Kirsten Dunst: I'll never let my daughter on the stage

Actress says her future kids won't be following in her footsteps

Spider-Man 3 star Kirsten Dunst says she'd hate for any daughter of hers to become an actress.

The star - who shot to fame when she starred with Tom Cruise 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, 25, who doesn't currently have any children, tells Live magazine: '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.

'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.'
