Nikki Reed says Kristen Stewart stole shoes from the 'Twilight' set for her because she was too scared to take them herself
- The "Twilight" star Nikki Reed (Rosalie Hale) spoke to Insider about making the movie's iconic vampire sequence.
- The actress said that, coincidentally, the only piece of memorabilia she kept from the set was her character's baseball shoes — and she said her costar Kristen Stewart stole from the set for her.
- "I just could never take anything from the set because I'm such a rule follower," Reed told Insider. "And then I remember Kristen being like, 'This is not a big deal. You can just have your shoes.'"
- One day when the two stars met up, Stewart surprised Reed with the sneakers, Reed said.
The "Twilight" actress Nikki Reed said that the one item she kept from the hit movie was her character's shoes from the fan-favorite baseball sequence — and it's only because her costar Kristen Stewart stole them for her.
"I don't have a single piece of memorabilia from the film series except my baseball shoes from that scene," Reed, 32, who starred as Rosalie Hale in all five "Twilight" films from 2008 to 2012, told Insider during an interview for the film's 12th anniversary.
"Kristen, who's a dear buddy, took them for me because I just could never take anything from the set because I'm such a rule follower," Reed said. "And then I remember Kristen being like, 'This is not a big deal. You can just have your shoes.'"
Reed said that at the time, she and Stewart would gift each other Converse shoes. One day when they met up, Stewart surprised her with the lace-up sneakers from the baseball scene.
"I was like, 'Oh man, this is the best thing ever!'" Reed recalled. "And I still have them."
Reminiscing about filming the vampire-baseball scene in "Twilight," Reed said the cast put lots of effort into the sequence because they knew that moment was a favorite among fans of Stephenie Meyer's novel.
They strapped pads to their bodies to cushion their slides, got attached to wires to move through the air, and took baseball lessons.
"We spent a lot of time with baseball coaches and mapping it out — like, almost like a choreographed dance," the actress said. "And we took really interesting classes. Like, I remember Catherine Hardwicke had all of us take this cat-movement class so that we could move our bodies in a way that felt catlike.
"We definitely learned some new skills."
