Kristen Stewart who plays Bella in the Twilight films has revealed that motorcycle riding terrifies her, despite being shot on a dirt bike during the most recent movie instalment.
The 19-year-old actress may have excited bike insurance policyholders when she was depicted riding a dirt bike during filming for New Moon, but has confessed that she is scared of being on a bike in real life.
While many bike insurance policyholders may enjoy the thrill that riding can bring, Stewart told Starpulse.com that she is fearful of cars, let alone motorcycles.
"I'm definitely never going to be a biker," she added.
While the scenes of the actress on a bike in New Moon may appear convincing, she recently revealed that they were far from the real deal, confessing that during filming of the dirt bike riding she "got pulled on a motorbike that had this big, dorky training wheel on it."
Stewart went on to say that she was towed on the back of the truck for the scenes and "probably looked funny doing it".
The actress added that she has ridden on the back of a motorcycle before as a pillion and found the experience unpleasantly "precarious".
