Kristen Stewart is in wicked trouble now. Something called the Culture and Media Institute is having a big problem with her role in On The Road, which premiered this week in Cannes.
Apparently the Culture and Media Institute believes that womenfolk actress types should only play chaste infantilized characters forever and ever.
According to radaronline, Dan Gainor of the CMI says, “In the film On The Road, Kristen Stewart engages in a threesome and masturbates two male characters according to reports. How will parents who took their daughters to see the Twilight movies explain this?”
Leaving aside the preposterous idea that it’s someone else’s responsibility to step in when you’re unable to make your mouth form the words needed to explain the facts of life to your children, what about Robert Pattinson’s turn in the — by all accounts — equally depraved Cosmopolis? What? Hmmm? Also: Are the parents, who took their daughters to see Twilight aware that in Breaking Dawn a grown man falls in love with a baby?
Not a mention. Let’s instead hear what he has to say about the behaviour of grown women:
“We’ve watched and been saddened by the parade of former Disney stars getting used, so that any wholesome image they have is destroyed — Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Miley Cyrus and more.
“But it’s not just them. It’s a common theme from actresses like Elizabeth Berkley from Saved by the Bell who appeared in the tawdry Showgirls or Anne Hathaway who went from every girl’s dream role model in the Princess Diaries to a nude scene with Jake Gyllenhaal in Love and Other Drugs.” Showgirls tawdry? Wash out your mouth.
“Then there’s Jessica Alba who grew up from appearing in the TV show Flipper to a starring role in the sick and abusive The Killer Inside Me.”
Meanwhile, Stewart said about filming the scene with Garrett Hedlund and Sam Riley, "I wanted to do [the scene]. I love pushing. I love scaring myself. I've always wanted to get as close to an experience as I could."
