Kirsten Dunst was on Monday night's Jimmy Kimmel Live to talk about season two of Fargo, the FX drama in which she has a starring role. Jimmy Kimmel said the show is great and Dunst agreed: "It's nice to promote something and not have to lie about it." Kimmel asked her to elaborate about which projects she's lied about, and she wisely declined. Dunst put on weight for Fargo, Kimmel noted, then asked, "Is it a nightmare or is it a fun thing to have to gain weight for a role?" Dunst chose option C.
"Well, listen: I was in Calgary," she said. "It was cold, and so I ordered in a lot of pizza, a lot of Thai... I just had different cheeses and breads together, and now I'm like, 'Yeah, I gained weight for this role.' But really I just sat in my bed, watched Friday Night Lights, and, like, ate." Kimmel pivoted to Friday Night Lights, and for fans of the show, Dunst's Fargo costar and boyfriend were in the show and original movie, respectively, and she has a lot of juicy gossip she won't tell you. Enjoy the tease below. Peter Weber
