We're going through a bit of a Kirsten Dunstaissance this year, as the lovely actress is scheduled to appear in two films in 2017, thanks to Sofia Coppola's highly anticipated remake of the Southern gothic classic The Beguiled and the Rodarte sisters' dramatic Woodshock . For The Beguiled , specifically, Kirsten found herself shooting in the South for a few months with the talented likes of Nicole Kidman, Elle Fanning, and Colin Farrell, as the film tells the sexual-tension-filled story of the events surrounding a wounded Union solider (Farrell) arriving at an all-girls boarding school to recuperate. (It's pretty spooky and kind of in the ilk of Big Little Lies .)

Kirsten and Sofia recently sat down for an interview with Variety , and the two got pretty candid about Sofia not-too-subtly requesting that Kirsten lose a few pounds for her role as a one of the school's teachers. And to that, Kirsten promptly said... nah.

Its so much harder when youre 35 and hate working out, Kirsten explained, adding that she simply couldn't resist those deep-fried rural Louisianian delights and, frankly, who could? Im eating fried chicken and McDonalds before work, she continued. "So Im like, We have no options! Im sorry I cant lose weight for this role. (Best. Breakfast. Ever.) In the end, Sofia was "very understanding" about her star's pushback she even feels she has a special big sisterly relationship with her and didn't pressure Kirsten to change her body anymore. With everything they've been through together Sofia previously directed Kirsten in The Virgin Suicides and Marie Antoinette we're glad to see the duo working this one out.

For women in Hollywood, Kirsten's situation wouldn't come as a surprise. British treasure Emma Thompson has recently spoken out about the " evil " pressure younger starlets receive to be thin, while Jennifer Lawrence has opened up about being threatened to be fired from projects if she didn't drop pounds. Somebody told me I was fat, that I was going to get fired if I didnt lose a certain amount of weight, she explained . "They brought in pictures of me where I was basically naked, and told me to use them as motivation for my diet. It was just that.

Kate Winslet has also been candid about how an old drama teacher of hers mentally prepared her for accepting only "fat girl parts." (What?!) So what I always feel in these moments is that any young woman who has ever been put down by a teacher, by a friend, by even a parent, just dont listen to any of it, because thats what I did I kept on going and I overcame my fears and got over my insecurities," she said . Her Academy Award would certainly agree.
