Kristen Stewart admits she hated making 'Charlie's Angels' movie though it was a 'good idea at the time'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kristen Stewart is getting candid about her career choices and how the industry has changed over the years.

Talking to Variety, the actress shared that though she liked the idea of working in the ‘Charlie’s Angels’ reboot, back then while filming, she ‘hated’ it.

During Variety’s segment ‘Know Their Lines’, Kristen used a dialogue from the above flick, "Did you know that it takes men an additional seven seconds to perceive a woman as a threat compared to a man?”

“This was a mouthful at the time. I remember saying that. That was from a little film called ‘Charlie’s Angels,’” she said.

“We wanted a strong opener, you know? We wanted to really like broadcast what the movie was about. It was a good idea at the time. I hated making that movie. I don’t know what else to say to you. Honestly, the three…you can’t touch [that]. Cameron, Lucy and Drew…I love that movie. I love that movie! If that says anything,” she added.

The ‘Spencer’ star was referring to the original ‘Charlie’s Angels’ of 2000. In the movie, the iconic trio of Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu were in the leading roles. It had a second edition in 2003 which also proved to be a major success at the box office.

Stewart’s ‘Charlie’s Angels’ was directed by Elizabeth Bank who later said, “So much of the story that the media wanted to tell about ‘Charlie’s Angels’ was that it was some feminist manifesto.”

“People kept saying, ‘You’re the first female director of ‘Charlie’s Angels', And I was like, ‘They’ve only done a TV show and McG’s movies…what are you talking about? There’s not this long legacy.’ I just loved the franchise. There was not this gendered agenda from me. That was very much laid on top of the work, and it was a little bit of a bummer. It felt like it pigeonholed me and the audience for the movie," Banks said.

Banks further said about its promotion, “I remember having a conversation with someone who was like, ‘You guys are going to have a partnership with Drybar’ — which is, like, a hair-blowing thing."

“And I was like, ‘Alright… but could we have an ad during the baseball playoffs? It’s not only this one thing.’ It was interesting to see how the industry sees things that star women. It was a real lesson for me," Banks told Rolling Stone.
