Kristen Stewart turns 20 today & to celebrate her birthday we thought we’d post the 20 Reasons We Love Kristen!
#20. Her ability to grow out an awkward haircut. Kristen’s transitioned out of the Joan Jett mullet while in the public eye and she’s owned the transition styles.
#19. Her on-screen chemistry with Robert Pattinson — can you imagine how lame the Twilight movies would be if those two didn’t spark as well as they do?
#18. Even though she’s a movie star now, she’s happy to work with her parents on K-11.
#17. Just like her onscreen counterpart of Bella, she’s clumsy! She dropped her MTV Movie Award, and won over even more admirers who can relate to having butterfingers at the worst moments.
#16. Joan Jett loves her. And no one’s cooler than Joan Jett.
#15. Even though we’re used to her as a brunette, Kristen can rock the blonde locks.
#14. Always a good sign: her bosses love her. Every director who’s worked with Kristen sings her praises — her acting ability and her personality.
#13. She can sing. She sounded great in Into the Wild and in The Runaways. Fingers crossed for more onscreen singing in Kristen’s future.
#12. She doesn’t want to make a record. Even though we think she has a lovely singing voice, we admire Kristen’s focus on her acting. She doesn’t want to cash in on an album just because Twilight fans would buy multiple copies.
#11. Her besties are her coworkers. If Dakota Fanning and Nikki Reed want to spend MORE time with Kristen after long, long days on set, that must mean that being around Kristen doesn’t feel like work.
#10. Even though Kristen grew up on sets with parents who work in the movie industry, she doesn’t have a Hollywood holier-than-thou attitude. She’s normal, she’s grounded, she’s K-Stew.
#9. Kristen’s personal style is just that — personal. She doesn’t dress up for the paparazzi, instead she just rocks her casual style. But when she does go glam for premieres, she always chooses gowns that suit her personality with a slight edge or funky quality to them.
#8. She keeps her private life private. Despite the immense amount of scrutiny on her, Kristen prefers to stay quiet about her off-screen relationships.
#7. She’s proud of the movies she makes — big or small. Kristen doesn’t favor big budget movies, or big paycheques, over smaller films produced independently.
#6. She survived being a child actor. It’s not easy growing up fast on film sets, but Kristen has always kept her focus and worried more about doing a good job than being a starlet.
#5. She loves her fans. In her acceptance speech for her Rising Star BAFTA, Kristen put the focus on the people who got her on that stage — her devoted fans.
#4. Lots of integrity in the kind of roles Kristen chooses – she’s always going for layered, complex characters with some sort of core strength and general quirkiness.
#3. She isn’t a faker. Kristen comes across so sincerely in interviews and appearances, not trying to give canned answers. We love honesty!
#2. Two words: Bella Swan. Kristen brought Bella to life and made millions of fans fall in love with her — in addition to Edward and Jacob.
#1. She’s a great actress! The number-one thing we love about Kristen is how brilliant of an actor she is.
Happy Birthday, Kristen!
