    Kristen Stewart reveals 'it was scary' turning Bella Swan into a vampire for Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2

    Kristen Stewart makes her final appearance as Bella Swan in the eagerly awaited Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2, but she’s saved her best performance until last as she reveals the pitfalls of playing a vampire.

    NIKKI REED: THERE WAS A LACK OF EMOTION WHEN TWILIGHT WRAPPED

    In the previous Twilight film, Kristen’s character was turned into a vampire to save her life, meaning that in the final installment of the franchise she had to adapt to life as a superhuman, and Kristen said it wasn’t easy.

    She told The Tonight Show with Jay Leno: ‘It was scary, I made really embarrassing sounds the first time I did it. But then you get used to it. I can be badass after that.'

    During the interview on the American programme, she couldn’t help but express how much the ending of the saga meant to her, dubbing it ‘shocking’.

    ‘Every time I think about it [the ending] it gets me giddy,’ she said. ‘It freaks me out.’

    And that wasn’t all the actress wanted to tease Twihards with, she also promised the ending wouldn’t stray too far from the book.
