An old video of the actor defending being uncomfortable with having to kiss then-31-year-old Brad Pitt in 1994's 'Interview with the Vampire' sparked a debate after it was shared on TikTok.

A resurfaced interview of then-12-year-old Kirsten Dunst from nearly 30 years ago has ignited a new discussion among film enthusiasts.

The interview features Dunst, who at the age of 11 shared a kiss with actor Brad Pitt during the filming of Interview With The Vampire, a scene that has remained a topic of conversation over the years.


The 1994 film marked a breakthrough for Dunst, who portrayed Claudia, a 10-year-old girl turned into a vampire by characters Louis de Pointe du Lac (Brad Pitt) and Lestat de Lioncourt (Tom Cruise). The resurfaced interview, which has been circulating on TikTok, showcases Dunst candidly expressing her feelings about the notable scene.

Replying to @nomorelatefees The fact she had to do that scene was bad enough but why would the interviewer even question her about not liking it. #Hollyweird #KirstenDunst #samanthamathis #bradpitt

In the interview, a young Dunst described the experience as "awkward" due to the significant age gap between her and Pitt, who was 31 at the time.

When asked how by an interviewer and her Little Women co-star Samantha Mathis if she in fact "hated" the kiss, Dunst replied:

“Yeah because, well, y’know what, I love Brad, he’s so nice… it was just, like, it feels awkward.”
“I mean I’m 12. And he’s, like, 31 and it’s like, he’s a man. So why would I enjoy kissing him?”

Dunst then turned to Mathis and asked her how she would feel if she had the "chance" to kiss Brad Pitt, to which Mathis replied:

“Oh, I don’t think I’d turn it down! I mean, he’s a wonderful actor too though, but I understand."
[to Dunst directly]“Maybe you’re not into kissing boys yet, so I can relate.”

TikTok users reacting to the clip have largely echoed Dunst's sentiments, expressing surprise that her discomfort required an explanation.

Many viewers characterized the scene and the film itself as "wild" and "crazy," highlighting the unusual nature of a child performing such a role alongside an actor two decades older.

The resurfaced interview has rekindled conversations about Dunst's experience during the making of the film.

In subsequent years, Dunst has been questioned about the scene in various interviews, consistently expressing her reservations. She candidly shared her thoughts in 2014 on Conan, describing the experience as "disgusting," considering her age at the time.

Despite her initial discomfort, Dunst has emphasized her positive interactions on set and clarified that her relationship with Pitt was akin to that of an older brother. She recalled in a 2021 Vanity Fair interview that despite the challenging scenes, she was treated "like a total princess" during the filming of Interview With The Vampire.

'Based On A True Story' Movies That Aren't True At All

The entertainment industry has long been criticized for their creative license when it comes to retelling history or anything "based on a true story."

Going back to the silent film era and D.W. Griffith's ridiculously inaccurate White supremacist propaganda Birth Of A Nation to Mel Gibson's Braveheart to Disney's Pocahontas, some films go way beyond creative license and careen into total malarkey.

Musk's AI Chatbot Throws Republicans Under The Bus After Being Asked About Economy

Grok, billionaire Elon Musk's very own chatbot, threw Republicans under the bus after software engineer Alex Coke asked it if Democrats or Republicans have been better for the economy in the past 30 years, only for it to answer that yes, in fact, Democrats are the winners when it comes to economic policy.

Economic policy is certainly on everyone's minds these days. A new CNN poll conducted by SSRS shows that Americans are not pleased with President Donald Trump’s management of the economy, leaving him with unfavorable ratings on what is considered the nation’s most important issue.

CNN Airs Brutal Reminder Of Trump's Previous Economic Predictions—And They Did Not Age Well

CNN came with the receipts, airing a supercut of clips from 2020 and 2024 of President Donald Trump making hilariously wrong economic predictions—a damning reel of evidence as financial markets decline and investor concerns grow over Trump’s trade policies.

In fact, Trump’s escalating trade war pushed the S&P 500 more than 10% below its record high set just last month. A drop of this size is significant enough that professional investors call it a “correction,” and the S&P 500’s 1.4% decline on Thursday marked its first since 2023.
