Stewart feels she has become her `Twilight` character

London: Hollywood actress Kristen Stewart has said she feels she has become her ‘Twilight’ character Bella Swan. The 19-year-old feels "protective" of her big screen alter ego because their lives have progressed in a similar way, reports fametastic.co.uk.

"I feel like Bella has become something that is me, in a weird way. I feel very protective of her. Bella and I have been on a similar ride, in that during the second film she matures a bit. She`s making these drastic life decisions and she knows what she wants," she said. "She`s got to know herself much better. I think I`ve done the same thing through this project. It`s been a wild ride and there`s been a lot of self-evaluation. I`ve grown a lot, and so has Bella," she added. IANS
