What Makes Kristen Stewart And Charlize Theron's Friendship Work Despite 15-Year Age Difference

In an interview with E! News, Charlize revealed that she instantly liked Kristen when they first met.

"We met on a plane going to Comic-Con. You know when you meet someone and it's effortless? It was instantly amazing," Charlize said. 

She continued, "We couldn't shut up. The plane landed and they were like, 'Get off the plane' and we were going on and on."

Charlize, an Oscar winner, further said that she and Kristen approached their roles in Snow White and the Huntsman similarly.

"I think we both love what we do and we came to play," she said. 

In Snow White and the Huntsman, Kristen played Snow White, while Charlize portrayed the wicked Queen Ravenna. 

Obviously, the bond between the star actresses is mutual as Twilight star Kristen said of Charlize, "With her, I really appreciate how different we are. I love the effect that she has on people. I find it hilarious. I love watching it happen."

Charlize also praised the younger Kristen for her authenticity, saying, "I think that there's an incredible girl here, and I like that she's so different because it's authentic. There's nothing I despise more than people trying to be something they're not. All of these quirks, they're authentic to who she is. She's not putting it on." 

The 46-year-old also said she was impressed with what Kristen had achieved at her age, adding that she has much respect for those who remain authentically themselves. 

Charlize added, "The first thing I noticed about her was that when she says she doesn't give a f---, she means it. She's not trying to be cool. She's not trying to be edgy. She's very, very authentic, and that's what I like about her."

It is rare to find a friendship like that of Kristen and Charlize considering their age difference. The close actresses prove that two people with a huge age difference can have a great friendship.
