“Will you leave that for me and I’ll try it on and send you a picture of it?” Kimmel, 54, joked.
“You got it,” Stewart deadpanned.
The host congratulated his guest on her first Oscar nomination, and asked how her parents reacted.

“I was a really shy kid and was like, ‘I think I wanna try to act and maybe do headshots. They’re $3,000. Someone at school told me about it. Can you please hook me up?’ And she’s, like, invested in me,” Stewart explained.
“[She] looked in the mirror of her F150 and was like ‘Are you going to make good on this? Are you going to pay me back?’ " the actress added with a laugh.
Recalling the call she made to her mom after learning she was nominated for the prestigious prize for her role inSpencer,Stewart said, “I was literally like, ‘Mom! Dude! I, like, got it!’ And she was like, ‘Well honey, that’s great. Just waking up, but that’s not why we do things.’ "
“And then she went kind of quiet, and I was like, ‘What’s up?’ She was like, ‘I think I might be a little gobsmacked,’ " Stewart continued. “And I was like, ‘Okay, it took a few minutes but that was the reaction [I was waiting for].”
Elsewhere during her appearance, Kimmel played footage of some of Stewart’s fans enthusiastically learning she was nominated for an Academy Award.
“I mean, I don’t think I’ve been that excited about anything,” Kimmel joked after the clips concluded.
“Can you send these to me so I can send this to my mom?” Stewart asked the host. “So she can see the proper reaction!”
