Kristen Stewart Talks About Pole Dancing

Kristen Stewart talks with E! News Marc Malkin about her upcoming role as a stripper in Welcome to the Rileys.

Welcome to the Rileys was a real pain for Kristen Stewart—literally.

In the much buzzed about indie flick, she plays a 16-year-old stripper who is taken in by a married man, played by James Gandolfini…

“I did some pole dancing,” Stewart told me Saturday at the movie’s premiere at the Sundance Film Festival. “I got bruises all over my legs. I tore myself up doing it. It sucked.”

Oddly enough, she kinda enjoyed it. “The more I saw it, the more I wanted it,” Stewart said. “It was like a weird self-hating kind of thing.”

Yikes!

Director Jake Scott said it was pretty much a closed set when Stewart had to do her dancing scenes.

“She was terrified,” Scott said. “The strip club we shot in was really a club, and it really was that dirty and really that tough. But she killed it.”

Scott also hooked Stewart up with a professional stripper. “She’s like one of the best in the business,” he said. “So she was really reliable and didn’t do drugs or anything like that, but she was able to introduce Kristen to girls that were. She was able to put her in that world.”

But if you’re expecting Showgirls moves from Stewart, you can forget about it. “This is not about a stripper,” Scott said. “It’s about a damaged child.”

Stewart said, “The cool thing about my character is she is not sultry and she is not sexy.”

AWESOME! Stripper Stew! LOL! I bet she did kill it. She is the best! Can’t wait to see this movie.

She is the only chick or dude on the planet that makes me forget about Rob for the brief moments that I get to see her.

It took a little while for me to get into because of the language barrier sometimes, but I actually really liked the movie.

Aaaaah…don't now about her but by the way she looks she IS sexy…I'm curious about the film…Can't wait to see it
misstq

I'm curious about something Stewy said in the interview:
she said most twifans are teens. But that is not my experience…I haven't been a teenager in almost 20 years and so far we who also are on FB are not teens….
So they the movie people should change the way they see that because then the can start making the movies the way we like them….all smutty and steamy HOT
Hitchy(MBOLH)- Team Beardward

OK I know I'm 10 hours too late for this convo, but I am laughing my BUTT OFF over here!!!! Poor CF… I think the theatre should have some sort of medical intervention ready for you when you see this on the big screen. You must know some paramedics, you should take one with you!
Hitchy(MBOLH)- Team Beardward

Imagining what the theatre will look like with both men and women drooling in their seats over Stewy on a pole….

They should just save themselves the trouble with the law suits and put the “Caution Wet Floor” signs up as people are walking in.
Miami Coven Cherry Bomb

I'm not Alice but I see an Oscar in Miss Stewart's future. I mean she is going from rock legend to stripper to a vampire's girlfriend to hopefully a vampire herself. Okay if this is just the stripper and the rocker, Will our CF handle Kristen in I-Max?
Miami Coven Cherry Bomb

Both Kris and Rob said they would love to do a movie together outside the Twilight. So our prayers could be answered.
CF911 Team Beardward

Well, I'm really not, only for her. And yes he does. Which is a good thing. We can share it together.

hehe
CF911 Team Beardward

Bahahahahahha.
CF911 Team Beardward

We shall see. If I survive until then that is.
Hitchy(MBOLH)- Team Beardward

Just looking out for the greater good, you know.
Carter04~TeamLegHitch~*MC-VG*

umm, your actually exactly right!! i've never thought of it that way!!
vampwannabe

i agree. This role is about a damaged little girl, who has no other choice but to basically sell her body for money. This is a difficult part to play, playing someone 16, who is fragile, but who 'acts tough' to protect herself. The critics say that it's so believable and difficult to watch, that you want to cover her up with your coat to protect her.
One day, I know we will see her win an oscar. I mean, she was so young when she did that movie 'Speak' (i think that's the title), where she was raped and get it to herself. Her character broke my heart… She is amazing and 19!
luv her:)
WritingSchizo101

So odd. Us girls are . . . interested, so to say? Beyond interested! Drooling. Some are worse than the boys!

Am I odd for being so jealous of her stripper role? Anyone else want it too?
WritingSchizo101

So do I! Agree 100%
She's amazing. I can't wait to see the movie. For some reason, I'm jealous of her role . . . Hmmmm. Do I have a uture carrer I didn't know existed? Just kidding. Acting. Kristen's job. What– did you think I was talking about Mallory's?

LOL!

WTTR
Eclipse
The Runaways
vampwannabe

I can't wait to see WTTR, Eclipse (of course), Remember Me, and the Runaways.
This is going to be an amazing year. sooo excited:)
WritingSchizo101

So around how old are you? Do you like to read? Are you a girl or boy?

I'm a girl. I love reading and my favorite book series is Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead. I'm 16.
CHEESEBURGERS!!

lol – she's the best stripper in the business – doesn't do drugs or anything.
Yeah, that makes it better!! lol

It must be weird being a director and having to film scenes that are so personal and intimate. Well, probably not. That's why they're the directors, and I'm not. hahahaha

Pole dancing would be cool!!!! Luckily she walked away with bruises. I'd probably break an arm…
Marti (Addicted to Dexter)

Of course she killed it. She always does! Duh.
Mary

Okay, I NEED to see this movie. Pronto. Or I’m probably gonna go insane…lol jk…maybe. [x No, but seriously, I’m gonna need an oxygen tank for when I start hyperventilating, I’m no lesbian, but for Kristen? Pshhh, fuck yes. Lmao!
