Explaining your work to your children can be difficult, especially if they are very young. However, in an interview with Everyone magazine, Kirsten Dunst presented how she explains her recent success with her three-year-old son Ennis.

Earlier this week, the nominations for the 2022 SAG Awards were announced. In the category of Outstanding Performance by a Actress in a Supporting Role, Dunst was nominated for her work Strength Of The Dog.

The power of the dog is a 2021 psychological and hybrid western film in which Dunst takes on the role of Rose Gordon. Set in Montana in 1925, the film follows two rancher brothers, Phil (Benedict Cumberbatch) and George (Jesse Plemons). While Phil coldly mocks George as he returns home to his new wife, Phil soon learns that romance can happen to anyone.

The film received rave reviews from critics. It was nominated for seven awards at the Golden Globes and won three of them, including Best Motion Picture – Drama. It also received ten nominations at the Critics’ Choice Awards. In fact, along with Dunst, both Kodi Smit-McPhee and Benedict Cumberbatch have received SAG Award nominations for their work on the film.

However, in trying to explain this success to Ennis, Dunst compared it to something he enjoyed – the Nickelodeon hit series. Blaze and the Monster Machines.

“Listen, I tried to explain to my son that his favorite TV show is called Blaze, Blaze is this red monster truck, and he’s always done well in races. So basically mom is racing like Blaze! ‘ explained Dunst.

However, Dunst said that Ennis and her other son did not fully understand the situation. “It’s great that they either don’t know or understand. But I feel very happy to be recognized by my co-stars.”

Dunst will face four other actresses for this year’s SAG awards, including West storyby Ariana Debose, Nightmare Alleyby Cate Blanchett, Belfastby Catriona Balfe and Passby Ruth Negga.
