Kristen Stewart has been so busy with her career, she has only just graduated from high school!

The star — who is currently in Vancouver, Canada, shooting the third Twilight film, Eclipse — began her acting career at the age of eight, after an agent saw her perform in her elementary school’s Christmas play.

“I went to public school up until junior high,” Kristen told Interview magazine. “I know it’s a little late and I’m a little old, but I just finished high school — with honors.

“The other day I was doing a graduation scene on Eclipse, and I had just finished high school myself the week before, so I told the crew, ‘Hey, just so you know, I’m actually graduating right now, and I’m not going to have another ceremony.’ So I took a mock picture with an extra. I literally asked the actor to come back and shake my hand and hand me the diploma while I was dressed in a cap and gown.”

Stewart, 19, also revealed that she fell into acting.

“It’s a weird thing to expect a child that young to say what they want to do, like act,” she said. “I’m not sure it was a natural inclination for me either, but it was something that I fell into.

“To be honest, I had fun at first. It was the first thing I ever thrived at. My parents are crew. They were both baffled that I wanted to act. But they support anything that me and my brothers want to do.

“It was something I thought was fun because I grew up on sets. And then a few years later, I grew up and acting became very different to me. I think I was about 13.”
