Kirsten Dunst Delights Fans with Surprise Appearance at Cinespia’s Bring It On and The Virgin Suicides Anniversary Screening

The Academy Award-Nominated Actress Quotes Her Iconic Cheerleading Line, Expresses Gratitude

Beloved Academy Award-nominated actress Kirsten Dunst made a surprise appearance at Hollywood Forever Cemetery on Saturday during Cinespia’s “Kirsten Dunst Slumber Party,” celebrating the 25th anniversaries of her films Bring It On and The Virgin Suicides. It goes to show that you never know who you might see at a Cinespia screening. 

Dunst, who most recently starred in Alex Garland’s film Civil War, delighted fans by quoting her iconic line from Bring It On: “I’m T-T-Torrance, your captain Torrance,” before rallying the crowd with the cheer, “Let’s go, Toros!” She later shared a video on Instagram of herself singing along to the opening cheer scene, much to the excitement of her followers.

One social media user said, “Kiki?” in an Instagram story, using the entertainment industry’s nickname for the well-liked actress. Dunst thanked the founder of Cinespia, John Wyatt, and the organization saying, “Oh my god, you guys. This is the craziest thing I’ve ever witnessed in my life. I am so overwhelmed. My friends and family are here; I’m gonna watch with you guys. I haven’t seen any of these movies since I was a teen myself with an audience. I’m so honored.”
