[@emilygalant680]

it's so sweet Dakota and her younger sister Elle have the same laugh!!!

[@hobypop]

I love Dekota, I hope she stays as respectful, talented, and cute as she is now :)

[@scissorhandslove9]

I hadn't see any pictures of Dakota before today, and I was stunned to see her now! She certainly is growing up. This is a great interview!

[@krognak]

She deserves to be in so many bigger films.

[@tvandmoviefreak]

i love dakota! she is so talented! in every movie! she is gonna do an amazing job playing jane!

[@koxa323]

shes is so amazing! talented, smart, so wholesome, sweet, funny, grounded.

[@staceyhunt891866]

Her first movie was with Sean Penn and Michelle pfeiffer (i am sam), she was only 7 and recieved a critics choice award for her performance. Since then she has been in many more movies and is considered an brilliant actress :)

[@HondaRulzz4]

she is amazing and she grew up so fast!!

[@happybunnysmiles]

She's such an amazing actress!! I loved her in all her movies, and my favorite is Hide and Seek :]

[@tarbyn]

WOW...seriously how does she always have so much energy??

[@Altonahh10]

Fanning is probably the most promising actress of the last 20 years. Even when she was very young she had a brilliance I've never seen before in an actor or actress that young.

[@Tarebear120]

Wow The Secret Life of Bees is so good! I LOVE Dakota. She is maturing very nicely.

[@ChilenoPiscean22]

Dakota share my b-day!! feb 23rd!! She is very much a Pisces, an mature artistic soul. Her positivity shines through.

[@singitloud555]

geez she grew up fast! she is beautiful. she is so adorable. i love her! in her previous ellen episodes, she was so young. wow!

[@jaime9130]

Ellen was in awe - how can someone so young, beautiful and so talented!

[@karleigh1995]

dakota fanning is SO talented i wish i could act the way she can!!!

[@OanyThePony]

i love how her and her sister have the same infectious laugh xD they're both so incredibly talented aswell!

[@LoveMoCannon]

Wow, it's so crazy how old she's getting! but wow, she is such an amazing young actress!

[@CANDYCANDYY]

as she grows up, she speaks so gently

[@mc1988klmn]

Not just she's taller,her voice is also different. What an improvement.

[@suhmura85]

So heart-warmin to see that there are healthy smart girls like her. She has amazing talent :)

[@endimango]

aw she looks so tall!

[@jodstar1995]

shes my fav actor

[@betheniek5]

omg i know i am sooo excited. she is gonna do great!!

[@sunshiney99]

when you see her interviews with ellen when she's younger, she's absolutely adorable, but it's so nice to see her grow up and return to the show more mature and with a more poised way of conversing with the host :)

[@applefreak66]

She is so grown up..I havent seen her for such a long time

[@hyperballad5]

Ellen is such a good instructor! She is so calm and funny!

[@davinseliis7697]

But that is why Lindsay turned out like that, because she DIDN'T have a loving and supporting family, like Dakota. You shouldn't judge. You don't know what goes on in Lindsay's life behind closed doors that makes her do stuff like that. smh people just judge and never really think about the reasons behind things.

[@anastasiagirl1342]

I want to see them on Ellen again!

[@DeborahWee95]

she's one of the best actresses I've seen

[@tarynproductions]

shes grown up soo much

[@Wordless06]

I love Dakota, she's amazing.

[@S0ulm4t3]

omg, i read the book last year. i never thought it was gonna be a movie ! that's so great i loved the book.

[@xtaffy]

I just watched her other appearance on Ellen when she was excited about getting her retainer, aha. she's so grown up now. I really like her outfit. simple, yet cute.

[@rodriguez140]

[@1freckleface2]

[@trishmnz]

[@abbyperry1324]

[@S0ulm4t3]

it's also called "The Secret Life Of Bees" by Sue Monk Kidd.

[@craeli]

[@daniqt98]

i've watched all her videos on Ellen, each time she gets more mature and less hyper. she such a great role model, i grew up with watching her in Charlotte's Web and Uptown Girl! And now she's in the Volturi in New Moon and Eclipse!

[@xMcFlyxBlinkx]

I can't believe she's in New Moon and Eclipse now :D

[@boldymaniac]

for a teenager she doesn't say "like" a lot.. GOOD JOB DAKOTA!!

[@bilong92]

It all depends on the area you go to school, I was twelve in grade 8...and now I'm 15/16 in grade 11.

[@Manny_News_Blogs_Tutorials]

Wow, nice set on Ellen! Look at that, a small car driving through the set, that's spacious!

[@xosuunshinexo]

I LOVE DAKOTA FANNING

[@karenbee1996]

OH MY GOD i miss the little dakota. and she's so pretty and so damn tall.

[@dbanjeezeez]

"Have you ever driven one of these before?" "Um, not - nothing - no. No." Looll! So sweet :)

[@Sammy652]

she never skipped a grade, she started reading when she was 2 and her parents put her in first grade when she was 4. she just started school young.

[@ddhluver10]

secret life of bess is soooooooo gooooooood i cried in it

[@00bec]

She said on The Tonight Show that she skipped a grade and is younger than all her friends in her grade.

[@wrooney97]

[@Ghanimah2008]

[@arissa0122]

shes looks so old! its so cute watching her grow up..

[@Elsa727]

LOVE YOU DAKOTA!

[@kcgirlgeek]

Dakota REALLY reminds me of Goldie Hawn when she was young. Such a talented young lady too.

[@Godzillaforever1954]

Dakota Fanning is so beautiful it makes your head spin.

[@laglow19]

that depends on the day and year in which she was born that varies for example when i was in 10 grade i was 14 like her... and she'll be a senior with 16years old.. so...shes gonna graduated from high school with 17 year old like me i graduated from high school with 17...

[@mfzambrano]

[@amymayadi]

[@gechoye]

[@havenshilohcruz]

i love you dakota

[@jollywallyholly]

I guess it depends, I was 14 when I went into 10th grade and turned 15 a few months later...I think it depends on when your birthday is like when you started kindergarten and what the ages are for the country or state

[@fabianalopez7257]

Dakota it's absolutely AWESOME!! lover her

[@RaniVampyress]

I didn't know it was her in that movie. When they said it was her I couldn't believe it! I still pictured her as the kid that was always screaming in that movie with Tom Cruise lol

[@Redwol12]

saw that movie she was really good in coraline

[@spacealien888]

i can't believe she's my age~! how can she be so pretty?????

[@rapley72]

in about 3 years, i will feel absolutely comfortable saying that Dakota is Gorgeous and i will be in love with her.

[@vakita10p]

i really love ellen's show !!

[@GhostGirlCam]

Holy crap Im a month older the Dakota I never knew that!

[@CherryFrog321]

She started kindergarten a year early, so that's why she's a grade ahead.

[@RaqeTube]

SHE IS A LIFE TIME LOVE ♥

[@titanx9]

@silencianus She's known Dakota since she was little. Dakota played an 8 year old Ellen once... She's just looking at her like "wow, you are so grown up now."

[@Sepia1989]

Were that Alicia Keys and Jenifer Hudson in the movie's scence ?
