'Spider-Man' star Kirsten Dunst has said that she did not face casting couch in Hollywood because she never "gave off that vibe".

The issue of sexual exploitation in Hollywood is in focus as former teen actor has accused 'X-Men' director Bryan Singer of raping him when he was just 15.

Dunst, herself a former childstar, told director Sofia Coppola in an interview for W magazine that "you court that stuff".

In reply to Coppola's "What if a director pounces on you while working. Has that ever happened?," Dunst replied in negative.

"No. I don't give off that vibe. I think that you court that stuff, and to me it's crossing a country that would hinder that trust in your working relationship," Dunst said.
