The era of the fame-averse might actually be upon us. “Twilight” star
Kristen Stewart, who helped the film franchise gross almost $400
million worldwide, said she doesn’t have an interest in
blockbuster-level celebrity.

"I don't want to be a movie star like Angelina Jolie," Stewart told
BlackBook magazine.

Stewart points out a distinction that’s often made but rarely plays
out among the most successful in the industry, that acting and being a
celebrity are two different things.

“Nothing about being a celebrity is desirable," the 19 year-old
insisted. "I'm an actor. It's bizarre to me that everybody's so
obsessive."

The desire to keep some semblance of a low profile is one that Stewart
shares with her “Twilight” co-star and rumored significant other
Robert Pattinson. “I guess I’m not the type of guy cut out to do a
franchise,” he told Vanity Fair. “I’m not much of a crowd person.”
