In light of the cheating scandal involving Kristen Stewart and her married Snow White and the Huntsman director, Rupert Sanders, the commentary track that the filmmaker provides on the upcoming Blu-ray/DVD release of the movie definitely feels a wee bit awkward now.

Especially when he's gushing over his leading lady.

"First time we see Kristen Stewart!" Sanders exclaims when the actress first appears onscreen, according to Us Weekly. "This is the first dialogue I shot with her. I said maybe you do a prayer. Her accent was flawless, she did such an amazing job on it."

Sanders later adds, "Kristen was amazing. I'd sit down with Kristen at lunch and say, 'What do you think?'"

Even a seemingly proud reference to his spouse, with all that we now know, sounds weird to hear.

"That's actually my wife!" Sanders points out when Liberty Ross appears as Queen Eleanor.

Stewart, meanwhile, is obviously trying to put the past behind her. The 22-year-old attended the premiere of On the Road at the Toronto International Film Festival on Thursday night, where she simply stunned in a Zuhair Murad gown.
