Kirsten Dunst delighted fans by making a surprise appearance at a double feature screening of two of her most iconic films, Bring It On and The Virgin Suicides, celebrating their 25th anniversaries. The event, held at Hollywood Forever Cemetery as part of Cinespia’s ‘Kirsten Dunst Slumber Party,’ brought together fans for a nostalgic evening under the stars.
Dunst, who starred as cheerleading captain Torrance Shipman in Bring It On and as Lux Lisbon in The Virgin Suicides, took the stage to the delight of the crowd. Quoting her famous line from Bring It On, she said, “I’m T-T-Torrance, your captain Torrance. Let’s go, Toros!” The actress expressed her surprise and excitement, saying, "Oh my god, you guys. This is the craziest thing I’ve ever witnessed in my life. I am so overwhelmed. My friends and family are here, I’m gonna watch with you guys. I haven’t seen any of these movies since I was a teen myself, with an audience. I’m so honored."
Dunst also thanked Cinespia and its founder, John Wyatt, before introducing the first film of the evening. She later shared a video on Instagram, singing along to the opening cheer scene from Bring It On.
In Bring It On, directed by Peyton Reed, Dunst portrayed a high school cheerleading captain who discovers that her team’s award-winning routines were stolen from a rival squad. In The Virgin Suicides, Sofia Coppola’s directorial debut, Dunst played Lux Lisbon, one of five sisters living in a suburban Detroit neighborhood in 1975. The film, based on Jeffrey Eugenides’ 1993 novel, explores the tragic lives of the Lisbon sisters through the eyes of neighborhood boys.
