Kirsten Dunst turned down Kevin Spacey kissing role

Kirsten Dunst has revealed she turned down a role in American Beauty because she didn’t want to kiss Kevin Spacey.

Kirsten was offered the role of Angela Hayes, Spacey’s character’s teen fantasy figure but despite having her neck sucked by Brad Pitt in Interview with a Vampire when she was just 11, she didn’t fancy getting up close to another leading man.

She told Entertainment Weekly recently: “I was only 15 [when I was offered the American Beauty] and I didn’t want to kiss Kevin Spacey or be seen lying naked in those rose petals.”

Who cares if Kevin Spacey might be gay. Does that make him less of a genius?Kevin is an all around talent as was Bobby Darin and if you want proof, just watch Beyond the Sea…..I love his talent and that is what really matters!

Come on, people. She was 15. The role was a tough one, and I cannot blame Kirsten Dunst for passing on it. Mena Suvari was a full three years older.

That she missed out on being a part of an academy award winning flick is the sacrifice she made not to do something she was uncomfortable with. But to say, “unprofessional” about a 15-year old…what would you expect?

It’s pretty well known that she and Tobey Maguire don’t get along, but she’s kissed him. Obviously it is no longer an issue.
