Dakota Fanning Almost Ruined Her 23rd Birthday When She Left Her ID at Home! (Video)

Dakota Fanning is sharing a crazy story about her latest birthday!

The actress just celebrated her “golden birthday” – aka she turned 23 years old on February 23.

During her appearance on The Tonight Show on Friday (March 3), Dakota let host Jimmy Fallon know what went down when she and her friends headed to Atlantic City, N.J., to celebrate.

Her story involves almost ruining everything by forgetting her ID and a creepy man who sat next to her when she gambled.

Jimmy then gave Dakota a super cool birthday present!

Watch below.

FYI: Dakota is wearing a J. Mendel dress.
