Elle Fanning Covers The New Issue Of FLAUNT Magazine

Elle Fanning is on the cover of the new issue of FLAUNT magazine. The young actress is on the cover to promote the latest season of her hit comedy series, The Great. Highlights from her interview are below.

On how her and her character, Catherine, have become intertwined: “I have been reflecting a lot on Catherine and myself and how our lives have intertwined. We did the pilot when I was 20 and now, I’m about to turn 25. I’ve been on this show during the most formative years of my life and Catherine has become imprinted on my soul. I wonder if it’s her who’s helped me, or is it me who has just put so much of myself into her? I’m not sure. The lines are starting to blur a lot with the both of us. But it is the most special part I’ve ever had.”

On the production company she started with her sister, Dakota: “I worked with this actor, I won’t say who, but he’s very established. But he said he’d never worked with a female director before,. And I was like ‘What?!’ It was so surprising to me. With our company [Lewellen Pictures] we try to have female writers and directors to tell any story—not just female-driven ones, although of course they’re a focus… but just because you’re a female director doesn’t mean that you have to tell a female-driven story.”
