Guess who’s been stirring the pot with her latest jaw-dropping Rolling Stone cover? Yep, you guessed it – Kristen Stewart, our fave Twilight alum, totally owned it in what can only be described as the chef’s kiss of magazine covers. Rocking nothing but a leather vest and a jockstrap, KStew was all about cranking the dial up to “ultra-gay,” and we’re here for it.
Her motto for the shoot? “Let’s make this the gayest freaking spectacle you’ve ever laid eyes on.” If only she could sport a ‘stache and a happy trail, she’d go all in, she mused to the mag. Despite some side-eyes thrown her way, Kristen was nothing but psyched about the whole thing.
Days later, still basking in the viral buzz, she clapped back at the critics like a true queen. Addressing the uneasy vibes some folks get when female sexuality doesn’t play by the old-school, straight-guy rules, Kristen shrugged, basically saying, “I’m thrilled with how it turned out.” She told the Hollywood Reporter with her signature chill, “Mixing up the visual vibes that aren’t the usual fare? Heck yes. And if that ruffles feathers? Cool with me.”
KStew pointed out that androgynous awesomeness like her Rolling Stone moment shouldn’t even make us blink an eye anymore. “It’s time,” she declared, ready to shake up the photo game even more.
Fast forward to Sunday at the Berlin Film Fest, where she was hyping up her new flick Love Lies Bleeding – a queer thriller that’s set to grab mainstream attention by the collar. “Enough with the preaching-to-the-choir vibe,” she said, pushing for LGBTQ+ cinema to break out of its niche and mingle with the big guns without always having to wave the flag.
“It’s a new day,” Kristen emphasized, dreaming of queer films that mirror real life, desires, and dreams – no soapboxes required. “We’re moving forward, beyond making movies just about why they’re marginalized. It’s about the real stuff – love, ambitions, and all that jazz,” she added, ready to ditch the spokesperson gig for a bit more authenticity.
