STEWART INJURED AFTER STRIPPER SCENES
KRISTEN STEWART was left covered in bruises after struggling with her pol= e-dancing routine in upcoming film WELCOME TO THE RILEYS.
The actress plays a 16-year-old exotic dancer in the drama, and admits = she was not prepared for the physically gruelling stripping scenes.
She tells E! Online, "I did some pole dancing. I got bruises all over m= y legs. I tore myself up doing it. It sucked. (But) the more I saw it, th= e more I wanted it (to perform). It was like a weird self-hating kind of = thing. The cool thing about my character is she is not sultry and she is = not sexy." Director Jake Scott asked the Twilight beauty to take lessons from a re= al stripper - but insists Stewart was still scared of shedding her clothe= s even though the set was closed off to everyone but cast and crew.
He adds, "She was terrified. The strip club we shot in was really a clu= b, and it really was that dirty and really that tough. But she killed it.= "
