Joan Jett Makes K-Stew Cry

It’s no cake walk playing a young Joan Jett, Kristen Stewart has come to find out. Especially since Joan Jett is alive, and very particular about how she wants to be portrayed. Well, obviously. Wouldn’t you?

NY Daily News reports that while filming the biopic The Runaways last week, Jett pushed K-Stew to her breaking point. She cried.

“Joan just wants Kristen to play an authentic version of herself, so she needled her a little bit too much. But she apologized when she realized how upset Kristen got.”

Doesn’t Joan Jett pretty much have the right to be particularly picky about how she’s portrayed? I guess she doesn’t have to be a jerk about it, but maybe this will strengthen Kristen’s performance a bit. Or a lot. Hopefully a lot. We don’t need a Bella Swan with a mullet.
