Kirsten Dunst Shares Update on Her and Jesse Plemons’ 4-Year-Old Son After Health Scare
Kirsten Dunst Reveals Why Her Son Got Into a Fight With Jimmy Kimmel’s Son at School
Life on the road isn’t always the easiest—just ask Kirsten Dunst.
The Power of the Dog actress—who shares Ennis, 7, and James, 4, with husband Jesse Plemons—shared that her younger son had a “serious health scare” while she filmed her upcoming film The Entertainment System Is Down in Budapest earlier this year.
As Kirsten recounted to Town & Country in an interview published August 20, Kirsten and Jesse rented a house and enrolled Ennis in school in Hungary in January with the plan for everyone to stay for the duration of the film’s six-month shoot—but things took an “extremely frightening” turn when James got sick.
Jesse took the boys back to Los Angeles to be around their extended support system, which left Kirsten alone in Budapest for the rest of filming—though she did fly home in April for a quick family visit.
While the Bring It On star wouldn’t share details of James’ illness, she did confirm that “everyone is fine now.” But that doesn’t take away from how scary the situation was in real time, particularly given that she had to be away from her family for work.
