Elle Fanning Covers The New Issue Of Porter Edit
Elle Fanning is featured on the cover of the new issue of Porter Edit magazine. The young actress is on the cover to promote her new film, Teen Spirit. Highlights from her interview are below.
On auditioning for the film: “I wasn’t on anybody’s radar about getting this part. I saw a press release announcing that Max had written it and was directing, and I’m always looking for movies where I’d be able to sing, because people don’t really know that I can. But I always loved singing growing up. It was either, be a pop star or an actress. When I was a little kid, I would put on these shows and dance to The Pussycat Dolls, Gwen Stefani, Fergie…”
On reprising her role as Princess Aurora in Maleficent 2: “I want Aurora to be a character that [girls] can look up to, who’s strong and all that. But Angelina [Jolie] and I were talking about this: Maleficent, of course, has the dark side, and Aurora is the one who loves pink and is the light and she’s not afraid to be feminine. I think it’s beautiful that I get to represent [someone] who is strong in her beliefs, but is also unwavering in staying true to herself. I wear dresses the whole time throughout the film… I don’t have a moment where I burst into armor, you know what I mean? There’s nothing wrong with loving your feminine side. I think as women we should really love that part of us.”
