What Do Kirsten Dunst and Scott Disick Have in Common?

Even though Kirsten Dunst shot to fame as a 12-year-old by playing a child vampire (and also one of the the most badass board game players ever), she actually entered pop culture history as a mere toddler. In 1986, she appeared on the cover of Claudia and the Phantom Phone Calls, the second book in the hugely popular The Baby-sitters Club series. It would appear, however, that Kirsten didn’t cherish the BSC as part of her childhood the way many of us did. "I was a child model/actress and I did it strictly for the money," she said.
Perhaps a less-surprising “I was once a young adult cover model” confession: Scott Disick. It seems that Kourtney Kardashian’s other (not better) half once posed for Heartland, a series of books about a horse farm in Virginia. Though Disick hasn’t publicly addressed his early modeling gigs, his fellow cover model described him as “so shy” with “no sense of real style.” Whaaaat.
