Stewart's 'Full Phil' Eating Ordeal: 'I'm Going to Die!'

Kristen Stewart detailed the intense eating experiences on the set of Quentin Dupieux's "Full Phil," where she consumed significant amounts of food, even going as far as to say, "I'm going to die." The film features Harrelson and Stewart as a father and daughter on a trip to Paris. Stewart's character eats excessively, creating a 'symbiotic nightmare' for Phil, who feels the effects of her consumption.

Stewart found the eating process to be a valuable obstacle, viewing it as a metaphor for her character's emotional turmoil and her role as a "voracious bottomless pit, eating her feelings." Director Dupieux drew inspiration from his own daughter, describing the film as a "nightmare version" of his life and a playful jab at humanity.

Harrelson lauded Dupieux as a "true maestro," comparing his directorial vision to that of Ruben Östlund. He highlighted Dupieux's unique shooting style that amplifies the viewing experience. Dupieux intended to humorously critique the idealized portrayal of Americans in Paris, as seen in shows like "Emily in Paris."

Stewart and Harrelson shared a history of wanting to collaborate, with their first meeting occurring when Stewart was 17. Stewart expressed admiration for Harrelson since seeing him in "White Men Can't Jump." Stewart is currently writing two movies, planning an "exploitation film" to be self-distributed, and will star in an Amazon show called "The Challenger."
