Kirsten Dunst has said that her large breasts would have made her a bad choice to star in Lars von Trier's Antichrist.



The Melancholia star suggested that Charlotte Gainsbourg was more suitable for the controversial role because of her lower profile and smaller chest.

"That kind of film (Antichrist) is harder for someone like me to get away with. I'm more in the public eye than Charlotte," Dunst told The Guardian.

She continued: "It's something about Charlotte's body, too. You couldn't have someone like me, with big breasts, in that film.

"Charlotte's thin and her breasts are small and that's easier to watch somehow. For someone like me to do that film - it would almost be ridiculously shocking."

Antichrist starred Gainsbourg and Willem Dafoe as a couple trying to recover from the death of their son. The film features scenes of explicit sex and genital self-mutilation.
