Kristen Stewart has been in the limelight since her pre-teen after gaining recognition as Jodie Foster’s on-screen daughter in Panic Room (2002). After working on the big screen for a while, she garnered global prominence for her role as Bella Swan in the Twilight saga. While she cemented herself as one of Hollywood’s most recognized actresses, she is just another girl who also has a crush on other celebrities including DC actress, Amy Adams.
Amy Adams played the role of Lois Lane opposite Henry Cavill’s Superman in Man of Steel (2013). However, both actresses worked together in the 2012 film, On the Road which is how the former got to know the latter.
Kristen Stewart Had a Crush on DC Actress, Amy Adams
Adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s iconic novel of the same name, the 2012 film, On the Road revolves around Sam Riley’s Sal Paradise, a young writer who embarks on a journey with Garrett Hedlund’s Dean Moriarty across the United States.
The duo encounters various characters along their journey including Dean’s wife Marylou (played by Kristen Stewart) and Amy Adams’ Jane. Despite Adams playing a small role in the movie, she ended up winning the Twilight alum‘s heart.
In a 2012 interview with W Magazine via Digital Spy, the 33-year-old actress confessed gushing over her On the Road co-star.
She shared,
“I used to have a huge thing for Harrison Ford. And Amy Adams, man, she’s my favourite actress. I have a total crush on her because I got to work with her too – she’s awesome.”
While she seemed to have enjoyed working with the Man of Steel actress, the latter had different thoughts. Elsewhere, she revealed that she found her intimidating.
Amy Adams Found Kristen Stewart Intimidating
While the Spencer actress was fond of her senior, Adams on the other hand, was a bit intimidated by her co-star. However, the reason is quite different as she revealed she was wary of collaborating with teenagers in general.
She told E! News,
“I guess I’m getting to the point in my life where I’m suspicious of teenagers and I’m intimidated a little bit.”
Stewart was 20 years old at the time, which made her slightly away from the teenager category but the six-time Oscar nominee was well aware of the fact. She revealed,
“She’s not a teenager, but she’s close enough and I was very intimidated.”
Even though working with the Still Alice actress was a daunting experience for her, she revealed herself as a true fan of the Twilight book series. She recalled,
“I told [Stewart] I read the books and she was like, ‘You’ve read the books?’ She couldn’t compute it, but you have to imagine I was playing this sort of bedraggled drug addict, so she was like, ‘That doesn’t seem like the audience.’ But she was incredibly gracious and lovely.”
The Vice actress in another interview praised her younger co-star for her acting prowess whom she perhaps noticed since her work in the 2002 movie, Panic Room. She once told MTV via Just Jared,
“I knew she had chops. I’ve seen her since Panic Room. I thought she was fantastic. I feel like she’s grown up onscreen. She was great in Into the Wild. The girl’s got some chops.”
Apart from Adams and Stewart, the 2012 adventure drama movie featured an ensemble cast including Garrett Hedlund, Sam Riley, Alice Braga, Danny Morgan, Elisabeth Moss, Kirsten Dunst, and Viggo Mortensen.
On the Road is available to stream on AMC+
