It's SO refreshing to see a child star who grew up to be a normal, functional adult, still acting, so naturally talented, NOT a nepo baby, totally unproblematic, just a normal person with a good head on her shoulders who happens to be a famous actress. And to top it off she's talented and she makes great film choices. She's a rare gem in a town like Hollywood. If more actors were like her, people wouldn't hate celebrities so much.
she stayed in a house with her mum when filming......imo contributes towards her being normal and functional! all these messed up kids usually have parents that let them go off and do whatever with whoever 😔
She said it, she was protected during interview with the vampire… its a testament to her parents doing it right and having standards and controls in place for her
It sounds like she also got lucky enough to work on sets that were not toxic, dysfunctional, or predatory. If only every child (and actor in general) had those same supportive experiences.
So...Drew Barrymore, Macauley Culkin, Brooke Shields, Corey Haim etc - if they only had the right attitude...? It has more to do with the attitude of those around them. The entertainment industry can a dangerous place for kids!
It's really nice to hear that Kirsten wasn't exposed to inappropriate ideas unnecessarily while filming Interview. What a fantastic careers. We are lucky to have had her talent.
The biggest difference between her and other child stars I noticed, is a pattern of her being VERY protected by cast, crew, and her mother. It takes a village they do say and she was lucky to be surrounded by great people not just professionally but personally as well.
I remember Taylor swift saying her mom was with her every step of the way. Her dad too when he was able to be. But yeah obviously having parental oversight is sooooo important
For the former child actors who are typical, healthy adults (who may still be in the industry), I notice they have the same experiences of being super protected on sets. They didn’t know all the drama, they weren’t going out, they had their parents on set at all times. But the sets themselves were kid-friendly. I also don’t think there are a LOT of former child actors who went off the rails, we just obviously hear about the ones who did. But most of them are functional, regular adults, whether or not they continued in the tv and film industries.
i noticed this too but also had the thought of her mentioning it so much that she’s scared to say anything but what she says, i hope not bc it’s refreshing to hear !!
The way she comes across in this interview is so relaxed and natural. I feel like we're two parents at our kids' baseball game and we're sitting in the stands talking about work and she just happens to have an exponentially more interesting job than me.
"I was playing with Barbies for probably far too long" I so relate to her on this, & as an adult, really, really am thankful for this. Far too often little girls try to grow up too quickly, to adulthood & past childhood, for which you can never get back. So I'm very thankful for my late blooming, as it was. Knowing now that i can never rewind the clock, this is something I'll eternally b grateful for. The fact that Kirsten was, on some level, the same, is quite extraordinary, given her industry surroundings.
You know how refreshing it is to hear a woman who is humble yet has confidence in herself?!? The Spider-Man audition story when she goes back in the room for her CD case, and then said she could tell from the looks on their faces, she had the role and thought, “You did it, you nailed it”…..I love that she said that bc so many women feel like they have to play coy when they’re amazing at something. Very cool person and exactly why I loved her growing up…relatable and confident. Love her.
I was coming here to make almost this EXACT COMMENT. Too often female celebrities seem to feel like they can’t accept their well-earned compliments because they’ll be accused of “having an ego”, or they feel like they need to go far to the other end of the spectrum, which is self-confidence to the point of disregarding all the people and circumstances that helped support them getting to where they are. Kirsten Dunst balances this beautifully. Confidence, gratitude, pride in her work ethic, well aware of the opportunities afforded to her… incredibly refreshing, I agree!
She's truly a natural beauty and it's refreshing, not even a bit of lip filler. Her small lips fit her face perfectly. Compared to all the other aging stars, she's unique and has aged so gracefully.
The first film I would've seen her in and I didn't even realise it was her, can't believe they skipped it. Was the only film I came here to see her talk about.
She is so amazing in "Interview With The Vampire"! At such a young age, she was incredible! Gave a very intense performance. Happy to see how well she was treated on that set!
Maguire's Spiderman ruined my childhood. The Maguire spiderman/Peter Parker was intentionally designed to ruin a young boy's confidence and self esteem. Back when I was a child, the Maguire Kristen trilogy gave me a false picture of ideal male behaviour when it comes to relationships with women. Maguire's Peter was a loser and Dunst's MJ was everything a man should run away from. Instead my early childhood self falsely assumed these two were the ideal man and woman. Never show your sons the Maguire version. It'll 100 percent deplete their confidence. Show them the Garfield version instead. Garfield's Peter is what young men should aspire to be (I'm not blaming the actors in any way. They're just actors following the director's orders. I'm talking about the characters they played)
*EVERYONE went on about Leo not having an Oscar and rightly so, but Kirsten hasn’t really had ANY AWARDS and she’s an amazing actress. She’s not just an amazing actress, she’s an amazing CHILD actress to adult actress. The fact that she could act so well and show so many emotions in her face and tone etc just shows how great she is. I just hope she does an Oscar worthy movie too, soon, and wins in. She deserves it*
She is truly awesome, talented and someone I truly admire. For her to be in the business so young and into adulthood and not have one negative story about her. Kudos to both her and her parents. Her performance in interview with a vampire is truly something . Especially when she calls Lestat the father of all lies.
She was overlooked for so long, even with that incredible filmography under her belt. I have a feeling she's now finally entering a period, post-ingenue, where she'll be getting her proper dues.
@@TMV420 I know awards are not important if the movie connects with an audience, but only one Oscar nomination? And being known as Mary Jane for so long with that many impecable performances even as a child? I usted to think some actors deserved more. I'm tired of these new faces EVERYWHERE when people like her seem overlooked. But then I understood that some actors love the craft and aren't as mediatic, that's why we don't hear about them so often, they aren't craving attention. Good for them for not playing the Hollywood game
Hollywood keeps striking out on finding a new generation of stars that they can’t help but revisit people who should have been bigger anyway. With that said, I think Kirsten was pretty big and not as overlooked as you said, because she was in EVERYTHING which kinda proves how untrue that is.
@@frankknudsen8803LMAO WHAT? If anything Peter Parker is the one who comes across as borderline bipolar and unreliable (if you view it from anyone else’s perspective) constantly playing with her feelings every time he gets.

But yeah aside from us the audience knowing that Peter is Spiderman i can definitely see his character coming off as unreliable.
@@ZodsSnappedNeckPeter made it clear to her he didn’t want a relationship with her, and then she kept flirting with him at the beginning of spider man 2, and after she’s like “oh yeh I have a boyfriend now too lol” and she gets engaged to him just to make Peter Jealous, she didn’t even want to marry him. She also made her boyfriend kiss her in the upside down position to compare it to kissing spider man 😂😂😂

A lot of actors project a different voice when acting. Elle Fanning or Anya Taylor Joy for example. When they speak normal, they are nothing like the characters they play.

I could listen to her talk about acting for hours. She is so sensitive, considered and insightful, and clearly takes such pride in her work. Like many people here, I feel like I've grown up watching her on film and I will basically watch anything she ever does. A true actor and a brilliant professional. Thank you for all of your incredible storytelling Kirsten!
I'm so glad Kirsten was protected there are so many child actors that had parents just throw them in then leave. Her mom cared and its really amazing I wish they all had the same.
Melancholia is one of the most intimate, operatic films ever made. Just incredibly emotional and smart, big and small. Trier peak, Dunst's performance is one for the ages.
I grew up on Kirsten’s movies and have followed her entire career. So many great films and so many great performances. Her body of work really runs the gamut and is evidence of how versatile and talented she is.
She’s so charming. I love the way she slows down to articulate what she loves and respects about the films and the people she worked with. There’s just something very lovely and elegant about how intentionally she chooses her words
@@CrisOnTheInternet what type of movies? Adventure? Horror? Mistery? Spy thrillers? Space opera? I'm tired of people thinking superhero is a genre only because it's connected with comics when those type of movies have more diversity in subjects, castings, actors and stories than most films.
@@youredelicious9945 but that's literally the name of the genre "superhero" and that doesn't mean that they have to come from a comic. Genre and topics developed in a movie are different things, I didn't even implied anything negative, just that those movies aren't the ones I watch.
I saw Kirsten in Phoenix years ago. I actually recognized her Mom & opened the door for her, looked at the car she went to, & Kirsten was driving. The TV gives her absolutely no justice - she is the most beautiful person I've ever seen. I am so happy to see her in any movie because she is so talented.
Truly an iconic actress, has done many different types of roles, has had a long career. Its so easy to forget all shes done and how well shes done it because she is so unproblematic and not in your face 24/7 but she deserves so much more recognition.
hearing about her experiences doing films during her early years really makes a great example of why/how she is so successful as an adult today. sounds like the crew, directors, and actors always took good care of her on set. tom and brad treating her like a little sister, the acting coach training in such a professional way, and of course.. no better director than sofia to guide her.
Her being in Interview, Little Women and Jumanji marked my teenage years, she's incredible. I love how she can do an understated drama, weird concept movies, teenage comedies and action films, she's has an incredible range and feels like a different person in every role, and starting so young!
@chelsear112 the main point of that movie is to make you feel the feeling of melancholia and depression. This understanding actually made it so much better second time I watched it actually understand and make a note of how it makes you feel.
I am so glad she never gave up acting. Even when she was very depressed. I can’t even begin to choose my favourite role by her. They’re all so magical! 🪄
Can I just say. She is aging very gracefully. Her demeanor, her attitude, her face, everything. She isn't a plastic monstrosity with a eternal youth complex or a broken attitude toward the world. She looks like a well adjusted and pretty 40 year old woman. Well done Kirsten
One of the best modern filmographies. The Coppola films, Melancholia, Spiderman, the best season of Fargo and her recent films. Always something interesting going on.
Great films, I’m so glad these last few years people have given her more recognition, especially her Coppola work. Also thank you GQ for including my favorite mockumentary, drop dead gorgeous!
The biggest compliment I could give Kirsten is how completely grounded and normal she is considering her international fame and fortune. Her parents have done a fantastic job and should be very proud. Now please can we have you as the lead in the next TV show phenomenon 👏🏼
I have loved Kirsten Dunst since Interview with a Vampire. While I don’t love that film, her performance was stellar. She stole every scene she was in. I love her versatility and her desire to mix it up and try new things. She’s truly one of a kind!
She doesn't get enough credit for helping define the early 2000s with some of the movies she was in
She is my 2000s muse
yes she's a pop culture icon
Kirsten is trans.
she was the entire late 90s and early 00s
and she was hot!
Her career is so wild. I can't believe how many iconic roles she's had.
They didn't even mention her early roles in Interview with the Vampire (1994) and Jumanji (1995).

The same thing can be said about average kids as well.

She does have veneers but not on every tooth

It's a crime that she didn't win an Oscar for 'Melancholia'; it's one of the most impactful performances in cinema.
Absolutely agree. Her performance in Melancholia is unbelievable.

I have found my people in this comment! Favourite film of hers and DEFINITELY underrated!!
The way she talked about the people she worked with, it's so BEAUTIFUL!
Right? She shows such thought, creativity, and appreciation for others. It is heartwarming.
Maguire's Spiderman ruined my childhood. The Maguire spiderman/Peter Parker was intentionally designed to ruin a young boy's confidence and self esteem. Back when I was a child, the Maguire Kristen trilogy gave me a false picture of ideal male behaviour when it comes to relationships with women. Maguire's Peter was a loser and Dunst's MJ was everything a man should run away from. Instead my early childhood self falsely assumed these two were the ideal man and woman. Never show your sons the Maguire version. It'll 100 percent deplete their confidence. Show them the Garfield version instead. Garfield's Peter is what young men should aspire to be (I'm not blaming the actors in any way. They're just actors following the director's orders. I'm talking about the characters they played)
I could listen to her talk about acting for hours. She is so sensitive, considered and insightful, and clearly takes such pride in her work. Like many people here, I feel like I've grown up watching her on film and I will basically watch anything she ever does. A true actor and a brilliant professional. Thank you for all of your incredible storytelling Kirsten!
I'm so glad Kirsten was protected there are so many child actors that had parents just throw them in then leave. Her mom cared and its really amazing I wish they all had the same.
The range! You gotta respect how vast her film trajectory has been, truly admirable.
Her and Winona Ryder are two of my favorite actresses....so many amazing movies between the two of them
Omg yes!i am 42 and i grew up with them!love them!
@@annagarcia1527 i am 40...same ❤
Same! And Claire Danes!
same! 🥹🥹 & they were both amazing in little women (the best version)
Oh!!! Winona and Kirsten are my favorite actresses too!!
Melancholia is one of the most intimate, operatic films ever made. Just incredibly emotional and smart, big and small. Trier peak, Dunst's performance is one for the ages.
Same it's tie for a top tier for me, The Crow is one as well❤@kieranselick
I wanted to like it, I just couldn't get into it!
I remember looking up if she had depression because her acting was so good
Unfortunately she's had treatment for depression
I really capture the heaviness of depression
Her performance in melancholia is so overlooked. She deserves at least an Oscar nomination for that. Also, crazy beautiful was so underrated
She seems like a real kindhearted person. Very beautiful too.
I love hearing her talk about her career… She remembers so much and explains it so well
I grew up on Kirsten’s movies and have followed her entire career. So many great films and so many great performances. Her body of work really runs the gamut and is evidence of how versatile and talented she is.
I love her. Such an underrated actor.
Kirsten saying "Not" is the most 90's thing I've heard since Nirvana. It's a small role but Eternal Sunshine is a favorite movie of mine.
It's a small but a big role. I love that movie!
Xennials 1977-1983 are underrated
Seriously the best career in Hollywood. Iconic role after iconic role. She’s been a fave of mine since…forever.
She’s so charming. I love the way she slows down to articulate what she loves and respects about the films and the people she worked with. There’s just something very lovely and elegant about how intentionally she chooses her words
I would die to see Tobey and Kirsten acting together again 😭
All MJs and their spidies
@@Anonymouseduck Why did I picture a multiverse movie? I don't even watch that type of movies lol
@@CrisOnTheInternet what type of movies? Adventure? Horror? Mistery? Spy thrillers? Space opera? I'm tired of people thinking superhero is a genre only because it's connected with comics when those type of movies have more diversity in subjects, castings, actors and stories than most films.
@@youredelicious9945 but that's literally the name of the genre "superhero" and that doesn't mean that they have to come from a comic. Genre and topics developed in a movie are different things, I didn't even implied anything negative, just that those movies aren't the ones I watch.
saaame
How not to love Kiki? Seriously, she's A+ in every department. It feels special to have someone like her around.
I saw Kirsten in Phoenix years ago. I actually recognized her Mom & opened the door for her, looked at the car she went to, & Kirsten was driving. The TV gives her absolutely no justice - she is the most beautiful person I've ever seen. I am so happy to see her in any movie because she is so talented.
I LOVE actors who understand how beautiful movie making can be! And she GETS it!
I'm not sure kirsten dunst knows how much the worlds audience will always love her❤
Kirsten body of work is UNBELIEVABLE
The lack of Jumanji is alarming. Loved that movie.
Yes! Where’s Jumanji?
It's interesting how she talks about being uncertain and uncomfortable yet she usually exudes such confidence in her roles.
Acting
Truly an iconic actress, has done many different types of roles, has had a long career. Its so easy to forget all shes done and how well shes done it because she is so unproblematic and not in your face 24/7 but she deserves so much more recognition.
hearing about her experiences doing films during her early years really makes a great example of why/how she is so successful as an adult today. sounds like the crew, directors, and actors always took good care of her on set. tom and brad treating her like a little sister, the acting coach training in such a professional way, and of course.. no better director than sofia to guide her.
I have idolised Kirsten Dunst for twenty years and I could not love her as an actor more if I tried. She’s so wonderful.
Her being in Interview, Little Women and Jumanji marked my teenage years, she's incredible. I love how she can do an understated drama, weird concept movies, teenage comedies and action films, she's has an incredible range and feels like a different person in every role, and starting so young!
I've followed her career my entire life. I will watch anything and everything she does. Kirsten Dunst NEVER misses.
I agree 👍 ❤
She's one of the greats, and this interview was such a treat. She doesn't get the recognition she deserves!
I feel like she's so grounded. She also looks the same over the years which is very refreshing
She played a big part of my childhood from Jumanji,Small Soliders,Tower Of Terror and Spiderman.
One of my favourite actresses.
yesss small soldiers, thats when i fell in love with her
And bring it on.
She was so amazing in Melancholia, i can't get over this movie it was life changing for me
I just didn't get it ugh
@chelsear112 the main point of that movie is to make you feel the feeling of melancholia and depression. This understanding actually made it so much better second time I watched it actually understand and make a note of how it makes you feel.
Its the worst movie I have ever watched. I understand nothing
genuinely one of the best actors working.. and she is so humble and gracious and kind.
Her work catalogue is so good, one of my favorite actresses of this generation.
i love how she seems so proud of her roles. shes very down to earth
She’s so humble! I love her
Thank you for acknowledging Drop Dead Gorgeous but that segment alone should've been 29 min lol
Agreed!
or cut...to talk about Jumanji or Small Soldiers
Yes! I was so glad to see it included, love that movie so much!!
DDG is criminally underrated
Yes!! DDG is a cult classic!
I am so glad she never gave up acting. Even when she was very depressed. I can’t even begin to choose my favourite role by her. They’re all so magical! 🪄
The level of ICONICY of this woman's career is off the charts !!!!
What a wonderful and thoughtful piece! She's incredibly engaging to watch and listen to. Glad to see her getting props where props are due!
her performance in melancholia was the best portrayal of depression i've ever seen
How could Jumanji not be included in here!?
It isn’t!?! I haven’t finished it yet and I was looking forward to it 😢
How could Mona Lisa Smile not be??
Yes! I feel like nobody ever asks her about Drop Dead Gorgeous. I miss seeing her in comedies, but she's always great.
This was incredible to see. I love the way she describes her experiences!!
Can I just say. She is aging very gracefully. Her demeanor, her attitude, her face, everything. She isn't a plastic monstrosity with a eternal youth complex or a broken attitude toward the world. She looks like a well adjusted and pretty 40 year old woman. Well done Kirsten
One of the best modern filmographies. The Coppola films, Melancholia, Spiderman, the best season of Fargo and her recent films. Always something interesting going on.
She’s soooo pretty
I never realized how many roles I’ve seen with her! This interview was amazing I am so glad to hear she loved playing Peggy!
Her voice is so mature. I didn't expect her to sound so adult-like. I love it ❤
I wish she had space to cover Mona Lisa Smile. It’s one of my faves!
So true, going to watch that again!
Great film & I love her in it
Great films, I’m so glad these last few years people have given her more recognition, especially her Coppola work. Also thank you GQ for including my favorite mockumentary, drop dead gorgeous!
Happy to see Fargo included here. She's a big part of one of the best seasons of TV ever made imo
The biggest compliment I could give Kirsten is how completely grounded and normal she is considering her international fame and fortune. Her parents have done a fantastic job and should be very proud. Now please can we have you as the lead in the next TV show phenomenon 👏🏼
I have loved Kirsten Dunst since Interview with a Vampire. While I don’t love that film, her performance was stellar. She stole every scene she was in. I love her versatility and her desire to mix it up and try new things. She’s truly one of a kind!
She’s a straight legend now
