Kristen Stewart shows off her Mustang-racing skills in Rolling Stones clip
If Kristen Stewart got to direct herself in a movie, she'd probably spend it roaring around in a sports car, smoking cigarettes while dancing in a parking lot and almost beating up a drifter with a crowbar
And in a new clip for the Rolling Stones' Ride Em On Down, her first time appearing in a music video, Stewart gets to indulge all her rock 'n' roll fantasies, tearing a blue Mustang through the abandoned streets of Los Angeles.
The Stones' new album, Blue & Lonesome, is a collection of blues covers, and the new clip is fittingly stylish, thanks to camera work by Newton Thomas Sigel, whose previous work includes Drive and Usual Suspects.
The whole thing could be Drive's spiritual sequel, with Stewart's ride — and her lollipop — the same color as the Stones' new album cover, featuring their iconic logo.
