Little known fact about Jennifer Stone? She auditioned for the role of Joan Jett in The Runaways!

The 17-year-old actress dished to JJJ at Disney’s Friends For Change shoot yesterday afternoon that she actually auditioned for the part that ultimately went to Kristen Stewart.

Jennifer shared, “I’ve always loved Joan Jett and when I heard Kristen Stewart got the part, I was like, ‘Totally get that.’ She did a phenomenal job. I watched a lot of Joan’s YouTube videos to get in the mindset of the part. She’s such a great role model for young girls that I didn’t want to screw anything up. I’m so happy Kristen got that part.”

When we asked if she would recast the movie, Jenn told us, “I wouldn’t recast. It was flawless. Everyone — Dakota Fanning and Kristen, did a fantastic job. There isn’t anyone who I’d recast.”

Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning, who star together in the coming film The Runaways, may make an appearance on the red carpet at this year's Sydney Film Festival.

The movie will make its Australian premiere during the annual festival, which runs from June 2 to 14. A source close to the organisers has revealed talks are taking place for a possible visit from Stewart and Fanning.

Scottish star Ewan McGregor may also be in talks to visit for the premiere of his new film The Ghost Writer, but a publicist for the festival would not say anything official yet: "Regarding Kristen, Dakota and Ewan . . . unfortunately we cannot confirm anything at this stage.

Stewart stars as '70s rock legend Joan Jett in the biopic film and Fanning plays Cherie Currie, the lead singer of Jett's band. The pair even share an on-screen kiss.

McGregor, meanwhile, stars in The Ghost Writer as an author penning the memoirs of a former prime minister of Britain, played by Pierce Brosnan.

Also adding to the buzz surrounding the festival, British graffiti artist Banksy is rumoured to be staging a stunt for the premiere of his film Exit Through the Gift Shop.
