hollywoodnews.com: Following today�s news of legendary actor Dennis Hopper�s death, here is something from the archives: a little-known conversation between the veteran actor and Twilight�s Kristen Stewart done for Interview Magazine.
�Why in God�s name did you want to do this?� Kristen asks just seconds into her phone conversation with Hopper. �You have no idea how cool this is for me.� Hopper�not only an actor and director but also an accomplished photographer and writer�had a decades-long relationship with Interview Magazine. �Well, you�re a really good actress,� replies Hopper. �And my daughter is your biggest fan, so I thought, what the hell? [laughs] I usually don�t do this, either.�
And so progresses the interview�in the typical style of Interview Magazine, it manages not to feel like one at all. Stewart is positioned as the reverent ing�nue, Hopper as the seasoned mentor. Similar to the dynamic achieved in the Sundance Channel�s �Iconoclasts� series, the dichotomy is at once of the utmost relevance, but not.
The article is rich with the kind of talk you seldom see from Stewart and a side of Hopper you may not have expected. My main advice is to go read the interview yourself. Despite talk of Kristen�s hostility toward her public, and antagonism toward the attention her stardom affords her, the way she tackles the topic of celebrity with Hopper may cause you to see her in a different light.
