Let's be honest, Kristen Stewart is probably not the first person to spring to mind when you think of the late, great, Princess Diana.
But as it turns out, they have a lot more similarities than we may have thought — which is precisely why she was chosen to play the role of Princess Diana in her upcoming film, Spencer.
The film is named after Diana's maiden name, BTW.
I can already tell that it's going to be Oscar-winning material!
Right down to the moment that she knew the marriage had reached its expiration.
“It’s about finding herself, about understanding that possibly the most important thing for her is to be well, and to be with herself and by herself,” the film's director told Deadline.
“It’s about finding herself, " the director explained, adding that — at the time — Diana was going through a period of self-discovery.
"About understanding that possibly the most important thing for her is to be well, and to be with herself and by herself,” the director added.
"It’s very contained, set over a few days in Sandringham. They spent Christmas there for many years and that’s where we set the movie in the early ‘90s, around 1992, " she said.
"We’re not specific. It’s Christmas Eve, Christmas and Boxing Day, three days, very contained."
But after some further investigating, that shockingly is far from true!
They, in fact, have a whole lot in common.
She is unapologetically herself, classy but bold and uninhibited, fashionable, and most of all, strong-willed!
Sound familiar?
Both Kristen Stewart and Princess Diana were taken apart for the cheating scandals that surrounded them.
"Kristen can be many things, and she can be very mysterious and very fragile an ultimately very strong as well, which is what we need."
"I think she’s going to do something stunning and intriguing at the same time. She is this force of nature."
Who else would look better with that cropped hair than Stewart?
