OlderElle Fanning Opens Up About Aurora Being A Positive Role Model
Elle Fanning is opening up about how she views Aurora as a powerful princess in the Maleficent film series.
The 20-year-old actress, who plays the young royal opposite Angelina Jolie in the film and its’ upcoming sequel, spoke to Porter Magazine as part of her cover story about Aurora being a positive role model, rather than just a sleeping beauty.
“I want Aurora to be a character that [girls] can look up to, who’s strong and all that,” she says.
Elle adds, “But Angelina [Jolie] and I were talking about this: Maleficent, of course, has the dark side, and Aurora is the one who loves pink and is the light and she’s not afraid to be feminine. I think it’s beautiful that I get to represent [someone] who is strong in her beliefs, but is also unwavering in staying true to herself.”
“I wear dresses the whole time throughout the film… I don’t have a moment where I burst into armor, you know what I mean? There’s nothing wrong with loving your feminine side. I think as women we should really love that part of us.”
Maleficent 2 is out in theaters on October 18th.
