Actress Kristen Stewart will appear nude in her new film Welcome to The Rileys. The Twilight star plays a young lap dancer plus prostitute, and walks around naked in many scenes in James Gandolfini's new flick.

Apparently, the teenage star was a little nervous to film the scenes, and so she asked her Twilight co-star Nikki Reed to join her on the set of the film in New Orleans, Louisiana. "I’m going with Kristen to New Orleans... while she’s shooting and I’m a Good  support system... I have to go to be with Kristen," Contactmusic quoted Reed as telling.

But Stewart is excited about the film and feels that her nude shots will lure her fans to theatres. She said: "It's an independent movie that nobody would normally see and now it’s like, Oh, let’s go see Bella (Twilight  character) in this stripper movie; it’ll be crazy!”

Also, Kristen is delighted to work with the Sopranos star and considers the role in the film to be the hardest she has ever done. She added: “Working with James Gandolfini and (co-star) Melissa Leo , who is just incredible, was the most fruitful life-changing experience on a movie that I've ever had.

"It was just the hardest subject matter I've ever had to deal with - I play a very broken young girl who is a runaway. She’s a street kid. She’s working in a strip club and James Gandolfini’s character is just as dead inside as she is - and they wake each other up."
