Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron Pictures in Interview Magazine

Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron share the June/July cover of Interview magazine, photographed by Mikael Jansson. The Snow White and the Huntsman co-stars have had plenty of time to bond, with the shoot and press leading up to the film’s release, and for the publication they were interviewed separately by Elvis Mitchell but had many good things to say about each other. They also talked about how they approach the characters they bring to life, and Charlize also offered her thoughts on plastic surgery. Here’s more from Kristen and Charlize in Interview:

• Kristen on how she relates to Snow White: “There’s so much that Snow White has been deprived of in terms of having the proper time to really develop and hone who she is. She’s put in jail at the beginning of her life, so she’s a stunted person. She has a really idealised concept of what the world is, and how people should live, and how wonderful things all can be, and there is this debilitating isolation that she feels because she has been locked away in a little cell for seven years. And I can kind of relate to that. There is something . . . It’s not the reason that I wanted to do the movie, but the fans and people who loved Twilight, they do put you on this sort of different plane where you’re not real.”
• Kristen on Charlize: “I think she loves being an actor and is so true to it that she might not acknowledge everything she’s capable of. But she’s so real all the time. She’s not the type who is easily rocked on a set. She’s very much in control of her thing.”
• Charlize on the kinds of characters she plays: “I know that I’m very attracted to characters who don’t necessarily make it easy to be loved either. It’s not a judgment — I just don’t find that there’s a lot for me to explore with characters that are easy to get along with or who have these amazing attributes and are just easy to be around. I think I am definitely attracted to characters that make you work for it.”
