14 DAY TRIAL // Ashley Greene owes most of her fame, if not actually all of it, to being cast as Alice Cullen in the vampire franchise “The Twilight Saga” but, she says in a new interview with Marie Claire, she’s paid a very high price for it.
This is not the first time that Greene laments about the exposure that’s pretty much ruined her life, so it should probably come as no surprise that she’s doing the same in her latest interview.
Greene isn’t trying to sound ungrateful – she is totally aware that she would be nowhere without “Twilight,” or only a model at best – but she does come across as rather irksome with her “poor little rich girl” routine, voices online are saying.
We’ll let you be the judge of that.
“Twilight has ruined me,” Greene says of international flying, referring to how she’s usually very “frugal” and she’s been spoiling herself whilst part of the film franchise.
“When this is all over, flying internationally is going to be very hard for me. It is just not worth it to buy a first class ticket, because of the cost,” she says.
Becoming instantly famous thanks to the Alice role was, regardless of what you might think, not easy. In the years she’s been part of the franchise, Ashley has learned to reevaluate friends, priorities, herself.
“It was a hard adjustment going from zero to 100 in a day. But it was also hard to talk to [friends], because you don't want to be a jerk. After [Twilight] came out, some people said, ‘You changed.’ And I said, ‘I haven't changed, dude. Your opinion of me has changed because I'm working on this film.’ Trust me, my parents would let me know,” she says.
“I'm always here and there – everyone in my industry is – and that's why a lot of relationships are fleeting. I've gotten very good at detaching whenever I have to go away for three months, which I realize is hard on friends and kind of selfish,” she goes on to say.
Her love life has also suffered tremendously, to the point where she can honestly say she’s almost starting to forget what a real relationship is like.
“You go on a couple of dates, and then someone ships off to do a movie. It's not like you're going to fly out and see them, because it's not serious enough for that,” she says.
