She is lit from within. So rare.

[@piccalillipit9211]

I know what you mean. I had a friend in the Uk - Carla. She would walk into the room and your life was instantly better for being in her radiating presence.

[@brxsncz]

elle fanning as catherine is something that's personal to me, she played her too iconicly. desperately waiting for season 3!

[@piccalillipit9211]

more of it is true than you might think... The "no beards" was a real thing, the husband digging the graves for the mother and child when she is giving birth... Im studying Russian history at the moment and every 5 minutes Im like OH WOW that was true...

[@anibodhi11.11]

it is such an unscathing look at the hypocricy and clash of cultures (origin and political wise)

[@bondseanbond5190]

Elle fanning still reminds me of Ariel. Lulu Plummer played by Morgan York is so Cute and she’s a good Buddy to Aurora like Flounder to Ariel.

[@Ivilinpl]

Yes!!! The Great is incredible!

[@Glimmmerra]

She is absolutely hilarious and gorgeous in The Great, one of the funniest shows out there... if you love raunchy comedy, it has amazing writing and an excellent cast. Love that show SO much!!!

[@luvyou-baby]

her show “the great” is very amusing & actually funny. i highly recommend watching it. if you like f@#’up comedy this is it

[@missjane7200]

Elle has very good “dork” energy. The Great is a really entertaining show.

[@piccalillipit9211]

Her show *THE GREAT* is absolutely brilliant - totally recommend it to anyone with a sense of humour - more of it is true than you might think...

[@barbiquearea]

Fun fact. In a W Magazine interview a year ago, Elle was asked which actor she thought could play her. She said she could see Lucas Hedges and Timothee Chalamet playing her, but especially Timmy.

[@sebastianmunozochoa1485]

There's even a Danish male actor who looks a lot like her.

[@dee_dee_place]

The Fanning Women are excellent actresses. I have watched their careers from the beginning & am very happy to see their success. They also have become lovely Women, both inside & out. Brava, Ladies!

[@mariepanimdim4303]

I binged watch "The Great" and it's so fun and weird and the production design, costumes everything is very entertaining. Beware you will get hooked and cry when it ends. Waiting for season #3 like a kid for Santa!

[@BeagleFeatures]

Elle Fanning as Grace Kelly would be an Oscar-winning performance

[@benr3799]

I might have to get Hulu now just to watch this, what a genuine human being that’s a rarity #goals

[@hurtecho]

She is just exquisite!

[@richardjarrell3585]

Kidman played Kelly in GRACE OF MONACO (2014).

[@TACALACA]

Kyle MacLachlan needs to do a "Meanwhile" segment! Make it happen Stephen! 😀

[@laalaa99stl]

Kyle MacLachlan 100%. It's not even a question. When he was on the show, he could have traded places with Stephen, and we wouldn't have been able to tell. He's a cinch to play Stephen on screen!

[@sajid-marth4380]

Her smile has a smile that can heal the wounds 😊

[@NewMessage]

I'd pay good money to see Kyle get through a Meanwhile preamble in character.

[@arod700]

funny, talented and gorgeous!

[@kasondaleigh]

I like her, she is very genuine and so beautiful!

[@djmazzafakka]

what a bright light

[@cpjuliansp]

Absolutely adorable girl!

[@RR-qf4zo]

I LOVE HER ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@P5clach]

Work . Work . Love . Peace . Joy

[@MsMarksus]

A good friend of mine and a children's writer from Ukraine accidentally bought a website that belonged to a film starring Elle Fanning. But there is absolutely no understanding of who from the digital and marketing team can be contacted about this.

[@EmpyreanLightASMR]

Um, I was about to scroll down to the comments to say she looks exactly like an actress right out of the 40s silver screen age, one of my favorites and then as I'm doing so, she says "Grace Kelly". So happy haha

[@bowi1332]

We shouldn't be worried about the faces we make. 😅 She's right!

[@laestrella9727]

The Great is the original Bridgerton and is outstanding. Unique and deserves to become a classic.

[@Battmatt22]

She looks like a real life doll

[@puurrrr]

I love her look in this interview. Looks very mature

[@jericmarcos901]

My favorite

[@jaredvlogs8891]

I saw her in "rainy day in new york" and was personally very unimpressed with her acting, but in "the great" she is amazing

[@WaitingtoHit]

I think she's been one of the best young actresses around for a while now. She's done a bunch of excellent work in dark indie films. Actually, I think this is the first time I've heard anyone make a negative comment about her acting. A lot of the films she chooses to do are unconventional and challenging, so they can provoke a range of reactions from critics, but the reactions to her contributions have routinely been positive.

[@kennethschwartz9351]

The woodman lusts after the latest hot actresses...can almost predict who is next. He doesn't put himself in the lead anymore--so no more gross make out scenes. I think that Larry David substituted for him as Evan Rachel Wood's love interest---disturbing. The Woodinator can at least watch the daily rushes and can "get off" that way. I'm totally shocked that he hasn't used Halle Steinfeld yet? Bobbie Millie Brown is getting hotter by the day...so she might be on the woodchuck's list. Creepy woodperson!

[@BigD4446]

She 24, she could be a model So beautiful, all so natural

[@josefshopovich7584]

She's fucking cute. I love her!

[@sicfxmusic]

Me too

[@maysawilson423]

Elle was great in The Great!

[@vinny142]

In the thumbnail to this video the timestamp overlaps the "nning" part of "Fanning" so it said "Elle Fanni" and I giggled. Yes I am 13 years old.

[@littleone0120]

The fact that he answered Kyle McLachlan without any hesitation or skipping a beat is 😂😂

[@stormboss57]

I totally love Elle in The Great! I think she could be bigger that Kate Hudson ever was. Great actress!

[@missjane7200]

I like her in The Great but come on now....Kate Hudson was raised by 2 Hollywood legends, she’s got that “cool” movie star vibe in her veins, Elle is cute but Kate’s charisma is why she was in every Rom-Com, her success won’t be topped by any of the current generation actresses.

[@Posturtle]

She's slightly less giggly in this interview. Elle is always super cute either way.

[@lexibrowning7447]

I think this was her first time meeting Colbert.

[@melektwelve6451]

Kyle! Absolutely! He was sooo good on Porrlandia! He's a perfect Stephen doppelganger.

[@mikechicago6200]

Man shes gorgeous and the hair and legs....she is such an icon

[@BartvG88]

Haha it almost sounds like you’re a huge fan of leg hair!

[@shockwave1111]

can't believe she is 23...

[@pierceaero3005]

Grace Kelly? Makes sense.

[@cayxine]

🥺🥺🥺🥺😍😍

[@Salenceable]

She did "A rainy day in New York" before. That was a comedy, I guess...

[@lydiamcsparron]

She has the same laugh as dakota

[@puurrrr]

Easy. Angelina's youngest daughter can play her. And yesss please someone cast her as grace kelly 😩 i can see the similarities

[@tristanarcelona]

Hey 🎃🎃

[@MountainLWolf]

Elle would be great company. Very playful and funny.

[@paulpvhl1930]

C'mon. They'll never do a true depiction of Nicole Kidman's life, especially early on.

[@Elitesolider1023]

Elle is just as beautiful as Dakota❤

[@jacksmiththeboss]

She's so beautiful. What ever happened to her sister.

[@regenjo]

She's quite pale for someone from Georgia

[@orawal]

this was very uninteresting

[@sicfxmusic]

just like your life

[@flowerheyosh4152]

why?

[@orawal]

@@flowerheyosh4152 maybe the content. im a huge fan of colbert and follow his videos religiously but this one just felt very vacant and sparse
