec-2012 08:45 pm (UTC)
srsly. yeah I wouldn't enjoy being scolded but I'd at least get it bc I did steal something.
hallois 20th-Dec-2012 08:53 pm (UTC)
she's such an asshole
xdecadentx 20th-Dec-2012 09:49 pm (UTC)
That answer just kept getting worse and worse.
sun_set_blvd 20th-Dec-2012 09:59 pm (UTC)
So true. This self-righteous asshole.
jeveuxmacaron 20th-Dec-2012 10:39 pm (UTC)
lol he probably yelled at her for taking it after she asked for it for free as a gift for her honesty or something
for_serious13 21st-Dec-2012 12:12 am (UTC)
she does.
calinewarkwc69 20th-Dec-2012 07:50 pm (UTC)
I don't want to be the person who defends K. Stew, but really? What type of questions were those?
oracularist 20th-Dec-2012 07:52 pm (UTC)
Celebs are asked questions like these all the time
calinewarkwc69 20th-Dec-2012 08:48 pm (UTC)
I'm not trying to say they're bad questions- it's just like... if I was having a quick-fire round of questions with her, I would want to make them something that I think she is going to answer decently- like what's your favorite strand of weed or how many times a week do you shower?

If you're going to be a journalist, you want to have questions that somehow relate to your subject- I don't think anyone is stupid enough to think that 1) KStew goes to any movies that don't involve red carpets 2) She would ever have something to say to Kim K. and 3) we all know her guilty pleasure is older married man director dick.
soul_amazinn 20th-Dec-2012 07:55 pm (UTC)
It's not the questions. It's the way she answer's them.
beck_rocks 20th-Dec-2012 07:58 pm (UTC)
anyone could answer those questions, they're so simple
xliquidskiesx 20th-Dec-2012 08:02 pm (UTC)
lol of course it's the questions....

they aren't that unusual though. especially the one about the guilty pleasure.
sodenoshirayuki 20th-Dec-2012 08:04 pm (UTC)
persuaded her to answer some #nofilter questions while we had her attention.

her PR team (or she) gave the OK. they could have said no obviously
fred2265 20th-Dec-2012 08:29 pm (UTC)
inane questions are routine and she should be able to do better..
sowhat_whocares 20th-Dec-2012 08:31 pm (UTC)
simply questions like these usually give the most interesting answers, actually.
tadashee 20th-Dec-2012 08:39 pm (UTC)
It's supposed to be like a "lightning round". Some of the celebs that have done it, have had some really funny or honest answers. I kind of like it.
amor143x 20th-Dec-2012 08:46 pm (UTC)
what's wrong with the questions tho? it's not like they asked her why she cheated on her bf.
lovepollution 20th-Dec-2012 09:06 pm (UTC)
They're just ~fun light-hearted interview questions, if anything you'd think they'd be a nice break from the same stuff she's constantly asked. But I guess being a srs actress she doesn't think of such frivolous things.
writeontime 20th-Dec-2012 09:57 pm (UTC)
It's really not that deep; she made it far more complicated than it had to be, and that's on her.

Honestly.

"What's your guiltiest pleasure?" "Cheese."

"Have you ever stolen anything?" "A pack of gum, but I felt guilty and gave it back."

"If failure weren't an option, what's one thing you would do?" "Climb Mount Everest."

"What shows are on your DVR?" "I don't have a DVR/don't really follow any show religiously, but I watch a ton of movies."

"Do you ever text in a movie theater?" "I don't get to see a lot of movies when they're in the theaters, but sure, I'd probably text if it was something important. At least texting is quiet!"

"If you could ask Kim Kardashian one question, what would it be?"
"What's the meaning of life?"


I mean, it doesn't really matter what you answer, as long as you don't dig a hole for yourself by exposing something really private or by insulting someone in the process. It's not like this is a test. She turned it into a "thing", and what should have been a throwaway bit became a reason to wonder why the heck she agreed to do it in the first place if she wasn't interested in getting into the spirit of the feature.
dnttllhrry 20th-Dec-2012 10:55 pm (UTC)
The point is that she was an asshole.
Suck it up and do your job you ungrateful bitch.
sergeant_duckie 22nd-Dec-2012 01:42 am (UTC)
ia; ngl - I'd answer just as stupidly if I was asked these questions.
coreycoreycorey 20th-Dec-2012 07:50 pm (UTC)
Wow, like, God. This was, like, so interesting.
oracularist 20th-Dec-2012 07:50 pm (UTC)
He was an asshole to you for stealing in the first place? Damn, what a dick
blrocks 20th-Dec-2012 07:51 pm (UTC)
She evaded 5 out of 6 questions except the one that somehow made her out to be an honest person who is was treated unfairly. She could have just skipped this interview entirely and used up the time to find a fucking acting coach.
ponpiri 20th-Dec-2012 08:08 pm (UTC)
Right? She's beyond transparent these days.
jammyjam 20th-Dec-2012 08:42 pm (UTC)
lol so true
mlo_7 20th-Dec-2012 07:51 pm (UTC)
I was like, "I should have just walked. I am being a good person."

lol You're right, what a jerk for trying to chastise a kid for stealing.
