Elle Fanning Covers The October Issue Of Vanity Fair Magazine

Elle Fanning is on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine. The young actress is on the cover of the October issue to promote her most recent project, The Great. Highlights from her interview are below.

On one of her first acting jobs with Smucker’s: “They loved me on the set because I would eat them and eat them when all the other kids would spit the sandwich out. They were like, ‘This kid’s great!'”

On The Beguiled: “I was 18 and my mom didn’t have to be on the set with me anymore, which was kind of a big moment for me. My mom knew Sofia from when I did Somewhere, and [The Beguiled costar] Kirsten Dunst is a friend of ours, so she was like, “Okay, I feel safe that you’re on your own with people that I know.'”

On playing Catherine The Great: “The real Catherine the Great was very free sexually and people put her down for that. Sex is a big part of this show, and I was excited to explore that side of the work. Personally, I love being naked. I walk around naked, like, all the time. It’s a part of life!”
