Now starring in the comedy How To Lose Friends & Alienate People, Dunst's regrets could be linked to her recent bout of depression, which saw her checking into Utah's Cirque Lodge, where the likes of Lindsay Lohan and Eva Mendes have also been treated.
It may have looked like she was having a blast to fans. After all who else can claim their first kiss was Brad Pitt? (She famously kissed Pitt during a scene in Interview With A Vampire when she was only 10 years old, playing a vampire called Claudia.)
But Dunst admits that, instead of being elated at winning the role of Claudia, she felt traumatised and that she was sobbing in the room because she didn't want to let anybody down.
Dunst's latest role, starring alongside Simon Pegg, is as an aspiring novelist and celebrity journalist begrudgingly working on a celebrity magazine in How to Lose Friends & Alienate People.
The film is based on the cutting 2001 memoir of the same name, by English celebrity journalist Toby Young about his time on fashion bible Vanity Fair.
What's next? Dunst wants to form an organisation to help women discuss their problems. She's also got a murder mystery, All Good Things, co-starring Ryan Gosling, scheduled for release next year and is hoping to play musician Deborah Harry in a movie about Blondie.
The actress laughs off reports she's dating Drew Barrymore's actor ex-boyfriend Justin Long, claiming she barely knows him.
