MTV talked to Nikki Reed about having to pretend to hate Kristen (who happens to be her best friend) in the Twilight films.

“Rosalie feels really strongly about her hatred for Bella,” grinned the 20-year-old Hollywood veteran, who returns to the set of “New Moon” this week to resume shooting the sequel. “It’s bizarre. Obviously, we can do it because it is acting. But it is really funny.”

She’s speaking about her real-life love for BFF Kristen Stewart — a sharp contrast to her character’s distaste toward Stewart’s Bella. Fans all over the world have loved to hate Reed for being so cruel to their Bella, but in actuality, the duo recently took a vacation together to Africa and plan to reunite for the movie “K-11” between “Twilight” sequels.

“Kristen’s my best friend,” she said. “I get to work on a set with really wonderful people and really creative people, and there are a million people in the world that have read this series and love the series. I get to be with my best friend. I can’t think of anything better.”
