As The Runaways continues to gather buzz after its debut at the Sundance Film Festival, Kristen Stewart, 20, and Dakota Fanning, 15,  continue to address all the grown-up or edgy stuff they’re doing in the movie. The actresses star as members of the 70’s all girl band, The Runaways, Stewart as guitarist Joan Jett and Fanning as singer Cherie Currie.

First they talked about the lesbian love scene (it was no big deal, they said, while Currie herself has said it was “overplayed”). Now it’s the drugs. The Runways features the two New Moon stars snorting cocaine in a bathroom. Explanations are in order, since, as MTV points out many a young girl might look up to Stewart and Fanning as role models.

Again, it’s all par for the course. “I’ve been exposed to everything under the [sun],” Stewart told MTV. “I think that if you don’t realize the people you look up to [are just acting, that's a problem]. This is also a really hard question for me.”

“This is [about] real people,” Fanning said, defending the scenes. “This is their real experience.

“It’s the story,” she added. “[Us doing drugs] is just about finding the beats, you know what I mean?”
