Ever Wonder What Kristen Stewart Thinks About Her Sex Scenes?

Kristen Stewart Has a Lot of Thought About Being Nude on Screen

It’s safe to say that it can be hard to read Kristen Stewart’s emotions sometimes. She tends have a similar facial expression for just about everything. But when it comes to being nude on screen, she actually has quite a lot of feelings.  

Kristen Stewart’s newest film Personal Shopper is about the “fashion underworld” in Paris. While I’ll admit I didn’t know there was much of an underworld of fashion, but after a little thought it makes sense – everything has an underworld. Anyway, the film has a couple of nude scenes and sex scenes, which to some might seem "risqué", but to Stewart it was no big deal. As she put it in an interview with W Magazine:  

I feel super great with director Olivier [Assayas], as well. The scenes in which I don’t have clothes on or the scenes that seem "risqué" from an outsider’s perspective, there was no acknowledgment on his part. They’re very fucking French. We are weirder about shit like that. You kind of have to take yourself personally out of it.

My personal feeling about that is that I’m really unashamed, but within the context of the story, there’s a lot of shame. She lives and breathes fucking shame and guilt. And so it’s kind of nice to see someone stripped and bare, totally bare. There’s a strength in it. There’s an aspect of sexuality in the movie that’s so lonely and that is just one of the saddest things. She’s not with anyone. Like the sex scene? Totally alone. She’s interacting with a fake person on a phone. And there’s just something so fucking raw about it, and without that stuff it would be a different thing.

I think people are way, way, way too precious about that. It is precious, that’s probably the wrong word to use. I still want women’s bodies and the way they want to reveal them, it should be a precious thing, I don’t want to de-sexualize it in some way. But at the same time, I’m not weird about it. I’m pretty open. I think people are a little too fucking weird about it, to be honest, but that’s kind of why I was like, “I’ll do it.”  

Phone sex with a fake person, you say? Now I’m going to have to buy to ticket to see that scene. Personal Shopper won’t hit theatres until 2017 - sorry if we got you all excited. If you want to read the rest of the interview, head over to W Magazine.
