Kirsten Dunst Much to Learn

Friday, April 27, 2007

With “Spider-Man 3” out of filming, soon-to-be-25 Kirsten Dunst can take a break from the action scenes she doesn’t care for, anyway.  She eagerly works on developing “Sweet Relief,” a drama based on a true story of a woman who died in an Iraq car bombing in 2005.  American-born Marla Ruzicka founded the Campaign for Innocent Victims in Conflict and visited Iraq to count casualties and count victims.  Dunst looks forward to playing the challenging role in the film that will (hopefully) be in theaters in 2009.

Next month’s issue of Jane features Dunst and “Spider-Man 3” costar Bryce Dallas Howard on the cover.  Dunst says she wishes she were in her costar’s place: happily married with a child.  But for that, she needs a boyfriend, and she’s lately filled that role with Johnny Borrell, the front man for Razorlight.  She does want to soon be at home making dinner for someone she loves, but she feels too young to settle down.

Rumors that she might be getting married were unfounded.  She needs to learn more about relationships, and she isn’t ready.  Besides, you need someone special in your life to marry, and she says she doesn’t have anyone despite her current relationship with Johnny Borrel.  She does say she’ll never date an actor again.  That statement may come back to bite her, she realizes, but the number of nice actors she knows are few.

And Dunst evidently had fun Wednesday night after the UK premier of “Spider-Man 3.” The top London pub, the Hawley Arms, was graced by her presence in a pub spree her British boyfriend arranged.  She dumped the official after-party and came out tipsy.  Dunst loves Borrell for being a geek, she says, but she won’t leave her native U.S. for him.
