More KStew as Joan Jett... Can't get enough!



Daily Mail has a story on how Kristen is becoming Joan Jett... she's go thte look and the 'tude.... she knows how to play guitar, and honestly, as I *KEEP* saying - I reallly am excited to see Kristen in this role, I think it's just so perfect for her :)

From Daily Mail:

Kristen said: 'I'm just listening to her music all the time. I'm trying to just make myself aware of the time period and what she was going through.
'It's one of the most immense responsibilities to play a real person. Her story's important. It's an incredibly triumphant feminist story really.
'She's the first woman to ever start her own record label. So many people know her as just being like one of the coolest people to ever live. That in itself is one of the most intimidating things that I've ever had to confront but she's so cool too.'
Joan is equally enthusiastic about Kristen: 'When her hair is cut and with the right make-up, Kristen should make a really good me. 'She sounded great and played well (on the guitar). She has the passion for it, which you can't really be taught.'

The pair originally met over New Year's to discuss the film before Kristen was formally cast in the role.
