Kirsten Dunst has revealed that her name has been mispronounced for years, with the actress stating that she has given up correcting people. The 43-year-old star, known for roles in Spider-Man, Fargo season 2, and Marie Antoinette, told Town & Country Magazine that many people get her first name wrong.
Dunst explained that she is often called 'Kris-tin', 'Ker-sten', or 'Keer-sten', with the latter being the correct pronunciation. She noted that English speakers frequently mispronounce her name, as did the Swedish and Hungarian crew on her latest project, The Entertainment System Is Down. 'Everyone messes up my name, so I give up, I don't care,' she said.
The actress is not alone in facing name mispronunciations. Other celebrities, such as Jenna Ortega and Demi Moore, have also addressed similar issues. Meanwhile, Emma Stone has discussed her real name, Emily, which she uses professionally due to a Screen Actors Guild conflict.
