Kirsten Dunst Reveals She Only Ate Pizza And Grilled Cheese For 'Fargo' Role (VIDEO)

Kirsten Dunst pretty much just got paid to sit around eating pizza and grilled cheese all day - basically a dream come true for anyone. While on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on Monday, the 33-year-old actress explained what she did to gain weight for her role as Peggy Blomquist on season 2 of "Fargo."

When asked if it was a nightmare, she strongly disagreed. "Yeah, I gained weight for this role," she told Kimmel. "I was in Calgary...it was cold, so I ordered in a lot of pizza...grilled cheese. I just had different cheese and breads together...But really, I just sat in my bed, watched 'Friday Night Lights' and, like, ate. That's what I did."

In the FX series, which premiered the same night she appeared on the late night show, Dunst plays the town's beautician, according to People. The second season is set in 1979 and takes place in South Dakota and Minnesota. She explained that she really does love the show and for once enjoys talking about something she's in.

"It's nice to, like, promote something and not have to lie about it," she said.
