Kirsten Dunst Not Ready To Be 30.

Kirsten Dunst has revealed that she has the same fears as all the other women reaching the big 3-0, finding someone to have kids with.

Dunst turns 30 next year and says she is terrified she will not find a man to have kids with.

The Spider-Man star told Lucky magazine she want to settle down, but fears that she won’t find the right man in time. Proving that even the rich and famous are slaves to their biological clock.

Dunst said: ‘I thought when I reached 30 I’d have a lot more figured out. Until you have a kid, you’re just looking for your partner. And guys have a Peter Pan vibe. They’re 35 and they act like they’re 25.’

‘That’s what scares me about being in my 30s – not finding someone to have kids with. I can’t wait to re-live life in a little kid’s way,’

‘I’m so ready for that lifestyle – get a little place upstate and have them go to school up there.’ She told Lucky.
