Actress-turned-rocker Juliette Lewis takes a tumble whilst trying a spot of snowboarding in northern Italy.

Her band The Licks are headlining the Rock The Spot snowboarding tour in Turin and the 34-year-old decided to join in the fun on the slopes.

Lewis - a Scientologist - is clearly a fan of extreme sports, she was previously married to professional skateboarder Steve Berr and is also a former girlfriend of Brad Pitt.

Hitting a bum note: Juliette topples on the slopes

Although she has appeared in over 50 films and been nominated for an Academy Award, Lewis says she always wanted to be a singer:

"I was singing before I acted, but I was also attracted to drama, and, y'know, I got successful at that, which isn't a bad thing." She recently admitted.

"In my other career I've never been 'the favourite'. I'm used to being the underdog.

"I like that in music, too, having to work my a** off and prove myself."
