Kirsten Dunst spoke with Vanity Fair about her two year big screen hiatus and a steamy sex scene with Ryan Gosling in their new movie, ‘All Good Things.’
Here is an excerpt from her interview with VF:
You did a nude scene in All Good Things, and I think it’s your first.
I was naked in Marie Antoinette, but that was just from behind.
The nudity in Marie Antoinette was cute by comparison. This was probably the saddest nude scene of all time. Why do it at all?
I don’t know. I was comfortable with it and it just felt more vulnerable, you know? There’s actually a very good reason for it. And the way we shot it went a lot further, but it ended up getting cut.
Further? Like how much further?
What happens is, I come into the shower with Ryan, and for my character, it’s a smart ploy. She just found out that she got accepted to a medical college, and he’s afraid he’s losing her. He’s threatened by everything that’s happening to her and he just had this weird moment when he jumps into the water and gets their boat and writes their telephone number on it. What happened in the shower scene, she comes in and we start making out, and I gesture that I’m going to go down on him. And then I do.
Wow. How Brown Bunny of you.
Well, it didn’t go that far. (Laughs.) But the scene did get cut out. Not that we showed everything, but you saw what I was doing to him. I thought it really made sense. In her own way, she’s being as manipulative as he is. She’s trying to get what she wants. They both are. That’s what the scene was about for me. It’s her gesture of coming into the shower and making him feel good, and in doing so, trying to get what she wanted. So I thought it was appropriate.
You’ve been out of the public eye for a few years. Your last movie was 2008’s How to Lose Friends and Alienate People. Why’d you go all Brian Wilson on us?
Well, we made All Good Things two years ago, and it never got released for all kinds of reasons. If it’d come out a year-and-a-half ago, would I still have taken a break? I honestly don’t know. I did take some time out, and I’m happy about it. I moved to New York and took a minute to just focus on myself. It was nice to slow down and not just jump into something. I could take a deep breath and really think about what I wanted to do next, and wait for a project that I was really passionate about.
