Kristen Stewart sat down with W Magazine and talked about how she got the role of Princess Diana in Spencer.
Stewart said that Pablo Larraín called her asked if she wanted to play Diana Spencer. The actress says she didn’t know who that was. Then the director told her it was Prince Diana. I guess it would be weird to hear the late Royal being called by born name because we never her called her that.
As we know, Stewart accepted his offer, but she had to do a lot mentally to prepare to play the beloved legend. She told the interviewer, “I think physically seeing how much I could put myself through. How cold I could get. How skinny I could get. How tired I could get. I still felt 10′ tall.” She attributes the last one to the strength that Lady Di had throughout her marriage to Prince Charles.
Can you think of a time we ever saw Princess Diana appear weak? She stood tall and in charge, even with everything she was put through in front of the public and behind closed doors.
