 "Spider-Man: Kirsten Dunst reveals it was ‘miserable’ filming kissing scene with Tobey Maguire upside down")
In 2002’s Spider-Man, the upside-down kissing scene between Kirsten Dunst and Tobey Maguire turned out to be the most iconic scene of the year. However, in a recent interview, the actress revealed that filming the scene was actually quite ‘miserable’.
“I remember [the director] Sam Raimi giving me a book of famous kisses to be inspired but also, he really wanted to make it special even though it was kind of miserable actually doing it,” said Kirsten on The Jonathan Ross Show.
“It was pouring with rain, freezing, Tobey couldn’t breathe so it was almost like I was resuscitating him,” she added. Eventually, that kissing scene won the Best Kiss award at the MTV Movie & TV Awards in 2003.
The actress recently, grabbed the headlines in an interview with Marie Claire, when she explained how in her young days, her blonde looks would give an impression to male filmmakers that she is someone who would sleep with them if she desired to work with them.
Working with female directors like Jane Campion and Sofia Coppola has allowed her to keep a safe distance from male filmmakers.
“I saw the power in women very young. I think that’s helped with…not needing male attention in my career. I think that’s probably why I migrated to so many female directors at a younger age, because I didn’t want to feel that way," said the actress.
On the professional front, Kirsten is gearing up for the release of Civil War, which will release on 12th April. Directed by Alex Garland, the film also features Wagner Moura, Cailee Spaeny, Stephen McKinley Henderson, and Nick Offerman in key roles.
Helmed by Ex Machina and Annihilation fame, Civil War is dubbed as an “adrenaline-fuelled thrill ride through a near-future fractured America”. It had its world premiere at South by Southwest on March 14 and will hit the screens on April 12.
