Kirsten Dunst Calls Her Kiss With Brad Pitt 'Disgusting'

It's the dream of many a young lady and gent to get the chance to kiss Brad Pitt, Sexiest Man Alive for many a year and perfect specimen of a man circa "Fight Club."
But for one young lady, kissing the actor was nothing short of "disgusting," and that young lady is none other than Kirsten Dunst.
Dunst was just 11 years old when she had to give Pitt a peck as part of her role in "Interview with the Vampire," and she tells Bullett magazine that she found it hugely unpleasant:
Everyone at the time was like, ‘You’re so lucky you kissed Brad Pitt,’ but I thought it was disgusting. I didn’t kiss anyone else until I was 16, I think.
The result of kissing Pitt too soon? We may never know.
