If Kristen Stewart wants to give up acting, there’s a career waiting for her on the stage.
The “Twilight” star, 20, was offered a job as a stripper while researching her latest role, she said recently. In her latest movie, “Welcome To The Rileys”, she plays a 16-year-old exotic dancer, research for which had her visiting strip clubs with director Jake Scott.
Right away, she says, the club management wanted to know if she wanted a job – without recognising who she was.
“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,” she said.
Stewart, who is reportedly set to marry “Twilight” co-star Robert Pattinson, said she was left covered in bruises while rehearsing for her role – which required her to perfect the art of dancing around a metal pole.
'I pole-danced for two weeks,' she said. 'I had bruises all over my legs… it hurts!,' she said.
The film tells the story of a damaged man on a business trip to New Orleans – James Gandolfini's Doug Riley – who seeks salvation by caring for a wayward young woman – Kristen's character Mallory.
