Watch our exclusive video interview with Diane Kruger, star of The Host, who talks sci-fi, Twilight and Robert Pattinson

Who knew that style icon actress Diane Kruger was such a Twilight fan? The German star made the revelation during an exclusive video interview with Marie Claire to promote her new film, The Host.

The movie is is an adaptation of Twilight author Stephenie Meyer's 2008 book of the same name, which features parasitic aliens called 'Souls' who have invaded Earth and have begun to possess the minds of humans.

Talking about the Twilight connection, Diane said: 'I love Twilight, I have to say, it totally touches into my inner teenage girl. I was totally team Edward!'

On Meyer, she added: 'I think she always tries to have a philosophical idea behind her films. She writes about very big emotions like love and romance, but then there's always the question about us humans, our species, our flaws, and that what makes us great may also be our downfall.'
