Kristen Stewart appears on Interview’s 40th anniversary October
cover photographed by Craig McDean and—wrapped in cellophane and dressed in leather—she couldn’t be more different from her wide-eyed
Twilight character, Bella Swan. "It’s sort of a depressing thing to lose a character just when you’ve been able to get to know her," Stewart tells Dennis Hopper in the accompanying interview. Though Stewart took a break from Bella to play Joan Jett in the upcoming
Runaways (hence the haircut), she’ll be back to
Twilight in no time. The second installment of the Stephenie Meyer series¸
New Moon, is due out in November and she’s busy filming the third,
Eclipse. "She’s of the moment and in the moment," Interview’s Creative Director Karl Templer told The Daily Beast. "She has the spirit of a tomboy, a female James Dean... She’s kind of androgynously sexy."
