Kirsten Dunst: Brad Pitt was like an older brother to me

Kirsten Dunst has recently praised Brad Pitt as she recalled her working experience with him on the set of 1994 movie, Interview with the Vampire.

In a new interview with The Telegraph, Kirsten opened up about a controversial scene when Brad, who was 31 at the time, kissed her, who was just 11.

Calling Brad her “older brother,” the Bring it On actress revealed, “I was treated like a princess.”

“Yes, it was a virtually all-male set, but everyone was very gentle and kind, and nothing ever felt weird,” said the 41-year-old during filming gothic horror movie.

Kirsten stated, “Brad was like an older brother to me,” while filming the movie which also starred Tom Cruise, Antonio Banderas and Christian Bale.

Elsewhere in the interview, Kirsten reflected on memorable moments from the set, especially with the Top Gun star who surprised her with a gift during shoot.

“And then Tom – well, one morning around Christmas I remember going into my dressing room at Pinewood and he’d set up a beautiful tree in there for me, covered in ornaments,” remembered the Jumanji star.

Earlier in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Kirsten admitted she “hated the kiss because Brad was like my brother” on set

At the time, she pointed out, “It's weird because he's an older guy and I had to kiss him on the lips, so it was gross.”

However, in a latest interview with Variety, Kirsten responded to a question about kissing Brad in the 1994 movie.

“How about Brad Pitt got to kiss me?” quipped the actress.

Meanwhile, Kirsten can next be seen in new movie, Civil War, which is slated to release in theatres on April 12.
