Kirsten Dunst has spoken out about the darker side of Hollywood.
The actress, 41, began her career in showbusiness when she was cast in Interview with the Vampire at the age of 11.
In a new interview, Kirsten recalled one particular incident where an unnamed male director asked her a 'totally inappropriate' question when she was alone in his office aged 16 to discuss a sought-after role.
She said she confided in her mother Inez Rupprecht about the 'out of the blue' comment, who swiftly withdrew her from the project.
'I was only able to avoid that predatory side of the business because wherever I went, my mother was literally always right there,' Kirsten told The Telegraph.

'A male director had me in his office, by myself, and was asking me about this movie he wanted me for, and then, completely out of the blue, asked me this inappropriate question.
'Honestly, I’m not even sure he’s still working any more, it’s not something I like to reflect on. But I will say what he said was nothing to do with acting and it wasn’t that what he said was just ‘a bit off’. It was totally improper. And I remember sitting there and knowing that something was wrong, but with no idea what I should do.'
