Fifteen years after the discharge of the primary “Twilight” film, Kristen Stewart is reflecting on the movie that launched her to worldwide stardom.

“It’s such a gay movie,” the actor informed Variety in an interview printed on-line Thursday.

Though the love triangle on the middle of “Twilight” is made up of heterosexual relationships ― human Bella Swan (Stewart) is torn between the affections of vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) and werewolf Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner) ― Stewart has come to see the film in a queer mild.

“I mean, a Mormon woman wrote this book,” Stewart mentioned, referring to Stephenie Meyer, who authored the younger grownup novels that impressed the 2008 film and its sequels.

“It’s all about oppression, about wanting what’s going to destroy you. That’s a very Gothic, gay inclination that I love.”

“The president is not a huge fan of me,” she informed the reside “SNL” viewers. “But that is so OK. And Donald, if you didn’t like me then, you’re really probably not going to like to me now, because I’m hosting ‘SNL’ and I’m, like, so gay, dude.”

In 2021, the “Spencer” star introduced that she and girlfriend Dylan Meyer deliberate to get married.
