Before Kirsten Dunst met Jesse Plemons, she had a good sense of what she wanted. I remember her interviews from the pre-Jesse era very well she was actively looking for a man to ?settle down.? She wanted to get married and have babies and she was very clear about it. Then in 2015-ish, she was cast in a season of Fargo and Jesse was cast as her character?s husband. The rest is history. They ended up dating after filming Fargo, and everything came together. She gave birth to their two sons Ennis and James, and Kirsten and Jesse reportedly married in 2022. They seem really happy and they seem like they really ?get? each other. Well, it turns out, they both just ?knew.?
The connection between Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons was instant. In a recent cover profile for Texas Monthly highlighting Plemons, 35, Dunst recalled first meeting her now-husband on the set of FXs Fargo series almost a decade ago.
?Immediately I felt safe, and he did too,? said the actress, 41. ?And free.?
Dunst also referred to her husband as one of the kindest humans I?ve ever met during the couples chat with the magazine.
?I think that sensitivity makes him very astute when it comes to other people, she added.
The couple first met when they played a married couple on season 2 of Fargo in 2015, though their romantic relationship didnt develop until about a year and a half later. And Plemons and Dunsts onscreen collaboration didnt stop at Fargo. They were later both nominated for Academy Awards in the Best Supporting Actress and Actor categories, respectively, for their roles in 2021s The Power of the Dog. They will also star together in the upcoming movie Civil War, which follows a group of people in a race to the White House in a near-future America balanced on the razor?s edge.
In a 2020 interview with The New York Times, Dunst said they bonded over being former child stars: We laugh about the fact that we were two child actors, and we both made it out okay. About working with Dunst for the first time, Plemons added, I knew that she would be in my life for a long time.

I love these kinds of couples, the ?we just knew? couples who meet and everything just falls into place. It?s sweet and you can just feel how they make so much sense together. No drama, no chaos. I love how they constantly work with each other too, like they?re a package deal. Whenever Dunst gets cast in anything, she suggests Jesse for other available parts. She did that with her latest film, Civil War she suggested Jesse to director Alex Garland. She?s done that a few times.
Here are some photos of Kirsten at a London screening of Civil War on March 26th. I really dislike this Dice Kayek dress!

Kirsten Dunst has a supporting role in Jane Campion?s The Power of the Dog. She and her real-life husband Jesse Plemons star as a newlywed couple, and Plemons? character is the younger brother of Benedict Cumberbatch?s character. The film is about toxic masculinity and repressed men and all kinds of sh-t. As Dog made its way through the film festivals, Benedict and Kirsten both got a lot of notice, and there?s talk of an Oscar campaign for her as well as the (ongoing) campaign for Bendy. Kirsten is in a really good place in her life right now happily married to Plemons, mother of two, and in one of the most creative periods of her career. Dunst chatted with the LA Times about Dog and life, and here are some highlights from the piece. For what it?s worth, I know this isn?t the most soundbyte-y interview, but I enjoyed hearing from her:
On the possibility that she could get an Oscar nom for Dog: ?I don?t really think about it too much because I just can?t. So it feels like, if I get nominated or something like that, incredible. But if not, I got to work with Jane Campion. That trumps any other thing to me.?
On Sofia Coppola: ?At 16, that age where you don?t feel cool or pretty, Sofia gave me confidence. She made me feel good about myself for entering this, like, more male gaze in Hollywood. So I always felt like I didn?t have to do anything to try and be like a Hollywood blond, like fix my teeth perfectly or anything like that. I didn?t feel that pressure because Sofia thought I was beautiful, and I thought she was the coolest, you know??
On her Dog character, Rose: ?I think Rose is a very old part of myself that I had to rehash of just feeling really bad about myself, or allowing myself to feel bad about myself because of other people?s comments or control. In your early 20s, it?s very easy to get swayed into different things or thinking about yourself in a certain way, especially when you?re putting yourself out there as an actress and you?re in a public light. So there are definitely things I can relate to in terms of feeling really badly about yourself.
How it felt playing a woman who was terrorized by her BIL: ?I wasn?t as confident. I?m happy that Jesse was there with me because I had someone to give me a hug or have lunch with. I remember this one scene I did, and Noriko [Watanabe], who did my makeup and my wig in the movie, I?ve worked with on a couple films, and I just remember crying in her arms one day after some takes. Because it doesn?t stop just because somebody yells cut. It?s not like, ?Oh, my tears just dry right up, and OK, out to lunch.? I just felt with Rose it was a very painful experience to play her. Not a role I?d migrate to if it wasn?t in the hands of Jane Campion.
On Jesse Plemons: ?We fell in love creatively first. He was like a creative soul mate to me and the way we both work. On ?Fargo,? I knew after two weeks. I didn?t remember saying this, but one of my best friends told me that I said to her that ?I will know this man for the rest of my life. I just know it.? Just because I felt such an immediate connection. Working together on this, it?s just easy. We love working together. So, it?s really, really easy to work with each other. We?re very honest. We?re very down to try anything. No one judges anybody. There?s no ego. It?s just, how do we make this the most alive together and the most real?
Talking about her depression circa 2010-11: ?It?s so personal. But I do feel like it?s so mishandled. I personally was so terrified of taking an antidepressant at that time. Like, terrified. And it really just helped me clear something so I could start to see things again. So I?m willing to talk at length with anyone who?s struggling?. It wasn?t really a problem.? I wasn?t, like, using drugs or anything. It was just literally my brain got depressed. It was just like, the old way of being and working within the world didn?t work anymore. I just never really got angry. I was just never really angry about things. So that is the definition of depression pretty much. Anger turned inward.
[From The LA Times]
Personally, I love Kirsten and Jesse together and they make so much sense. I can see it lasting for a long time, if not forever. Kirsten was clearly in the mindset of ?I want to be married with children? and it was probably a right time/right place/right guy situation. What does surprise me about Kiki and Jesse is that she?s kept working I thought she would take a big break from Hollywood as soon as she started having babies! That seemed to be her plan. So all of this has been kind of cool, to see her navigate everything now. As for what she said about what Sofia Coppola gave her and how Sofia made her feel cool? that?s pretty awesome.

This is a post dedicated to some of the women in Pink at last nights Globes. Kirsten Dunst is so happy and adorable that everyone just notices her beautiful smile. This pale Pink frilly Rodarte dress is lacking, but there were so many worse looks last night and look at how cute she is with Jesse Plemons! Theyre couples goals. Kirsten was nominated for best actress in a TV series for her work in Showtimes On Becoming a God in Central Florida. That category went to Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

Kirsten Dunst has been famous since she was a little girl. She went from child star in Interview with a Vampire to teen star in The Virgin Suicides, Drop Dead Gorgeous and Bring It On to adult star in everything else. But does Kirsten get the respect she deserves? I?ve been pondering that for a while, honestly, especially following her great turn on Fargo a few years ago. That felt like a new chapter for Dunst a chapter where she would do more television work and more character work. A chapter where hopefully she would be recognized as one of the best actresses of her generation. But she still doesn?t feel like she?s ever really been respected in Hollywood:
Kirsten Dunst has learned to take it all in stride when it comes to her career. During a recent interview with Sirius XM?s In-Depth With Larry Flick, Dunst, 37, revealed ?I?ve never been recognized in my industry.?
?Well, remember when Marie Antoinette ? y?all panned it? And now you all love it,? Dunst said of the 2006 film. ?Remember Drop Dead Gorgeous? Panned. Now you all love it? It?s like interesting for me. I feel a lot of things I do people like later,? she revealed to Flick.
?I?ve never been nominated for anything. Maybe like, twice for a Golden Globe when I was little and one for Fargo. I always feel like nobody? I don?t know, maybe they just think I?m the girl from Bring It On,? she told Flick. In 1996, Dunst was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Claudia in Interview with a Vampire. The actress has also starred in memorable films like Hidden Figures, Virgin Suicides, Spider-Man and The Beguiled.
?I am so chill. Maybe I don?t play the game enough? But then I do, I mean, I do everything I?m supposed to. It?s not like I?m rude or like, not doing publicity or anything,? she continued. Dunst later shared, ?I know that all you have is your work at the end of the day. And that?s all people really care about. I?m intelligent enough to know that and have perspective,? Dunst told Flick. However, she admitted, ?It?d be nice to be recognized by your peers.?
[From People]
?I am so chill. Maybe I don?t play the game enough?? I could see that. She is rather chill, and for years (in her 20s, mostly), she seemed kind of anti-Hollywood, anti-establishment, and not really looking to do those kinds of awards-baity movies anyway. Plus, Kirsten is a great comedic actress and comedy actresses rarely get that kind of respect too. Incidentally, I?ve watched Marie Antoinette a few times over the past month and I understand why it got panned Kirsten is fine in it, but lord, Sofia Coppola just wants to make movies about women and girls who just float around and do nothing.

All of last week, Kirsten Dunst was doing a blitz promotional tour in New York. She?s promoting On Becoming a God in Central Florida, a series about scams and scam artists in (you guessed it) Florida. Kirsten plays the lead, a sort of white-trash single mother who gets ruined by a pyramid scheme and then decides to game the same pyramid scheme. It?s a showy role for Kirsten, and honestly, she seems happier than she?s ever been. She?s with her partner, Jesse Plemons, they have a son, Ennis, and she?s doing the most demanding work of her career now, on television. Anyway, these are photos from Kirsten?s promotional blitz. I feel like she was trying to do the Blake Lively thing of wearing a million cute outfits over the course of three days, but Kiki?s style is more? vintage-y and cutesy.
One of Kirsten?s stops was on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and she told a funny story about how she had to prepare to play her character in OBAGICF. It involved Sunday spray tans to be appropriately orange for a Floridian, and how that orange spray tan would rub off on her poor baby Ennis:
?I had a spray tan every Sunday for this role. I remember Monday morning my mother-in-law is texting me. She?s like, ?I think Ennis has a little bit of brown, reddish hair coming in right here!? I was like, ?Lisa, that?s my spray tan!? So, on Sundays I couldn?t hold my kid. I would postpone it to the latest possible minute so that I could hold my baby before he went to bed or before I put him to bed. I couldn?t put him to bed on Sunday nights because I would just get spray tan all over him!?
[From JustJared]
It?s super-cute. She?s cute throughout the whole interview, actually. Not in a try-hard way at all she?s just really comfortable with her life these days and it shows. The part about the spray tans is late in this clip, around the 7:30-mark. She talks about her baby a lot and how much she hates to clean baby bottles.

I saw these photos of Kirsten Dunst yesterday and thought ?wow she looks pregnant.? Then I wondered when she was planning her wedding with Jesse Plemons. Then I sort of moved on to other things. But as it turns out, Kiki wasn?t just rocking her forever ?bumpy? style – she actually is pregnant, for real. Congrats!
With two close pals expecting, Kirsten Dunst was ?in baby mode,? the then-32-year-old confessed to UK?s Red magazine in 2014, adding, ?I think 33 is a good age to have your first baby.? Her mid-thirties aren?t bad either. A source reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly that the 35-year-old actress and fianc Jesse Plemons are expecting their first child.
And that?s not the only project in the works for Dunst and the Breaking Bad alum, 29. The ex-costars (they started dating in 2016 while playing husband and wife on FX?s Fargo) are slated to wed in Austin next spring. Dunst has already tapped her close pals, Rodarte designers Kate and Laura Mulleavy, to create her dress. ?I can?t imagine not doing it,? Kate told Us at the September 18 Woodshock premiere in L.A. Though her sister noted they hadn?t started working on the piece: ?We hopefully will get inspiration and figure it out.?
To hear the actress tell it, the nuptials will be an understated affair. In 2016, she told In Style UK her ideal vows would be ?intimate.? Her perfect setting: ?Courthouse, dinner party and DJ with friends and family. I?ll treat it like it would be my fortieth birthday.?
[From Us Weekly]
I?ve been covering Kirsten?s interviews for years, and it was always clear to me that she really longed to be a wife and mother. Those were her big goals for her 30s. I personally thought that she and Garrett Hedlund split because he was gun-shy about getting engaged or married, and she moved on to Jesse Plemons rather quickly because he was much more amenable to ?settling down.? I?m glad to see that she?s getting what she always wanted! But I do kind of wonder if she and Jesse are going to wait until spring to get married. Judging from these photos, Kirsten is already bumping along. I kind of think she?s already past her first trimester. Would she schedule her wedding for when she?s heavily pregnant?

With the combination of the Emmys, the film festivals and the start of the Oscar campaign season, I?ve been feeling like sort of a jerk about fashion. I actually do enjoy it when celebrities wear awful things because then I get to yell about it. But really? WTF are some of these designers even thinking? These are photos of Kirsten Dunst this week at the LA premiere of Woodshock, a film directed by Rodarte designers Kate and Laura Mulleavy. Kiki has been wearing Rodarte throughout the promotional tour for the film, because derp, that?s the entire point: the film is basically an ?artsy? advertisement for Rodarte. So if you?ve spent all that money on an art film to sell clothes, wouldn?t you actually want to put your best designs on your star? I guess not! Because look what Rodarte hath wrought: a silly, fug dress with literal ruffles around the boobs. HIGH DESIGN. Much Rodarte. Kiki made this stupid dress even worse by adding a floral garland as a shawl. My God. At this same premiere, Kiki also told Us Weekly that she?s probably going to ask the Mulleavys to design her wedding gown when she marries Jesse Plemons. I hope that they make sure to outline her boobs in baby-ruffles on her wedding dress too.
What else? This movie has a simple plot: a woman, played by Kiki, grieves for her deceased mother by going to the woods and getting high. She also eats cake. Apparently, Kiki accidentally got super-high during filming because some sketchy prop dudes gave her actual joints to smoke. Some highlights from her EW interview:
How she accidentally ended up getting high: ?We had a prop team, but I don?t think they knew how to roll joints, so they just asked somebody who was around. I don?t know how they found this person, but I guess they threw in some fun nuggets for us. After this happened to me? some [crew members] took the weed home, and they were like, ?That was some of the strongest weed I?ve ever smoked.?… They asked someone to roll some fake joints and they thought, oh, that?s fun, let?s throw a couple of these in.
Eating cake in ?Woodshock? and macarons in ?Marie Antoinette?: ?I think I?m eating the cake with disdain, here. I have one bite and spit it out! But, Sofia [Coppola] and I kick ourselves; we should have invested in Ladure after Marie Antoinette because those stores popped up everywhere [after we used their macarons in the movie]. Recently, I was in France with my friend and my goddaughter, and the little girl wants macarons all the time. We went inside a Ladure, and I was telling my friend how Sofia and I should?ve bought stock in the company before the movie. We didn?t know it?d turn into such a big thing. And then these girls walked out of the store and saw me. They were like, ?Oh, Kirsten! The reason we got macarons is because of Marie Antoinette!? And I was like, there you go. We made macarons hot again…They?re everywhere. They?re even in airports! There were none when we made our movie…Yes, we messed up not investing in them. But, okay, I feel like I have to move on to savory [in my next movie]. Pasta, I don?t know.
[From EW]
She really sounds bummed that she didn?t invest in Laduree! That?s funny. True story: I never saw Marie Antoinette. Should I? It felt like a movie I would not enjoy. Woodshock also seems like a movie I would not enjoy – I would rather get high and eat cake rather than pay to watch someone else get high and eat cake.

Here are some photos of Kirsten Dunst at the Venice Film Festival on Monday. She?s in Venice to promote and premiere Woodshock, the art film (and ?film advertisement?) directed by Kate and Laura Mulleavy, the two founder/designers of Rodarte. Kiki has been friends with the Mulleavys for years, and they decided to do this weird little art film about a woman – who has a fabulous wardrobe – going on a bad trip in Northern California.
Obviously, Kiki will be wearing head-to-two Rodarte for the promotion and premieres, which is sort of genius. Tom Ford does something similar – if you?re starring in a Tom Ford film, of course you?re going to be dressed and styled by Mr. Ford. The thing is? I don?t think the Mulleavys are really giving Kirsten their best stuff?? I like Rodarte stuff sometimes – I think they veer into ?overworked? and ?needing to take out one element before they send it down the runway,? but they have a vision and sometimes it really, really works. This was the premiere look they gave Kiki – a polka-dotted, ruffle-tastic tiered gown. I?ll say this? it looks like something Kiki would have picked out for herself. Also: I?m totally bump-watching Kiki, she looks pregnant in ALL of these photos and if she?s not preg, then the Mulleavys need to rethink the way they cut the ruffles/clothing around the abdomen.
In case you?re thinking, ?hey, I bet Kirsten?s photocall look earlier in the day was a lot better,? no. It was not. They sent her out in a two-piece blouse-and-trouser ensemble that I call Nouveau Mrs. Roper. Bonus Pilou Asbaek, who is in Woodshock.

Kirsten Dunst was at CinemaCon last week promoting her Sofia Coppola film, The Beguiled, which comes out in June. She wore this little Gucci print dress on the red carpet and I think it?s really cute. I don?t like the bow thing at the neck or the sweatband cuffs on the sleeves but the cut and pattern are darling on her.
The Beguiled (trailer below), a remake of the 1971 Clint Eastwood film, is about a group of pious and seemingly chaste women living in the Civil War era South who come to be locked in their home with Colin Farrell. You can see their problem, of course ? remaining chaste while locked in a house with Colin Farrell is a challenge to great for most to meet. The pious part would be okay, I?d thank God every day. Anyway, the movie gets quite racy with several of the ladies falling prey to Colin?s character’s charms, which results in many love scenes. Going off the trailer, it looks like the consent with each lady varies. Marc Malkin from E! interviewed Dunst during CinemaCon about her sex scenes in which she is shown on the floor having her clothing ripped off. She said that she doesn?t like to do sex scenes but prefers a female director because women are more sensitive to the situation.
If you’ve watched the trailer for directorSofia Coppola’sThe Beguiled, you may have noticed that it looks likeColin FarrellandKirsten Dunsthave quite the sex scene.
“I am on the floor and my clothes are being ripped,” Dunst explains.
No surprise, but Dunst is never that comfortable shooting such scenes.
“I don’t like it, I don’t like it,” she told me recently at CinemaCon. “To be honest, I’m like, ‘Let’s get this over with as fast as possible.’”
Fortunately, this time around, she was working once again with Coppola. Their previous films includeThe Virgin SuicidesandMarie Antoinette. Male directors want “to shoot it from every angle,” Dunst said. “At least Sofia’s like, ‘We’re going to get this done quick, we’re just gonna shoot it here, we’ll do three takes, be done.’”
[From E! News]
As the article states, Dunst and Coppola have worked together before so that must be a relief to Dunst when considering a role like this. Many actors have said they dislike filming love scenes and I can see why. It really bothered me what Dunst said about male directors wanting to go until they get every angle. It just reads like someone who is getting more out of the experience than a shot.
As for Farrell, he recognizes that women have traditionally been exploited more than men when it comes to love scenes. His approach is to, ?just [do] whatever your female dance partner needs.” He goes on to say that includes not relinquishing all control to the women if she feels it’s patronizing. Basically, Farrell is promoting listening to his scene partner as to which approach makes her comfortable. I feel like Farrell gets it because when he started to answer the question, he said, ?look ? all jokes aside.? I make jokes about wanting to be locked in a house with Farrell but truthfully, I would be uncomfortable as hell filming any kind of love scene. Were I to film one, I would far prefer a director and a co-star who were considerate of that fact.
Now watching loves scenes, that?s another story?
Here is The Beguiled trailer:
