Early this year, Kirsten Dunst experienced “every parent’s nightmare.”
In an interview with Town & Country magazine, Dunst recalled her four-year-old son James, whom she shares with actor Jesse Plemons, experiencing a “serious health scare” while she was in Budapest filming The Entertainment System Is Down. While filming overseas, Plemons and their two sons came to stay, and they enrolled their older son, Ennis, in school, but James endured his health issue.
While they don’t disclose the specifics of his health concern, the Civil War actress recalls the incident being like the movie “Final Destination, where you’re imagining all the things that could go wrong, worst-case scenarios happening to your child,” she said. “I have never seen that movie. But I know the concept. That’s how it feels to be a mother at times.”
Though everyone is “fine now,” Dunst admitted that “it was an extremely frightening time and enough to send the family back to their extended support system in L.A.” However, The Power of the Dog star said that the experience “brought us together as a family in such a deeper way.”
Dunst is set to next star in the upcoming film, The Entertainment System Is Down from Swedish filmmaker Ruben Östlund (Triangle of Sadness, The Square.) The story is a satire that follows a long flight between England and Australia, where passengers are forced to deal with boredom when the entertainment system fails.
The movie’s star-studded cast includes Keanu Reeves, Daniel Brühl, Nicholas Braun, Julie Delpy, Tobias Menzies, Elle Piper, Connor Swindells, Daniel Webber, Lindsay Duncan, Allan Corduner, Wayne Blair, Dan Wyllie, Sofia Tjelta Sydness, Erin Ainsworth, Myles Kamwendo, among others. It’s expected to premiere at Cannes next year.
