Kirsten Dunst became the latest big-name actor to admit using real drugs on the set of her movie - in this case Woodshock - though, as she tells it, she wasn't doing it in the name of method. It was more just a goof.

She appeared on Jimmy Kimmel to admit that she accidentally smoked a joint, thinking it was actually a fake:

"We were doing this one scene where, obviously in the movie I don't smoke that many, but when you're doing takes you're doing one after the next after the next and I wasn't eating that much at the time and so I, after we were done with the scene I went back to this little bedroom to rest and I started to feel like I was losing my mind. I went to the bathroom. I'm pacing. I'm like, 'Laura,' to the director, 'There's something wrong with me. I think I need to go to the hospital. Like there's something seriously up. I feel like I'm losing my mind.' I'm shaking. I'm hot. I'm just flipping out. So one of the producers comes in, and they're like 'how do you feel?' I was like 'I feel terrible. I don't know what's wrong with me.' He goes back. He looks at all of the, you know, everything that I smoked to make sure everything's ok. He came back. He was like, 'oh you smoked a full blunt on one of the takes.'"

At least she has that experience for if she ever needs to play a stoner in future...

Her accidental highness actually meant that production had to stop for the day, while she was sent home to recuperate, and presumably eat lots of Doritos.
