Kirsten Dunst: ‘He was kind of, like, rooting for me’ on Tom Cruise’s Genius Trick to Get Her Cast in a Movie That Left Her Disgusted

Let’s face it—most of us had that one flick that freaked us out as kids, yet somehow, we couldn’t look away. Interview with the Vampire (1994) was that film for many. It was one of those rare cases where the blood-curdling gothic drama wasn’t just a vampire flick, but a full-on immersion into dark, eternal immortality. With a cast led by two of Hollywood’s finest—Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt—it should have been no surprise that the film would charm, frighten, and maybe even haunt us a little.

And let’s get one thing straight: no one, and we mean No One, expected 12-year-old Kirsten Dunst to steal the show. But it’s not all roses and fairy tales in Interview with the Vampire. Dunst once shared that her casting story wasn’t exactly a fairy tale.
