Dakota Fanning & Andrew Scott Had Drastically Different Childhoods | Ask Me Anything | ELLE

Dakota Fanning & Andrew Scott may portray characters with a complicated relationship in the new Netflix mini-series 'Ripley,' but off-screen their banter is unmatched. The actors sat down with ELLE for a round of Ask Me Anything where Andrew Scott gets honest about his most Irish traits, including his love for Riverdance, and Dakota Fanning confesses who can leave her starstruck.

"Kurt Russell gave me a horse." plus Andrews reaction?! I'm dead. That was so funny.

[@jameswright8279]

She knew it was going to be an insane sentence and still said it. Love her

[@jackj5368]

My life is so much better because I felt compelled to read your comment, @dominiqueeden.

[@xxjea]

LOL at Andrew throwing his card away when he wasn't supposed to! Still getting those games wrong 😂

[@kyliesorenson2114]

he ALWAYS gets games wrong haha kills me

[@johnpaulwickhamjr.3094]

​@@kyliesorenson2114Is that Camila Mendes and Rudy Mancuso? Post me back and highlighted.

[@_bebeboudeur_]

i need andrew scott to live stream his reaction watching twilight

[@tamiresnogueira8694]

"Kurt Russell gave me a horse." REACTION WAS PRICELESS

[@AndreaMartinez-yx6zv]

These 2 seem so fun to hang out with

[@delulu.lulu.]

Andrew Scott is becoming one of my favorite actors of all time. His passion and connection to others is unmatched. I know he’s a hard worker but I hope he takes time for some rest and relax because it’s well deserved ❤

[@littlewhiner3731]

The one dislike is from the Twilight baby

[@IndomitableT]

Thank you so much for making me burst out in laughter❣️😁

[@jordandurfee6228]

Dakota Fanning, the woman that you are - I LOVE her. Not only is she extremely talented, she seems like a genuine gem. Such a sweetheart, so down to earth. Her and Elle both. She just seems like a truly wonderful human being!

[@melinateix]

Dakota and Elle Fanning are so sweet! They're always shining in interviews

[@fieldsofhorsesroam8488]

These two are a delight! Sweet, down to earth, no egos and brilliant actors!

[@denisethegood]

Watching Ripley - after having watched the movie more than 50 times - it took me a while to shed the Matt Damon, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow expectations … then came episode 3!!! Oh my my my … Andrew is brilliant! As a fellow non-driver, I feel an even stronger bond with him! ❤

[@emilyelizabeth4243]

Dakota is literally the most humble person ever

[@deetsitmeisterjd]

Just watched Ripley, I think it's cemented my opinion that he is the "current" greatest actor going.

[@juliewillard1367]

Totally agree…menacingly mesmerising.

[@katiamartinelli3911]

With Cillian Murphy and Mark Ruffalo 😊

[@backstreetfangirlforlife9401]

I Think She And Elle Talk The Same And Sound Alike Andrew Is The Most Humble Attractive Irish Actor I Love

[@evanssonandromanogersfan7185]

I Agree With You On This One I Think Andrew Is Attractive With All This Irish Hotness And Can Be My New Celebrity Crush😩😍

[@evanssonandromanogersfan7185]

And Dakota She’s Kind Of Gorgeous, Pretty, And Beautiful

[@tracyp444]

And with this my crush on Andrew deepens to a wicked level ....😊❤

[@classactsexpertiseandinspi4815]

Andrew is such an enhancement to the planet, he's a great dramatic actor, but I think he could also be great at comedy - he would do a great Felix Unger in the odd couple. Maybe a remake with Paul Mescal as his flatmate the sloppy sports journalist.

[@miralyse.3846]

I'd call Fleabag a comedy.

[@breannaeastman7379]

He is so so so charismatic!

[@juliewillard1367]

Omg Ripley was the best thing I have seen in years. It was beautifully shot in the most beautiful locations in Italy. Many places that I have been to in Italy which took me back. It was sublime and Andrew Scott and Dakota were brilliant in it. I may just watch it all again ❤

[@mjw12345]

Just wish it had more Dakota! She reads Ripley from Hour One - her expressions are so epic revealing. Some of the best performances I've seen.

[@rosey_ie]

I think there are 2 things about Andrew that I think are super Irish. One is his down-to-earth nature and having no apparent store in “celebrity.” And the other is his WONDERFUL and frequent use of cursing 🤩😆

[@comradeabby3141]

Lovely interview. And some well researched questions!

[@DorothyOzmaLover]

They're such darlings so this is a gift!

[@danielbarrero2815]

they’re both amazing :)

[@andr3alau]

This is the cutest and the most unexpected duo! 💜 Can't wait to watch Ripley

[@JoeBreeVideos]

What a great duo 💕 Love them

[@evap.5121]

Nice. I clicked because this combo grabbed my interest and now I have a new series to watch

[@devanmoran]

Dakota fanning i was surprised to see her in the movie once upon a time in hollywood (: haven't seen her in long time

[@Ronnie7MB]

Dakota is such a vibe! I've always loved her 🥰

[@jbaby362]

I love that Andrew was being all cute on the All of Us Strangers tour and now he's tossing cards around 😂

[@fmm3487]

andrew scott is a legend

[@sylvanus2554]

Andrew Scott is so funny! He’s so charming and Dakota Fanning is fun and cool. This was fun to watch!

[@celly589]

I was obsessed with the movie dreamer as a kid. I had it on repeat!

[@GodsMemeTV]

2:28 - oh. Didnt know this. Sick 🤷‍♂😂

[@fantasyk87]

Dakota has worked consistently since she started, even if some were small or indie movies, she’s really talented and kept her head straight. Can’t wait to see what she’ll do next.

[@RalRals]

Gotta love Andrew!🤣♥️

[@rmannayr2129]

DAKOTA IS A GREAT ACTRESS!

[@monmothma3358]

Andrew Scott seems like such a sweet and warm person, but in moments like 2:39 you get why people want him for "evil" roles. The thing that happen to his eyes when he gets shocked about the baby scene...

[@CrizZap24]

Holy shat, she's gorgeous and sooo humble. Dream girl!

[@cariboocats236]

He's so funny and he brings out her funny. Great pairing

[@wisdumb8447]

her and elle sound exactly alike

[@rmannayr2129]

DAKOTA IS SO FUNNY!

[@constanzanavarro821]

Every time they give Andrew cards in one of this interviews he doesn’t know what to to with them😂

[@rmannayr2129]

DAKOTA IS SO BEAUTIFUL!

[@TheYayoii]

That's a gorgeous man

[@bobburroughs6241]

Great guys and a wonderful series. I think the 'love of Riverdance' may have been a lighthearted throwaway, cos it's typically Irish like Guinness innit?

[@IndomitableT]

Indeed, you are right❣️🤭

[@rosey_ie]

Most certainly 😄

[@KristineMaitland]

Andrew is reading 📚 my mind. Tailoring all the way!

[@joysharma5705]

These 2 are hilarious 😂 they ❤❤are very cute n funny

[@ollieoliver3356]

An Ivory Cage: The Andrew Scott Story

[@moniquedenouden9289]

It’s too soon after Andrew and Paul Mescal did this. I’m not ready.

[@jonathand8873]

Andrew is becoming an irish national treasure.

[@Jinkook-wu1pu]

Nicola and Luke please and plz them playing song association because they both are amazing singers in karaoke

[@DeeMontezx1]

[@henrymumba6427]

[@carlostrauffler2434]

[@maryh.93]

3:36 [sighs] arm touch

[@maryh.93]

5:32 "not being on social media publicly" i was going to say 'oh so he is!', but i remembered julianne moore accidentally outed his @ 😂 (or maybe he didn't mind to be tagged at all, he's not going to accept people anyway haha)

[@johnmccann8319]

Andrew is so typical Irish!

[@vmateo2842]

ME thinking it was pronounced MesKAL not MeSOUL 😭

[@rosey_ie]

It’s pronounced MESS-kul 😃

[@AlanCepeda-ty7hk]

I love dakota when she whas a kid and now she is a princes

[@rmannayr2129]

IT'S DAKOTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ethanlikesboats]

[@carlostrauffler2434]

[@solace1978]

Is he changing outfits for interviews? Because she's worn this same outfit for 3 while he's in different clothes???

[@castoputa]

Oh immediately became the best people in the world to be stuck in a lift with
