Kristen Stewart ended up soaking wet after refusing to wear a protective mac during a jet boat ride – proving that trying to look cool doesn’t always pay.

She might have avoided being snapped in a baggy red jacket, but as a result the actress left the ride looking like a drowned rat.

But that seemed to be her plan, as she reportedly told the driver to allow ‘more water’ into the boat after loving the ‘hardcore’ action ride.

‘She wanted to get wetter because they don’t have anything like it in America and thought it was hardcore’, as spokesperson for OZ Jet Boating said.

Luckily she had her hunky Twilight co-star Taylor Lautner to keep her company and the pair eventually docked in Sydney’s harbour.

The teen icons were in Australia ahead of the latest instalment of the Twilight saga being released in June.

But despite their huge worldwide fan following, Stewart and Lautner ran away from fans and paparazzi as they jumped off the jet boat.

And while on the promotional trip for Eclipse with Lautner, she has already given paparazzi a piece of her mind.

One fan told the Herald Sun that she swore at photographers before running away yelling ‘stop taking my picture’.

And as the brunette duo ran away, we couldn’t help but wonder where Kristen’s boyfriend Robert Pattinson was.

Earlier in the week, Eclipse, won the most anticipated movie of the summer award at the National Movie Awards, New Moon also picked up ‘best fantasy film’ and Robert Pattinson won best performance for his role as Edward Cullen.
