Kirsten Dunst reveals ‘everyone’ mispronounces her name — here’s how to say it
Kirsten Dunst has “give[n] up” on people ever pronouncing her name correctly.
“Everyone messes up my name,” the actress revealed in a new Town & Country interview, published Wednesday.
“I don’t care,” the “Bring It On” star, 43, continued, quipping that she’ll “answer to Kristen [or] Kirsten, which is how you say my name.”
The Oscar nominee clarified in the playful video that she doesn’t “blame people” for the common mistake.
“In England, they don’t really say my name right,” she noted. “On the last set, everyone was saying my name wrong, but there were Swedish people, people from Hungary. You just give up.”
When asked to share the right pronunciation, Dunst said “Keer-sten” — then joked, “But who cares?”
Social media users praised the “Fargo” alum for being a “laid back” and “unbothered queen” in TikTok comments.
Many promised to “never mispronounce [her] name again.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Dunst gave rare insight into life with her and husband Jesse Plemons’ two sons — Ennis, 7, and James, 4.
The family of four recently bonded “in a deeper way” when James experienced an “extremely frightening” health scare.
Dunst, who did not provide details, assured the outlet that “everyone is fine now.”
She and Plemons, 37, welcomed Ennis and James in May 2018 and April 2021, respectively.
The couple tied the knot in Jamaica in 2022.
Dunst began dating her partner in 2016, one year after they met while filming “Fargo.”
In January 2017, Page Six broke the news that the actor had proposed over Golden Globes weekend.
