Sofia Coppola And Thomas Mars’ 16-Year-Old Daughter Went Viral For Her TikTok About Being Grounded After Trying To Charter A Helicopter

March 22, 2023 / Posted by:

The last time filmmaker Sofia Coppola caught some attention for one of her projects, it was mostly because she’d been enraging NYC citizens by messing with their parking, so it must sting just a little that her 16-year-old daughter with Phoenix frontman, Thomas Mars, has taken the internet by storm by making and deleting some forbidden TikToks about her life as the baby of a nepo baby. Whether Romy Croquet Mars’ TikTok that served sly family shade weaved into her captivating 49-second tale of being grounded for trying to charter a helicopter with her dad’s credit card was just painfully out of touch or clever sardonic wit hasn’t been addressed, but either way, the people want more.

Kirsten Dunst Refused Sofia Coppola’s Suggestion To Lose Weight For Movie

There are so many tales of actresses being told by a director or an agent to replace their normal diet of food with low-calorie air before a film shoot in an attempt to lose weight. Kirsten Dunst is the latest to say that a director looked at her and thought, “I like it, but can I get it in an extra-small?

Kristen and her frequent director/friend Sofia Coppola recently spoke to Variety about their upcoming remake of The Beguiled, which is premiering at Cannes this month. I’ve never seen Kirsten Dunst on a scale, but I can imagine she probably clocks in at somewhere between thin-ish and normal. That must not have been what Sofia had in mind for the character of Edwina Dabney, and she asked Kirsten if she would lose some weight. Kirsten said no.

“It’s so much harder when you’re 35 and hate working out,” Dunst says. She even used the shoot’s location – in rural Louisiana- as an excuse. “I’m eating fried chicken and McDonald’s before work. So I’m like, ‘We have no options! I’m sorry I can’t lose weight for this role.'”

Kirsten says Sofia was “very understanding.” Considering they’re half-smiling together on the cover of a magazine, I’d say they’re still friends. Probably better, even. Something like that tests a friendship. Not the suggested weight-loss part – the part about fried chicken and McDonald’s. Imagine if Sofia had said that wasn’t a good enough excuse? Finding out who you thought was your friend has such little respect for fried chicken and McNuggets is a real true colors moment.
