Happy 22nd Birthday to Elle Fanning! Read about our February cover star here (or watch her in 'All the Bright Places' on Netflix!)
I meet Elle Fanning in a London hotel restaurant, where she jumps up to hug me the minute I arrive. It is noon on Sunday, “so should we order breakfast or lunch?” she asks the waiter, who is just as uncertain. He says she probably knows the menu better than he does by now, given that she’s been living here for six months while filming Hulu’s forthcoming show, about Catherine the Great. I tell her I want this interview to be a natural conversation rather than a recitation of a list of questions.
She is such easy company, with a certain bubbly innocence. You can see why Disney cast her as Princess Aurora against Angelina Jolie’s Maleficent. It’s a role she first took on at age 14, but she’s 21 now, and after doing last fall’s sequel,she and Jolie are on different terms. “Angelina’s and my relationship definitely changed. She didn’t have to look at me as a kid; she didn’t have to censor what she could talk about.” She laughs. “That was exciting, to have that relationship.
, out this month on Netflix and based on the best-selling YA novel of the same name by Jennifer Niven. Fanning not only costars in it, she is also a producer of the touching, painful movie about two adolescents beset by psychological darkness who fall in love. Suicide is a big topic. “Depression and mental illness in young people is so real, and it’s something people don’t want to talk about and want to shy away from.
“She’s just got this supernatural talent that effortlessly flows out of her,” echoes Nicole Kidman, her costar in. “She has such a well of emotions that she can use; it just sits at her fingertips. Her skin flushes, her eyes light up, her voice changes, her body moves in such a way. She’s sort of like Leonardo DiCaprio, where she’s just had extraordinary talent since the moment she was born. I think she’s been raised with an immense amount of love, which has given her a unique self-confidence.
