Kristen Stewart And Dakota Fanning On 'Runaways' Kissing Scene: It Was 'Not Done For Shock Value'

"New Moon” costars Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning have taken a bit of a detour from their vampire-inspired acting skills and brought it to a whole new level at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. Though the duo shares an onscreen kiss in the rock-and-roll indie flick “The Runaways,” the two insist that it wasn’t much of a big deal, in their eyes.




MTV News caught up with the ladies in Park City to ask them about their roles in the film. "I don't think it was ever a big deal to me," explained Dakota, who plays Runaways lead singer Cherie Currie, adding that having Cherie and Joan Jett (Kristen) kiss in the film "was just a thing, another day" for the characters.

Kristen agreed with her pal insisting that the kiss was just a part of the script and not done for shock value. "It was never a big deal to me either ... especially the way it was written into the story and the way it wasn't, 'And they finally get together,' " she explained.

KStew also went on to explain that the kiss was merely a reflection of the girls’ friendship in the film, and it isn’t really as controversial as it sounds. "It's like it was just one night, and they have such an awesome bond that's so cool to observe, so the fact that they made out when they were teenagers has nothing to do with it."
