Kristen Stewart helped MTV News kick off our Sneak Peek Week in style when she and "Snow White and the Huntsman" co-star Sam Claflin joined our own Josh Horowitz for a fun-filled chat Tuesday night, during which she revealed that not only is she learning French, she's also recently given up a very bad habit.
The "Twilight" starlet decided to learn the foreign language while filming the much-anticipated adaptation of Jack Kerouac's beat generation classic "On the Road," which just premiered at the Cannes Film Festival.
"On 'On the Road,' everyone spoke French. We were primarily in Montreal," Stewart told MTV News. "I spent so much time ... and I was just, like, feeling so pathetic. Not only is it a very dope language, it's more like I really want to be able to talk to a few people so badly."
And while her coolness has never been in question, the busy actress apparently felt a little insecure about her cred while trekking around Paris unable to speak the language. "When I'm in Paris, I feel like I could be so much [cooler]. I'm like, 'Wow, I could be so cool.' So that's the main inspiration," she said.
When chastised about one Parisian habit she adopted a while back, smoking cigarettes, Stewart was quick to reveal that she has apparently given it up — though she didn't want to talk too much about her health-conscious move for fear of jinxing herself.
"You can't acknowledge it or else suddenly ... you can't think about it," the slightly rattled actress confessed amid a loud round of applause for her achievement.
Stewart will take the stage with her "Huntsman" co-stars Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth as presenters at the 2012 MTV Movie Awards on Sunday. "Huntsman," which hits theaters Friday, kicked off our MTV Sneak Peek Week, which will also include exclusive peeks at some of the summer's hottest films, from "That's My Boy" (Wednesday) and "Magic Mike" (Thursday) to "Rock of Ages" (Friday), as well as nightly chats with their casts live from the 5 Towers on Universal CityWalk. Tune in to MTV at 11 p.m. ET each night as the casts introduce an exclusive clip from their movies, and join us at MTV.com for a live Q&A with the actors. You can also join the conversation yourself on Twitter using the hashtag #MTVSneak.
Stewart is also, once again, a contender for the golden popcorn for Best Kiss for her smooch with Robert Pattinson in "Breaking Dawn - Part 1."
The Russell Brand-hosted show is set to feature performances by Fun., Wiz Khalifa, the Black Keys and house DJ Martin Solveig.
