The Myth of the “Bored” Kristen Stewart
Kristen Stewart has long been labeled the “queen of resting awkward face”—thanks to Twilight-era interviews where she looked like she’d rather be anywhere else. But dig deeper, and you’ll find a sharply witty, self-deprecating star who’s mastered the art of deadpan comedy.
Here are the interviews that prove she’s secretly one of Hollywood’s funniest people.
Her Best Sarcastic Clapbacks
1. “I’m So Deep.” (The Graham Norton Show)
When asked about her “intense” rep, Stewart deadpanned:
“People think I’m, like, brooding and deep. Nah, I’m just bad at small talk.”
Then she fake-stared into the distance dramatically, cracking up the audience.
2. On Method Acting (Late Night with Seth Meyers)
Meyers asked if she “became” Princess Diana for Spencer. Her reply?
“No, I didn’t haunt the set in a ghost costume. That’s not how acting works.”
3. The Time She Shut Down a Red Carpet Interview
Reporter: “How do you stay so glamorous?”
Stewart: “Uh… I don’t? I’m literally just standing here.”
Awkward Moments Turned Comedy Gold
4. “I Love That for You” (Cannes Film Festival)
A journalist asked “What’s your favorite part of Cannes?”
Stewart, after a long pause:
“The… [waves hand]… vibes? I love that for you.”
(Translation: I have no idea what you want me to say.)
5. The Infamous “I’m Not Even Here” Moment
During a Charlie’s Angels press tour, she pretended to fall asleep mid-interview. When the host called her out, she grinned:
“I’m not even here. This is a hologram.”

6. “Are You Team Edward or Jacob?” (2023 Edition)
A reporter still asked her this in 2023. Stewart’s response?
“Wow, you’re really caught in a time loop. Should we call a doctor?”
7. On Being Called “Too Cool”
Interviewer: “You’re so cool. Do you try to be?”
Stewart: “No, but thanks for implying it’s an act. That’s super chill of you.”
Why Her Humor is So Underrated
- Deadpan Delivery: She says absurd things with a straight face, making them funnier.
- Zero Pretense: Unlike stars who force quirkiness, her humor is unfiltered and real.
- She Doesn’t Care: Most A-listers obsess over image. Stewart? She’ll mock herself mid-interview.
