Don't worry about Kirsten Dunst losing her 15-year-old cheer stripes. She still has some chants memorized.
While appearing on The Late Late Show With James Corden, the 33-year-old Hollywood regular reflected on her breakout lead role in Bring It On that still captivates audiences despite being over a decade old.
"We were just a couple of like young people in San Diego making a Universal movie that no body cared about," Dunst remembered about making the film. "None of us knew that it would become a hit. The opening weekend we were all surprised."
The 2000 teen comedy centered around the drama of Rancho Carne High School's cheerleading squad quickly became a cult classic for younger generations. With its memorable leading then-unknown stars, including Dunst and Gabrielle Union, and unforgettable cheer routines, it's easy to see why it became a financial success early on.
"People wanted to see it. It was refreshing," Dunst added. "It worked."
The cheers were so catchy, Dunst admitted she remembers them 15 years later. When James Corden asked her if she still remembers any of the chants, she replied confidently, "Of course I do." Then came the inevitable impromptu performance.
The Fargo actress quickly broke out into a rhythm, reciting the memorable mantra beginning with "Burrr, it's cold in here. There must be some Toros in the atmosphere!" Nicely done, Dunst! The actress clearly hasn't lost her touch, even if she has forgotten some of the choreography.
Recently, the cast reunited in celebration of the film's anniversary—maybe they were able to jog each other's memories about those moves.
