Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning share a kiss in their new movie, The Runaways, but there’s no groping. There are laws against that sort of thing.

Stewart,19, explained to Access Hollywood at the press junket for the film, “She was 15, and I wasn’t allowed to grope her,” adding, “I’m actually not kidding, there are major restrictions that I don’t remember [from] when I was younger.

“I don’t want to give anything way. It’s a really passionate, hardcore scene,” she continued, before backpedalling: “No, it’s just a kiss. It’s not really a big deal.”

The two play members of the 1970s all-girl rock band, The Runaways. Stewart is Joan Jett and Fanning is Cherie Currie.

“It’s just something that happened in their lives,” Dakota told Access Hollywood of the kissing scene. “In the script, it’s not like a big build up or something that they talk about afterwards.”

Regardless, it’s getting a lot of press. And one person who apparently thought the portrayal of the lesbian relationship was a bit much was Currie herself.

In a January interview with HitFix.com, Currie, who has mostly positive things to say about the movie, said the romance was “a little overplayed.”

And it’s not the only thing that’s a little overplayed. In one scene the girls are reportedly put through a rock and roll boot camp that involves getting trash and dog poo thrown at them by teenage boys. According to Currie, that didn’t happen either. “We would have drawn the line there,” she sensibly told Hitfix.

All in all Currie said the film was “a parallel narrative, as Joan puts it. It’s not the real story, but it’s not far from the story either.”
