Kristen Stewart's upcoming movie "On the Road" got mixed reviews coming out of Cannes, but here's one reason why some people might want to see it: she appears topless in the film.

But, the 22-year-old doesn't think the nudity was a big deal. "It didn't bother me," she told MTV News as the Toronto International Film Festival. "You can do no wrong with [director Walter Salles]. He puts so much inside of you. In the four-week rehearsal process, it was OK to ask any question, to bring up any story, to really overanalyze everything and intellectualize everything.

"Once we got on set, it was so about just breathing and letting it happen. He put so much trust in us," she continued. "So it was like, 'OK, so I have to take my clothes off?' It's so not a big [deal]."

That said, she's glad she's 22 now, as opposed to 17, the age she was when she agreed to play Marylou in the movie adaptation of Jack Kerouac's classic novel.

"I should have definitely been older than 17 while playing this part, absolutely," she told MTV. "[My performance] would have been done very differently if I was younger. I wouldn't have played the part, obviously." Do you agree with K-Stew that going topless for the right movie is "no big deal"?

    that was way way way before now......when people were almost equal to animals....we had not developed a proper sense of intelligence and rational thinking....and now as we are regarded as the most (so-called) intelligent being on earth, and also because people DO regard going nude as shame,according to me, it IS shameless...For instance would you not feel any shame going nude infront of the public? even if you say you won't, I wouldn't believe you.

    I would be feel shame for the 'gut' that I have, but not for my body. The human body is a beautiful work of art and one should not feel ashamed for what they have.

    Oh god!!!! I didn't say that one should be ashamed of one's body now did I? I just said that according to me that was not appropriate well atleast for a person who's probably a rolemodel for many many many people out there...but thats just my opinion...maybe its just cuz I'm asian and born and raised in a hindu family so our society's not as open as in America.

    I was only giving an example where I put myself as that example... sorry for the confusion.

    Yes, as a role-model, but a good role model is always good to show people not to be embarrassed with what they have either clothed or in the nude.

    And there are Americans (well, people from the USA) that are like you who feel more traditional with themselves and others. You are not alone

    Why should anyone feel shame about their bodies?

    Read my reply again....carefully at that...I don't think I said that one should be ashamed of their body. Atleast I didn't mean that. Maybe you misunderstood me. Sorry, I didn't mean that.

    " I know its not a big deal on beaches and stuffs but people surely feel something...there must be some shame in them."

    Your words. You implied that people must feel some shame for showing their bodies.

    ummmm....What I intended to say was 1st of all, If god gifted you with such a wonderful thing....it doesnot always mean that you should show it in the public and 2nd of all, she shouldn't be doing that as being a role-model for many people. For instance: would entertain your own daughter showing her breasts in public.....I don't think so.

    "What I intended to say was 1st of all, If god gifted you with such a wonderful thing....it doesnot always mean that you should show it in the public"

    That doesn't make any sense. If you believe that god gave you a beautiful body, why would showing it in public be shameful?

    "2nd of all, she shouldn't be doing that as being a role-model for many people."

    Why not? What's wrong with nudity? It's humanity's natural state. We're not born with clothes on.

    The point I'm trying to make is that there's nothing intrinsically shameful or immoral about nudity. You feel the way you do because society as a whole tells you you should. It was how you were raised. It doesn't mean you're right and everyone who doesn't agree with you is wrong or shameless.

    As for your question about my theoretical daughter, once she's an adult she can do whatever she wants.

    Ok....look this is exactly what I was talkin about. Yes,you're right. I have been brought up in a society where wearing clothes even shorter than knee-length is considered vulgar...so me and my thinking about 'nudity' is well....bad. Its considered as a taboo in my place so I am the same. Yes, I agree with you others aren't wrong as well...everyone has different opinions and I respect yours. So I'm sorry if what I said was wrong in your eyes but it wasn't in mine.

    The world has moved past your definition of morality in regards to nudity and skin, though. That's my point. Your ideas about it belong to an era that's gone.

    What you make of that is up to you, but it's plainly true.
  • beliebe... Heptarch 2012/09/20 06:46:13
    belieber_shianna
    Maybe so....but I don't think you should be talkin 'bout the entire world....Half of Asia is still reallllyyyy strict 'bout that ( movies don't count as they're not totally true) ...talkin 'bout movies in my place where yes, they show stuffs that are not true, and so I don't think the entire world has 'moved on'. but thats just my opinion and I haven't moved on just like the rest of my people in my place.

    Pretty much the entire Western world has, though. And that's where you and I live.

    You may be right....but my opinion has still not changed...but I still didn't intend to say that we should be ashamed of our body though it sounded that way.

    Aaaaaah sorry about intercepting but its not about nudity, its about class in film and acting no matter who's naked; its just skin without cloth covering. But the essence is what happen to making movies with real storylines that can be classics for years. All that's being put out by majority film makers are one time movies that people pay their money to be entertained visually, and end up disappointed.
    No its not about wearing skinsuits (Naked or Nude same thing) in the movies, and its not about her either; its about how bout making some quality movies instead of overpaying folks who don't know how to act in movies and in real life as in social ettiquette.

    I would argue that while some modern films are just trash, there are just as many or more that are better films than "classics".

    Amanda Seyfried once stated that she doesn't mind showing her body nude on the big screen when she did "Chloe"... she was fine with because it is just the human nature for her. Others are like you, they see it shameless OR others don't show it because there are a lot of perverts out there.

    Also, there are many groups around the world that are called "Nudists" where they live Free Nude around others just like them because they accept for who they are and have freedom over it
