Kristen Stewart says food-heavy Cannes film 'Full Phil' proved physically demanding

CANNES: Hollywood actor Kristen Stewart’s latest role in “Full Phil,” an absurdist comedy about a ​father and daughter navigating a strained relationship amid ‌an endless stream of French cuisine, proved physically demanding when it came to food.

“Full Phil,” which premiered at ​a midnight screening on Sunday at the Cannes Film ​Festival, sees Stewart and Woody Harrelson as ⁠a father and daughter staying at a hotel ​in Paris.

“I was like, ‘You guys are going to kill ​me’. It was like so French, the food was just full of cream, full of butter, all the stuff ​that I’d asked to like be replaced,” she ​told Reuters.

“But then we figured out ways to like work around ‌the ⁠grotesque,” said the Cannes regular, who has come to the festival as an actor, director and member of the jury.

Throughout the film, from French writer-director Quentin ​Dupieux, Stewart’s ​character, Madeleine, ⁠eats constantly, gorging herself on all the delicacies France has to offer.

However, it’s ​not Madeleine who is affected by ​her constant ⁠eating, but her father, Phil, who begins to bloat as the film progresses, which she begins to ⁠weaponise ​against him.

“What’s funny is she ​kept on eating sometimes between the takes,” Dupieux recalled.
