Twilight actress Kristen Stewart “terrified” of riding
Twilight actress Kristen Stewart has admitted she was “terrified” of having to ride for her new film “Snow White and the Huntsman”.
“I was shaking like a leaf when saddling up. Riding horses terrifies me,” Kristen told the Daily Star newspaper.
“I’ve felt that way ever since I fell off a horse when I was nine and broke my elbow.”
Kristen – most famous for her role as Bella Swan in the Twilight saga – plays Snow White in the new film.
The 21-year-old actress stars alongside Chris Hemsworth, who plays the huntsman in the title.
In a twist to the fairy tale, the huntsman ordered to take Snow White into the woods to be killed ends up protecting her in a quest to defeat the evil queen.
“Snow White and the Huntsman” will be released in the UK on 1 June.
