Feeling the depression that she got from showbiz, Kirsten Dunst learns the lesson by not allowing her future daughter to get involved in acting.
Kirsten Dunst has vowed to never let her future daughter become an actress. The star - who has been acting since she was three and shot to fame when she starred in 'Interview with the Vampire' aged just 11 - admits the pressure of being a child star contributed to the depression she suffered last year.
Kirsten, who doesn't currently have any children, said: "I'd never put any daughter of mine through acting because, while I loved acting and was happy working as a child, looking back, my happiness always came from pleasing other people - always. It came from satisfying the director or my mother or my acting coach, not from pleasing myself."
The '
Spider-Man 3' star admits she felt a "lot of anger" towards her mother for pushing her into acting. She said: "My mother told me that when I was born she just knew that I was destined to be an actress. It's not a natural way to grow up, and acting was never a dream for me. It was the only thing I knew - it was just my life. For a while there was a time when I had a lot of anger towards my mother because of what she did to me. Now I understand what kind of woman she is - she always had the best intentions."
