KRISTEN STEWART is frequently embarrassed by her father as he insists on boasting about the family connection to everyone he meets.

The Twilight star has previously spoken of her struggle to cope with fame, but her dad John Stewart is not so shy when it comes to name-dropping.

She tells U.S talk show host Conan O'Brien, "My dad is a total fame whore. He will go anywhere, even if I am not with him, and he will go 'Hi, I'm John Stewart, father of Kristen. Have you ever seen Twilight? Well that's my kid.' and I am like, 'Dad, we're on a plane, keep your voice down!'. It's the most embarrassing thing in the world."
