The actress claims the Americans are fickle, the French are better

Remember Kristen Dunst? The actress that played the love interest in the Spider-Man franchise that wasn't the cool one? Well, she would certainly like to give you a piece of her mind and remind that she's still alive and well, but not thanks to you.

Speaking with the French publication Madame Figaro, Kristen complains a lot about the American media, who's just as fickle and easy to forget, as is the general public. Basically, in her view, she thinks that she's been forgotten since she hasn't done any major work in a Hollywood blockbuster.

And that's why she's taken her sorrows to France, a county in which she feels she's still appreciated and in which people still talk about her in high terms. She told the magazine, “I feel more appreciated, more special in France… in the United States, if you are not in the latest superhero movie, people will forget. In France, it is different; people still speak to me a lot about my former roles in more underground stuff.”

We're not sure, but it could be that her jibe about the superhero movie might be her way of complaining that she wasn't cast again in the Spider-Man remake, which, by the way, is way better than the first movies that starred Kristen Dunst and Tobey Maguire.

Of course, one can't also fail to notice that Kristen feels so special in France, that she's agreed to lose her top for the photo on the cover of the magazine, which some would call a blatant way of asking for attention (a lesson Rihanna learned well, based on the dress she wore last weekend).

The actress also speaks about some of her inspiring predecessors, actresses like Charlote Rampling, Gena Rowlands, Anjelica Houston and Julianne Moore, all of whom share one common quality: glamor.

“[They are] women who have confidence in themselves, who do not seek to prove anything,” says Dunst and adds bitterly “It is a quality that is lost among young actresses.” That too can be considered an indirect slap in the face of actress Emma Stone, who has basically replaced her in the Spider-Man movies, though she plays a different character, but one that is Spidey's love interest.

And when she talks about her more “underground stuff,” the actress is probably referring to her upcoming role in the movie “The Two Faces of January” in which she plays opposite Viggo Mortensen.
