Elle Fanning on Choosing Movie Roles: 'You Have To Think It's Fun'

Elle Fanning wears a baby blue coat while walking to the Milky Way restaurant with her family in Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon (December 16).

The 14-year-old actress and current Bullett cover girl recently chatted about her life outside of Hollywood.

“When I’m doing movies, it’s only a couple months out of the year. We took five weeks to film Ginger & Rosa, and then I had a whole year to just be at home, back in the routine again, going to school, ballet after school�a whole normal thing,” she shared. “You can’t just be talking about your movie all the time.”

Elle added on choosing her roles carefully, “You have to think it’s fun. That’s why I like to do it, you know. If you’re not having fun playing the character or with the people, what’s the point? The role definitely has to be something connected to me, and that reaches out to me. But also I want to make sure everyone’s supportive of it, obviously. My family makes sure it’s something I really want to do.”
