CANNES, France \u2013 Kristen Stewart says she feels \u201cpretty good\u201d in her own skin, but that hasn\u2019t always been the case.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old actress, who found global fame as Bella in the hit \u201cTwilight\u201d movies, has been acting since childhood and admits she\u2019s struggled with confidence and self-esteem over the years<\/p>\n

\u201cI understand anxiety, I definitely understand not being able to find balance between mind and body and having to struggle with that, but I feel pretty good in my own skin, luckily. It took some time, but I feel pretty good,\u201d she said earlier this week while promoting her new movie, \u201cPersonal Shopper,\u201d at the Cannes Film Festival.<\/p>\n

However, there are occasional moments when she wishes she was someone else. \u201cSure, I would love to have a different face that I could put on in the morning so I could go and grab some groceries, but I don\u2019t struggle with that aversion to myself,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Directed by Olivier Assayas, \u201cPersonal Shopper,\u201d a psychological thriller, stars Stewart as a fashion assistant. It follows her acclaimed turn as the personal assistant to a famous actress in Assayas\u2019 earlier film, \u201cClouds of Sils Maria.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think she\u2019s amazing. I can\u2019t praise her enough,\u201d Assayas said of his leading lady. \u201cI think she\u2019s a unique actress. I think she’s the most authentic, genuine person and what she gives to a film is amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stewart said re-teaming with Assayas was nerve-wracking.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was nervous when I read \u2018Personal Shopper\u2019 because he wrote it for me and I was like, \u2018What if I don\u2019t like it? What if it\u2019s not in me?\u2019 The idea of telling him that was unacceptable, but luckily I read the script and it was really just shockingly perfect for me in that moment. It was the right time for me to play that part.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the film, her character buys designer clothes and jewelry for a celebrity, while mourning her late twin brother, with whom she believes she can communicate spiritually.<\/p>\n

Playing a woman dealing with grief was physically and mentally challenging for Stewart. \u201cTo live with that for two and a half months and working 16-hour days and six-day weeks, and working for Chanel on my seventh day, every single week. I really earned the look,\u201d she said, referring to her exhausted and slim appearance in the film.<\/p>\n

\u201cI looked like a ghoul by the end of that movie, but that was what I was striving for. So it was hard, but I was so happy the whole time being kind of miserable,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

\u201cPersonal Shopper\u201d is screening in competition at the Cannes Film Festival, which closes on Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
