    Kristen Stewart’s mother admits she encouraged the Twilight actress to star in the Snow White and the Huntsman

    Kristen Stewart may have moved on from the cheating saga that almost ruined her relationship with Robert Pattinson, but her mother, Jules Stewart, has now admitted she encouraged the actress to take the now fateful role. KRISTEN STEWART: MY TWILIGHT WEDDING FELT REAL

    Albeit innocently, it was the director of upcoming film K-11 who encouraged her daughter to take on the lead part in Snow White and the Huntsman. Speaking of Kristen Stewart’s huge success so far Jules proudly told Us Weekly: ‘She kept working and she kept working and she kept working. And she got really big and we were still really small and I was like, “Go! Go do Snow White, please, go make those big films honey, that's wonderful!”’

    While of course Kristen’s performance in the film was wonderful, the events that followed in her private life weren’t. Last summer the actress admitted to an affair with the Snow White and the Huntsman’s married director Rupert Sanders and it almost ruined her relationship with Robert Pattinson.

    While of course Jules would not comment on that side of things she did touch on Kristen Stewart’s acting talents saying: ‘Kristen has a dark side. Kristen has the edge -- thank god, right?’

    But that dark side has certainly lit up Hollywood!
