Kristen Stewart's role in the 'Twilight' movie franchise nearly went to Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love's daughter.

Frances Bean Cobain, 20, was offered the role of Bella Swan in the films, but snubbed the opportunity because she objected to the vampire storylines, reported Contactmusic.

"When she was 13 she was offered 'Twilight', she was offered (the part of) Bella in Twilight. Someone just saw a picture of her in a magazine and sent me the script for Twilight. She was like, 'That's a sexist Mormon'. She was 13. It would have destroyed her life," Love said.

Stewart played the role of Bella in the five Twilight movies, which have grossed more than USD 2 billion worldwide.
