Kristen Stewart dishes surprising take on acting

Kristen Stewart is dishing her thoughts on acting, and how she considers it to be favourable to one gender.

The Twilight actress also used the example of method actors to further her point, making an observation that has caused quite a stir online.

In her interview with the New York Times, the director stated, “Performance is inherently vulnerable and therefore quite embarrassing and unmasculine, there’s no bravado in suggesting that you’re a mouthpiece for someone else’s ideas.”

“It’s inherently submissive. Have you ever heard of a female actor that was method?” she continued.

Kristen’s remarks were a part of a larger conversation about Marlon Brando’s mispronunciation of a word in the 1978 Superman, and she also discussed the ways men attempt to downplay the vulnerability that comes with acting.

The Chronology of Water director mentioned that male actors will do things like push-ups or something else that affirms their masculinity before they do close-ups or emotional scenes to preserve their masculinity.

Notably, internet users discussed the fact that there a number of female method actors, debunking the comment made by Kristen.
