GARRETT HEDLUND TALKS DOING SCENE WITH KRISTEN - OTR

E!Online

Thankfully, Robert Pattinson doesn't seem like the jealous type.

Because if he was… He may have a problem watching the upcoming movie adaptation of Jack Kerouac's On the Road.

As y'all know, Kristen Stewart stars in the Walter Salles-directed film opposite Country Strong's hunk of hotness Garrett Hedlund. The two do lock lips in the flick. "There's a few," Hedlund tells me of his and K.Stew's more intimate scenes.

However, what will make the cut is anybody's guess. Hedlund insists, "Walter didn't even watch dailies while we were filming," he says. "You know, there just wasn't the budget for it. We just kept pushing forward and pushing forward."

So when will we see the movie? "I think the end of the year or early next year," he divulges.

It's been quite a few months for Mr. Hedlund. Not only was the Minnesota native in Country Strong, he also held his own opposite Jeff Bridges in the Tron sequel.

He's taking a break right now, but says he'd love to work with True Grit directors Joel and Ethan Coen. "They're just two of the greatest people I've ever met," he says.

"And," he adds with a big Midwestern smile, "they're from Minnesota!"

SAM RILEY TALKS BOUT KRISTEN AND 'ON THE ROAD'

If Riley relished Mirren's being playful, he sounds less enamoured with the project he has just finished. For the past six months he has been travelling all over America, shooting Walter Salles' adaptation of Jack Kerouac's On the Road. As Sal Paradise, Kerouac's autobiographical narrator, Riley heads a cast that includes Garrett Hedlund and Kristen Stewart.

Riley had to get fit – "my mum calls me a streak of piss" – and spend four weeks in a beatnik bootcamp. He pulls a face. "Don't fucking ask." Did they all get stoned? "We were allowed to, but not encouraged. I'm a 30-year-old who used to smoke for breakfast, but the Americans smoke super-strength skunk so I stuck to my hash. Kerouac experts talked to us, we watched films, learned the difference between Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie."

And how was Stewart, star of the Twilight films, one of the biggest – and, according to the tabloids who won't leave her alone – grumpiest actors in the world? "She's just 20! The tabloids can fuck off! She wasn't grumpy at all. She was a bit of a Rapunzel character in her hotel suite, not wanting to come to the bar to spend all evening having her photo taken."
