Kristen voices her political beliefs without fear

Kristen Stewart said that she speaks out her political beliefs publicly without hesitation. She gave this statement at the press conference of her new film.

Venice: Actor Kristen Stewart said that she voices her political beliefs firmly in public without being afraid of anyone.

"It's not hard for me to wear my politics. It shows up in the work I do… (and) in the conversations that I have. I like that interaction. I'm so lucky to have it!" Stewart said at the press conference of her new film Seberg at the ongoing Venice Film Festival.

The actor's comment came in the wake of a question from the media whether film actors at all need to involve themselves in politics and political causes.

Seberg is a political thriller directed by Benedict Andrews that narrates the story of iconic actor Jean Seberg, best recalled for her classic performance in Jean-Luc Godard's arthouse gem Breathless.

Seberg's supporting the Black Panther Party and her closeness to civil rights activist Hakim Jamal, saw the FBI illegally put her under their surveillance program.

Stewart, who plays Jean Seberg in the film, is also known for her outspokenness. In 2017, she declared she is bisexual.
