Kirsten Dunst just corrected your pronunciation of her name.
Since 1989, Dunst has been steadily captivating audiences with every role. But in a Wednesday interview with Town & Country, the actor was asked how to properly say her name — and revealed that people often fumble it.
“I mean, everyone messes up my name, so I give up,” she admitted.
Despite the frequent mispronunciations, Dunst said she doesn’t hold it against anyone. She shared that she answers to a full squad of names, from “Kristen” to various versions of “Kirsten,” but isn’t in the business of “blaming people.”
The actor went on to share a behind-the-scenes anecdote from across the pond, where they also get it wrong.
