Kristen Stewart and her opinion about social media
Actress Kristen Stewart is at the Toronto International Film Festival to promote her new biopic on the old Hollywood star Jean Seberg.
The movie is named Seberg and is all about the great actress of the bygone days. Kristen spoke about how she can fake and make people feel that she is a happy soul.
She stated that she puts on a smiling face even amid personal turmoil. Talking about it, Kristen said:
“I definitely know what it feels like to have a bad day and have to come out and have people think that you haven’t,”
About the film Seberg
The movie Seberg is based on the life of the old Hollywood starlet named Jean Seberg. She was in a relationship with a civil rights activist named Hakim Jamal (played by the American actor Anthony Mackie).
Due to their romantic association of Jean with Hakim, the FBI trailed her. Jean was also a supporter of the Black Panther Party in the 1960s. Her life off-screen was difficult and she died of suicide in 1979. Jean used to provide financial support to various activist groups.
Both Kristen and Anthony said that they had their own experiences with celebrity status, fame, and its consequences and used them while filming the movie.
The experiences of Kristen Stewart and Anthony Mackie
Both Kristen and Anthony acted in the film and used their own experiences to relate to the characters in the movie. Anthony said:
“Because of the internet, there’s a cynicism and hatred towards fame and people in the limelight,”
He added:
“[Back then] there was this imaginary idea of how great their life was and how we wanted that. Whereas now, we can see your every minute of your life… I don’t care if you’re having a bad day. Your day is still my day, because I have this on my phone and I own you.”
Kristen pitched in:
“I put you there,”
Anthony continued with his statement:
“And that is what’s so disgusting about today.”
