Elle Fanning Faints At The Chopard Trophee Dinner
Elle Fanning had quite the scare in Cannes this evening, May 20. The young actress fainted during the Chopard Trophee dinner.
According to Variety, “Festival director Thierry Fremaux had just introduced actor Francois Civil onstage when Fanning, star of The Beguiled and Maleficent, collapsed and fell off her chair nearby.
Fanning was sitting at a table next to sister Dakota Fanning, who helped the actress to her feet before security whisked them away.”
The site went on to say, “Colin Firth, who was seated close-by, quickly leapt to his feet and offered assistance to the dazed actress. Another shocked onlooker, actress Marion Cotillard, placed a hand over her heart as Fanning was taken away by security.”
