“I was on the street when I got the call and I thought, 'Oh, shit. Now, now we're in trouble. And then I went to rehearsal and said 'Bad news, guys, so-and-so can't do this.' And Kirsten [Dunst] what did you say? You should ask Jesse. And I thought, Oh, that would be amazing,” he said.
“It was impressive luck. This makes it seem like I'm being disrespectful to the other actor. I'm not at all. It’s just that the film was very lucky to get Jesse,” he stated.
“Jesse was nearby. I was like, 'Let's ask Jesse to play this role,” Dunst added.
