While it was revealed yesterday that the Snow White and the Huntsman director, 41, had cheated on his model wife and mother of his two children with his leading lady, footage has emerged of Liberty singing Kristen’s praises.
The 33-year-old star plays Kristen’s mother in the fantasy adventure and said the 22-year-old beauty was her number one choice for the role.
‘I mean, I’ve never watched a Twilight movie, so I don’t really know, but I loved her in Sean Penn’s film just for that moment that she’s in it.
‘Ever since then — she’s got something very transfixing about her. We needed a modern, edgy, cool girl.’
Meanwhile, despite being photographed in a series of compromising clinches with the married director, Kristen is confident she can win back her boyfriend of four years and Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson.
