Kirsten Dunst was only 11 when she starred alongside Tom Cruise in 1994’s Interview With the Vampire. The box office sensation also featured Brad Pitt, Antonio Banderas, and Christian Slater playing characters from Anna Rice’s best-seller novel of the same title.

Kirsten recalled working so hard to land the part in Interview With the Vampire and how supportive Tom was in making it happen. Several auditions later, she had to do a screen test with Tom, who gave her tips on how to increase her chances.

Kirsten was well aware of who Tom and Brad were as she had watched A River Runs Through and Far and Away as a young girl. She gushed about being treated like a princess by nearly all her castmates, especially Tom, who went all out for her during the holidays.

They were working around the Christmas holiday at Pinewood Studios in London when Kirsten found a decorated tree in her dressing room, courtesy of Tom. The show of love from the A-lister has not stopped, as she still gets his signature $126 white chocolate coconut bundt cake.

Kirsten Dunst hated having to kiss her older co-star

Kirsten had a beautiful experience, in general, playing Claudia in the classic; however, she hated having to kiss Brad, who was two decades older. Aside from that, Kirsten would not change a thing about being the youngest on set at the time.

Kirsten’s breakout role as Claudia earned her her first Golden Globe nomination in the Best Supporting Actress category, on the same list as Hollywood legends like Sophia Loren and Uma Thurman. The 42-year-old went on to star in more hits like Little Women and Jumanji as a preteen and The Spiderman Trilogy in her later years. Her most recent appearance was in this year’s thriller Civil War, which performed impressively at the box office.
