Kristen Stewart to take break from acting

Stewart is thrilled to have chosen to step behind the camera for the next few months to work on a short film about the power of women, reports people.com.

 “I just did like five movies over a two-year period, and I think it’s a very good decision for me right now to stop acting in movies for just a moment. I’ve never really done that. I’ve never changed my appearance,” Stewart said at the ongoing 69th Cannes Film Festival here. 

The star, who shot to fame with the Twilight franchise in her teens, appears in two films at this year’s Cannes film festival: Woody Allen’s Cafe Society and Personal Shopper, her second film with French director Olivier Assayas – the first, Clouds of Sils Maria, made her the first American woman to win a Cesar award.

 With Stewart’s edgy style, it almost seems like she’s been blonde all along. “I’ve always really stayed neutral since I was like 10 years old, so I was like,  and I’m going to f**k up my hair’,” she said.
