Hey, we had to ask. With Kristen Stewart shedding her wholesome Bella persona (and her clothes) in order to play a stripper in the soon-to-be-released "Welcome to the Rileys," MTV News sat down with the actress for a chat and voiced the question on everyone's mind: Does Kristen identify with the sexually manipulative tactics of her damaged, desperate character Mallory?
Kristen hemmed, hawed, and characteristically tugged on her hair before admitting that during filming, she actually did discover a few things about herself—and received a few unexpected offers of employment.
"Doing this movie, it was one shocking thing—to find how easy it is," she said. "I went to a strip club with the director and the costume designer. And, it being an odd grouping of people going into a strip club in the middle of the afternoon, I was, like, straight-up offered a job."
Not that she needs it. At this point, Kristen could probably retire and live large on royalties from "Twilight" for the rest of her life. But just knowing that she could take a detour through the seedier side of life seemed to throw her, and we get the sense that walking around New Orleans in the skimpy costumes required by her role gave rise to a few unsettling experiences.
"Wearing the kind of stuff I was wearing, it literally could be like, boom, boom, boom, done," she said (with "it" presumably referring to some, er, less-than-wholesome proposals offered by passing dudes).
"But I would never do that!" she added, with a laugh and agreed that yeah, it's good to know that she has "options." But it sounds like she'll be happy to leave them unexplored—except on-screen, of course.
Which kind of roles do you like best for Kristen? Dark and gritty or vamp-romantic?
