JOAN JETT is thrilled to hear TWILIGHT star KRISTEN STEWART will play her in an upcoming biopic – because she thinks the actress has the “right energy” to play the part.
Stewart will play the I Love Rock & Roll hitmaker in new film The Runaways, and the real Jett couldn’t be happier.
She says, “When her hair is cut and with the right make-up, Kristen should make a really good me.”
The odd couple has already had a chance to jam together, and Jett is impressed with the young star’s musical skills: “She sounded great and played well.“She has the passion for it, which you can’t really be taught.”
