Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart’s relationship was one of the most iconic relationships in the industry due to their work in the Twilight franchise. Their on-screen chemistry was remarkable, in fact, it was so good, that it didn’t take long for rumors of a real-life romance to start spreading around.
The two reportedly started dating in 2009 but kept things very private. Their relationship took a hit in 2012 when Stewart was photographed kissing director Rupert Sanders. One year after this incident, they split up in May 2013 after four years of on-again, off-again dating. Now, it has been a decade since their break up, but there is no bad blood between them. Fans even wanted to see Stewart as the Joker in Robert Pattinson’s The Batman (2022), but was she interested in playing the role?
Kristen Stewart was not interested in playing the Joker
Actor Robert Pattinson‘s The Batman (2022), was a massive success. The film, which grossed $771 million worldwide, featured Paul Dano as the Riddler but, there was one particular Hollywood star that fans wanted to see as Joker in the movie, Kristen Stewart, however, she was not really interested in the role. While speaking with Variety, she was asked about taking up the role and she responded,
“I love the energy behind that, but… It’s really been done so well. I feel like, maybe, we don’t traipse over, but I love that gusto. Let’s figure something else out. I’m totally down to play a freaky, scary person,” adding, “Not ‘no,’ but not the most stoked I’ve ever been. Let’s do something new.”
It would be an awkward reunion as it has been roughly one decade since Pattinson and Stewart ended their highly-publicized relationship.
