Back in 1994, getting paid to kiss the world's number-one heartthrob, Brad Pitt, would have been the dream for millions. But for Kirsten Dunst, locking lips with her co-star for "Interview with the Vampire" was something of a nightmare.
And once you learn of the age gap, you can understand why. Pitt was aged 31 when he portrayed Louis de Pointe du Lac in the adaptation of Anne Rice's gothic novel. On the other hand, Dunst, who played Claudia, was 20 years his junior at just 11 years old. In fact, the on-screen smooch was her very first. And in an interview with Bullett magazine, she made it crystal clear about how unnerving she found the whole experience.
Dunst said (via Glamour UK), "I remember Brad would watch lots of 'Real World' episodes. He had this long hair. He was just a hippie-ish cool dude. Everyone at the time was like, 'You're so lucky you kissed Brad Pitt,' but I thought it was disgusting. I didn't kiss anyone else until I was 16, I think. I was a late bloomer." After suffering from depression, the actor entered rehab to deal with the fact she'd been "working since I was a kid in a very people-pleasing environment."
