Kristen Stewart Says 'Full Phil' Role Turned Grueling Over 79th Cannes' Rich French Food

Kristen Stewart said filming “Full Phil” became physically demanding because her character eats constantly and the French dishes on set were heavy with cream and butter.
At the 79th Cannes Film Festival, Stewart said she initially feared the food would “kill” her before the team found ways to work around what she called the “grotesque.”
The absurdist comedy from French writer-director Quentin Dupieux premiered in a midnight screening on Sunday and stars Stewart with Woody Harrelson as a daughter and father staying at a Paris hotel.
In the film, Madeleine keeps gorging on French delicacies while Phil gradually bloats, a change she then weaponizes against him in their strained relationship.
