Kristen Freaked Out Producers With New Hairdo

When Kristen Stewart used her break between “Twilight” projects to shoot “The Runaways,” she changed more than characters. To portray punk rocker Joan Jett, K-Stew swapped the flowing locks she wore as Bella for a dyed black shag. RadarOnline reports the actress was fine with the change, but the producers of the vampire franchise weren’t so sure.

“I knew I could still play Bella and not have to feel the sweat running down my head to make me feel I was doing something real. I knew I could wear a wig and still play her. And I knew if I was going to fit ‘The Runaways’ into this time frame that they were going to just have to deal with it.” Kristen did manage to placate the nervous “New Moon” execs.

“That was something they were initially scared about, but it ended up being totally fine. And it gave me an opportunity to do something different in between. Hopefully people can understand that.” Smart girl—you don’t want to get typecast at 19!
