Kristen Stewart has been discussing her positive experience with a recent sex scene from her latest movie ‘Love Lies Bleeding’. The Twilight star says she has struggled with sex scenes in the past, but this one felt more ‘free’.
The 33-year-old actress stars in the new crime thriller set in the 80s, with Katy O’Brian also featuring, while Rose Glass is the director. The film, which premiered in January, has received positive views, particularly for the authenticity and chemistry in the relationship between Stewart and O’Brian.

That, in large part, is thanks to the intimacy coordinator of the movie, according to Stewart, who has opened up on the experience of acting out the sex scenes.
“It felt free,” she told Yahoo. “I know people are like, ‘Oh, it just hinders what you can do’ and didn’t. No, I was into it. It’s almost like having a nice open conversation about like what you all want and then, so you can have really good sex.”
Speaking about previous experiences, she added: “I’ve always just been sort of thrown into [sex scenes]. Every scene usually is just – they begin kissing, maybe someone says something, they fall down, they begin to make love.
“And then you’re like, cool so it’s just a free-for-all, huh? Like, no one knows where anything’s going? We didn’t do it like that at all. There’s a precision to the scene, there’s a real power play dynamic thing happening, and so in order for that to really land and not us just being self-conscious face-smushers, it was directed pretty finitely.”
Stewart sheds on light on what drew her to the project
Speaking about the movie more generally, Stewart continued: “I read the script and just thought it was really bold, and scary, and funny, and hot and a movie that felt like from a different time.
“In the ’80s, there was an audaciousness and like a sort of lack of fear. I don’t know, not lack of fear, just sort of an intensity that we’ve lost a bit. Like our edges have been dulled a bit in trying to be more considerate and nice to each other – which I am all about. But also we are monsters because we’re humans.
“It’s important to not make movies about, especially queer people, that are strictly just sort of just teaching lessons and trying to be good all around, moral compass people. So I was like this is good, this is fun.”
