Kirsten shot to fame when she was just 12-years-old, starring alongside Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt in Interview With The Vampire.
But despite her very long time being a movie star, she has revealed how people tend to get her name wrong.
Kirsten also revealed how Brits are the worst for it.
The Hollywood star said she has answered to everything including “criss-ten”, “ker-stin”.
In a TikTok video from Town and Country magazine, she said: “I mean, everyone messes up my name, so I give up.
“I don’t care… I don’t blame people. Like in England, they don’t really say my name right.
“The last set, everyone was saying my name wrong. There was like Swedish people and people from Hungary. You just give up.”
Kirsten then confirmed the correct way to say her name is, “Keer-sten”.
However, poking fun at her annoyance, she added: “But again, who cares? It’s fine.”
Fans were left bowled over by this revelation, and one commented: “Omg I thought it was ‘Ker-stin’ my whole life!”
Another added: “I genuinely will never understand the difference between Kirsten and Kirsten!”
This one joked; “‘Omg she’s the reason everyone mispronounces my name. It’s ‘Kur-sten’.”
This isn’t the first time that Kirsten has talked about what people call her.
She previously revealed the nickname she had on the set of the Spider-Man films which she shot in the noughties – and she DID NOT like it.
In the trilogy – which ran from 2022 until 2007 – she played Mary Jane Watson alongside Tobey Maguire’s Peter Parker.
However, whilst filming the blockbuster movies she was given a nickname.
Speaking to Marie Claire magazine: “It was a joke, but on Spider-Man, they would call me ‘girly-girl’ sometimes on the walkie-talkie.
“But I never said anything … Like, don’t call me that.”
Speaking about the era in which it happened, Kirsten said: ‘”You didn’t say anything (then). You just took it.”
