Fanning Has No Plans To Launch Music Career
By WENNMonday, March 15, 2010
DAKOTA FANNING has rejected offers to launch a singing career after playing THE RUNAWAYS singer CHERIE CURRIE in a new biopic - insisting she’d faint if she had to perform her own music.
The 16 year old used her own vocals to portray Currie in the upcoming movie, which co-stars Kristen Stewart as singer/guitarist Joan Jett.
But the actress insists fans shouldn’t get there hopes up for her music debut, insisting she’ll only ever sing on the big screen.
She says, “I never thought of myself as a singer. I’ve always been kind of self-conscious about singing but I’ve realised if I’m playing a character I can do it because I kind of get to hide behind her a little bit. But just as Dakota Fanning, I would pass out.”
