Overview
- Stewart said she cannot drive around London or Paris without thinking of Diana and that she can cry about her at any moment.
- She described relying on movement and voice coaching, a styled wig, and a Chanel-heavy wardrobe, calling the clothes part of the armour that helped her inhabit Diana.
- The actor recalled feeling like a shell when filming ended and noted the emotional exhaustion reflected what the film aimed to portray.
- She initially told director Pablo Larraín he was insane to cast her but said he saw overlap between her press scrutiny and Diana’s treatment by paparazzi.
- Following her Oscar-nominated turn in 2021, Stewart has shifted toward directing with The Chronology of Water, which premiered at Cannes in 2025 and is releasing in the U.K. this week.
