Kirsten Dunst discussed the progress that has been achieved in the film and TV industry since the MeToo movement took hold, during an on-stage interview on Thursday at Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea Film Festival.
Asked by an audience member whether male actors and directors had got the memo on MeToo, she fired back: “I think we’ve put a lot of people away. I feel like people definitely can’t get away with what they used to. That’s for sure.”
She added: “Everybody has an eye out now. So I think that it’s a much safer environment for all of us.”
Speaking about her experience when she was a young actress, she said: “I was lucky. I had a good family, a good mother. My mother was always around. Like, I never had anything, you know, negative happen to me like that. I was very protected.”
