"Spider-Man" actress Kirsten Dunst opened up about supporting whatever career path her two children may follow to People while attending the New York Film Festival premiere of "The Power Of The Dog."

With Plemons by Dunst's side during filming, it is no surprise that their children became the hot topic during an interview with People Magazine at the premiere. Dunst shared that she will always support her children:

"Listen, if they want to be actors, I'll support my children whatever they want to do."

Their children are not the only things the couple has shared, as they are used to sharing the spotlight too. The pair first met on set for the series "Fargo" in 2015 and started dating a year and a half later.
