Dakota Fanning wants to star in the next Twilight movie because she has a crush on series star Robert Pattinson.

According to Star Magazine, the 14-year-old child star is smitten with the hunky 22-year-old actor, who played Edward Cullen in the first film, and is desperate to land the role of Vulturi vampire Jane in the sequel New Moon so she can get close to the heartthrob.

“Dakota is very determined, and she gets what she wants.”

“Right now she has her focus on Robert. Even though she knows she’s too young for anything serious with Robert, she likes to flirt. She just wants to have some fun!”

Dakota has revealed she is close to getting the coveted part and is very excited about the possibility of playing a villain.
