Dakota Fanning Says She Doesn't Need To Talk To Sister Elle Every Day

Dakota Fanning is super smiley in this pic from her new cover story with Shape magazine’s July/August 2019 issue.

The 25-year-old Once Upon a Time in Hollywood actress opened up about her workout routine, giving back and why she doesn’t need to talk to her sister, Elle, every day. Check it:

On having a support system: “My sister, Elle, and I are really close. We always have been. We’re very different, but we’re very connected. We don’t talk every day, but we don’t have to. We just have that special bond. There’s no one I want to succeed more in this business than my sister, and I know she wants the same for me.”

On making a difference: “Giving back is very important to me. Volunteering has always been part of my life. I’ve learned that as much as it helps other people, it helps you too. Volunteering gives you perspective and an appreciation for your own circumstances. It makes the world better, and it makes you a better person.”

On her go-to workout: “I try to work out six days a week. I love to do Cardio Barre, a ballet-inspired cardio class. I’ve been taking it since I was in high school, and I’m obsessed. I also started doing AKT [a dance-based cardio and strength workout]. The first time I did it, I thought I was going to die! It was so tough in the best possible way.”
