Female actors get treated like puppets in Hollywood: Kristen Stewart

LONDON: (Jan 27) Actor Kristen Stewart says female actors get “treated like puppets” in Hollywood, with everyone around thinking anyone can become one, but it’s not so when one is a director, the experience she got after coming up with her directorial debut “The Chronology of Water”.

Stewart, known for featuring in “Twilight” films alongside Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, recently turned a director with “The Chronology of Water”, a 2025 biographical drama based on Lidia Yuknavitch’s memoir. It featured Imogen Poots in the lead role.

She said people started talking to her differently when she stepped into the director’s shoes. “Actresses get treated like s**t, I’ve got to tell you…People think anyone could be an actress, but the first time I sat down to talk about my movie as a director, I thought, wow, this is a different experience, they are talking to me like I’m somebody with a brain,” the actor told The Times of London in an interview.
