Dakota Fanning is a Gym Junkie

Just before hitting up the nail salon with the girls, Dakota Fanning walks and talks with her dad Steve as they head to the gym in Los Angeles on Thursday afternoon (December 24).

The 15-year-old actress, wearing her fave Free City sweats, recently chatted with Movies Online about her recent reign as Homecoming Princess.

Dakota shared, “I thought it was really important to have the high school experience. It was something that I wanted. I think it’s really great to have that balance of like a completely normal life and then a completely abnormal life. I really didn’t see a reason why I wouldn’t be able to do both and I was lucky that I was able to go to a school that lets me leave and everything. I don’t know if there’s a ‘how to’ guide as to how I balance it. It just kind of has happened and I have really great friends and great family and the best of both.”

Dakota‘s next flick, The Runaways, will premiere at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival in January.
