Kristen has been out and about at the Cannes Film Festival to promote her new movie, an adaptation of the Jack Kerouac classic On The Road.

In the film, Kristen Stewart plays LuAnne Henderson, who married Neal Cassady at the age of 15 before divorcing him and becoming his mistress. Kristen stars alongside Brit actor Sam Riley as well as Kirsten Dunst, Viggo Mortensen and Sienna Miller's other half, Tom Sturridge.

Some sections of the new film are a little risque to say the least, but Kristen, whose boyfriend and Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson is also in Cannes, said she wasn't at all nervous about shooting the sex scenes.

Kristen told reporters: 'Obviously everyone who does scenes like that, the first thing you say is: 'Oh I felt so safe.''

'But I love pushing,' Kristen goes on: 'I love scaring myself and I think to watch genuine experience on screen is so much more interesting. I wanted to do it!'

'As long as you're always really honest there's never really anything to be ashamed of.'
