LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In the enthralling world of Hollywood, young talents often find themselves faced with unique challenges as they embark on their acting careers. For Kirsten Dunst, her breakthrough role in the 1994 film 'Interview With The Vampire' marked a defining moment, but it also brought her face-to-face with a somewhat uncomfortable experience.

At just 11 years old, Dunst shared a pivotal on-screen kiss with the seasoned actor Brad Pitt, who was 31 at the time. As her portrayal of Claudia, a 10-year-old girl turned into a vampire, captivated audiences, behind the scenes, she grappled with feelings of awkwardness about the intimate scene. Now, a resurfaced interview has sent shockwaves through the internet, sparking discussions among netizens.

'Why would I enjoy kissing him?'

The resurfaced interview, making its rounds on TikTok nearly 30 years later, offers an intimate glimpse into Dunst's candid thoughts on the past. In the interview, she openly discusses how she felt "awkward" about the kissing scene because, in her words, "he's a man, so why would I enjoy kissing him?" Even after being questioned about it again, the then-12-year-old reiterated her stance, emphasizing Pitt's age of 31, making it clear that he was not someone she perceived as a boy. "Brad is 31, I mean, he's not exactly a boy," she said.
