As far as relationships are concerned, "Equals" stars Kristen Stewart and Nicholas Hoult have had their fair share of heartbreak. Hoult broke up with his "X-Men" co-star Jennifer Lawrence recently, while Stewart split up from boyfriend and "Twilight" co-star Robert Pattinson after she had an illicit affair with "Snow White and the Huntsman" director several years ago.
The actress was crucified by the media for having an affair, and behind Pattinson's back too, and many "Twilight" fans have never forgiven her because of it.
But Stewart is now braving up that sensitive topic during an interview with The Daily Beast as she promotes her new film with Hoult, which is directed by Drake Doremus.
"It was incredibly painful," Stewart recalls her breakup with Pattinson. "Ugh, (expletive) kill me."
"Relationships," she adds, "you just never (expletive) know."
The actress immediately veered off the topic of her ex-boyfriend and talked about "Equals," saying it was a really good time for her and Hoult to do it.
"We all felt akin by how much we've been through, and to utilize that is so scary," she said about drawing personal experiences as inspiration for the film. "And to acknowledge it, reassess, and jump back into it? Usually you want to move on. But at least we could use some of that for some good. This movie was a meditation on firsts, and a meditation on maintaining, and a meditation on the ebbs and flows of what it's like to love someone-your feelings versus your ideals, the bursting of bubbles, the shattering of dreams you thought were possible, and what you have to contend with as things get more realistic."
Despite what has happened to her, Stewart is a staunch supporter of love and marriage, and this is why she feels bad for people who have a problem with the newly-defined marriage laws. In particular, she feels bad for Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis, who was sent to jail for five days after she refused to attach her name in same-sex marriage certificates.
"Honestly, it makes me so deeply uncomfortable. I feel really bad for her. Anyone who's so closed off to things that are so apparent? Imagine what else she's missing out on in life," mulled Stewart. "That's why I feel bad for her. That fear of the unknown cripples people, breeds hate, and it's just very sad."
