Why You Never Hear About Dakota Fanning Anymore

[@23imansaray]

The reason you don't hear from Dakota Fanning is because she is pretty much being as normal as she possibly can in Hollywood. She is also not taking nude selfies and getting drunk or high or any other crazy antics that gets everyone's attention for all the wrong reasons. I say, good for her.

[@W2MyLife]

exactly

[@poluxtroy2381]

that's correct...& she'd also smart, she'll do well

[@kamdemcarole2300]

i agree. she seems a calm person who just loves acting plus it fills her bank account so why not? I love the fact that she doesn't jealous her sister and is actually proud of her plus doesn't even try to compete.

[@KletoReese]

Exactly! +1

[@cfrench61995]

Thank god! She's intelligent, talented, and sensible

[@pandamonika]

What a misleading title! Ugh, this should be called 'What is Dakota Fanning up to now?'

[@JoMaisBure10]

what did you expect? All of Nicki Swift's titles are click bait

[@pandamonika]

***** I don't know about you but I don't pay for KZbin. ;) Doesn't mean I can't complain in here...

[@brentpreid]

Completely agree. Just because you like to act for your career, you have to have your entire life scrutinized? I am interested in anybody's life. I don't want to censor at all...despise censorship...and may all be free to post any KZbin vid that sells, but this is disrespectful as a title and a subject, and it makes me not subscribe, so ya know. Who the hell am I? Nobody.

[@francoisbergeron5694]

you'r right another misleading video

[@duartecorreia8602]

+PandaMonika complain that she's not a bitch like almost every girl? xD

[@lovelydiva06]

Dakota just seems like a low profile celeb whose not looking for attention all the time to stay relevant, she's just living her life it seems, while doing more indie/independent films instead of mainstream movies, she seems like a lovely down to earth person despite her fame

[@quqbalam5089]

Many if not most of the times, it does. There are far too many examples (George Clooney, Adam Sandler, Mel Gibson, just to name the ones that come to my mind) that prove this.

[@Zenkawa93]

[@myone982]

[@thekweewee]

This obsession with needing to be on social media is becoming toxic

[@warmandscratchy]

I agree but she's an actress and social media is a way to promote yourself, for free.

[@warmandscratchy]

When celebrities lose their fame they want it back - then when they have it they don't want it. Acting is about networking yourself to get more gigs, that unfortunately holds true for many careers but I understand where you're coming from.

[@thekweewee]

Chelsea Baker Yeah, what I meant was, in any job, there are people that want to rise to the top, be important, known and adored by masses and earn a ton of money. And others that value not being in the spotlight, keeping their personal lives personal, not having to discuss every aspect of their lives with the public. Some people value fame and fortune, others value satisfaction from their work and living a comfortable, private life. Society seems to put pressure on Hollywood actors to all be the first catagory of personality - fame and fortune - and we expect it to be the norm. The problem is we judge and put value on people for all the wrong reasons

[@thekweewee]

winterwolf211 Thing is, I remember Dakota Fanning but really don't care for her sister (or even remembered that shitty actress who played Aurora that one time). I will admit, I didnt even know she WAS her sister until this vid The reason I remember Dakota? She was a bloody fantastic child actress. The reason I don't remember her sister (or even her real name) ? I don't know because she's a cardboard cut out of every Hollywood actress ever Dakota doesn't need social media. Her sister obviously does, but to what end? I thought she was bland and boring as Aurora to the point I will pass on anything else she stars in

[@warmandscratchy]

There is nothing wrong with being an actor and staying out of the spotlight but that's not what's happening in this situation - She is purposefully using a free marketing platform to promote herself, that's literally just what it is.. In return she makes more money because of the exposure, gossip, and discussions - like we're having about her now (: oh the irony.. I didn't give an opinion on it but you clearly just needed to vent so, ok have a nice night!

[@isirlaughsalot2675]

A child actor that did not go to shit. Well done Dakota, well done.

[@illseeyouinmarslo9561]

[@aluktamut9801]

True

[@homespunhomefragrance5659]

Yes, I’m very proud of her. She’s 7 months older than I am and I’ve been a fan of her since she and I were 11-12. Just because you don’t hear about her as much as the Kardashians doesn’t mean she’s a has-been. In fact, she’s more successful than some other child stars. She hasn’t done anything harmful to herself like Lindsay Lohan, Miley Cyrus. She’s doing wonderfully and living a very positive life for a 26-year old. Keep it up Dakota! ❤️❤️

[@heyliz2319]

Dakota is one of the classiest and talented women in the media. I'd take her over any of the kardasions any day.

[@Manny444a]

You're lesbian?

[@enriqueruiz5492]

My sister is obsessed with Twilight and it's SO ANNOYING

[@shinakumaforu5107]

+Shin Akumaforu I hate twilight so I would've never known

[@whatreallymatters571]

+--Hog-Oween Haunts-- How do you hat a movie you have never seen?

[@alanamcmillian5810]

Dakota Fanning has always been my favorite child star actress. Watching her movies nowadays brings me to tears because I technically grew up with her. She's only a year older than I am to be exact It's amazing that I see how far she has came from her child stardom. She's the perfect example of how child stars should be when they grow up, not drinking, not doing drugs, not doing nude pictures for publicity, and she has an old spirit, a wonderful person she has always been! I hope to meet her someday.

[@lindseyreese287]

I like Dakota a lot more than Elle man, I don't know why but I can't handle Elle.

[@ohkami3502]

Same here :/ her scenes in maleficent made me cringe so bad lol

[@chrispassmore7372]

DARKROSE9090 Wow you read a lot into a joking comment. It's pretty obvious you're just weirdly sexist, seeing as how your reaction is to victimize yourself and call her a bitch.

[@mycolicacid6871]

@Chris Passmore Why are you standing up for women right now when the slight in the video was directed against men? Why do you make it about women? nonstop, everywhere, think of the poor womenz!!

M-hm. Same. Celeb tosh.

[@funkyweezy8071]

Me too. Shame, shame :(

[@darksadako3963]

why???

[@hug-a-bull5717]

I can't believe I was ever a fan of the twilight saga...

[@bwall49]

dakota is a freaking genius actress!...i hope she graces the big screen for decades to come!

[@Keyscool]

She's only 22- She has ample time to make a "comeback". Even if she never does- she accomplished more at the age of 8 than most adults do in their lifetimes.

[@superlex611]

she will have a oscar nomination soon

[@MADPunkyHeartLESS]

She and I are the same age, and here I am eating chicken nuggets while she is starring in movies.

[@Keyscool]

MADPunkyHeartLESS I'm a few years older and I'm sitting on my ass eating Zebra cakes- I'm far sadder lol

[@MADPunkyHeartLESS]

Keyscool Hahaha, I completely understand.

[@Keyser666]

So in other words, she's sensible and has retained some measure of normality in her life.

[@JaguarStar999]

Her sister might have had a popular role, but Dakota is an amazing actress (much better than the overrated Jennifer Lawrence, for example) and has shared the screen with legends already. If she plays her cards correctly, she can expect a Jodie Foster career type.

[@methylphosphatePOET]

"overrated Jennifer Lawrence?!!" Are you freakin' kidding me? Just exposed yourself for not having watched anything in your life besides Hunger Games, Twilight, and some other such Disney garbage... Harry Potter maybe.

[@DreamPrincess41195]

+methylphosphatePOET I love JLaw too. But she is overrated tbh.

[@methylphosphatePOET]

Melondy Hopkins Again, you've clearly only seen the kid-targeted (Hunger Games, X-Men) movies she's been in, where she's forced to do some really bad obvious style of acting so kids can understand what's going on in the scene. You've clearly never seen "Winter's Bone", "Silver Linings Playbook", "American Hustle" or "Joy", all movies that The Academy knows her for. People like you and this Chinita Lozano clearly only watch the huge summer blockbuster movies meant (no offense) for the dumbest people in the world. So you've gotten the most inaccurate impression of her. Not your fault, by the way. Most people don't watch Art House movies anyway.

[@DreamPrincess41195]

methylphosphatePOET lmao only seen one Hunger Games and it was trash, don't watch Disney's horrible play on On Marvel. I've seen all her movies and she's really good. I just thinks she's overratted. You can sit here and explain your reasons as to why she's not but we both know how these tangents ends. You think I'm wrong and irdc.😊😊

[@methylphosphatePOET]

You might make the argument that she's overrated after seeing, all of her movies, and it would be well within your rights. But if you're agreeing with this girl Kaylasa JaguarStar (my apologies to Chinita Lozano) who say's that Dakota Fanning is somehow better, you just make yourself look bad.

[@Cisco_24]

She looks so much like Amanda Seyfried

[@jaysgamez4008]

right

[@jaylynn444]

OMG, I never realized that, but WOW, she really does! Both are stunning!

[@Deathmam]

EYE thought the same.....

[@tsuss2205]

Yeah, kind of. But Amanda is prettier in my opinion.

[@champagnesupernova4081]

Yes...Amanda is prettier.

[@DandisDen]

I dunno how Elle upstood Dakota with her 'disney princess' role. Elle's acting was as flat as Kristin Stewart's in Twilight. Dakota has way more talent than her sister.

[@DjJokerr]

I like Elle in super 8.

[@DandisDen]

DjJokerr haven't seen super 8, actually i don't think i heard of it. Didn't know she was in it.

[@mwolf9868]

Yeah that face tho... THAT FACE MY GOD!!

[@mwolf9868]

Yeah... no

[@spongebobz3218]

[@kopaskutq]

She rules, sorry. I find her sister irrelevant. Dakota is such an amazing actress.

[@annieyang-shaffer55]

[@kopaskutq]

[@Charizarzar]

Same and I didn't think she was that great in Malificient.

[@neiladlington950]

That movie did little for her but that is ok because that was a BIG movie so it there is that. But her acting is outstanding in almost anything she has done. But she wasn't asked to do much in Mal.

[@electric6131]

true

[@jupiter2598]

I didn't even know they were related

[@DaniellaCartwright]

Dakota and Elle? How come?

[@imbored4468]

[@buttcheeksguy]

they literally look alike, how can you not not?

[@laddibugg]

Heh. Never thought about it myself.

[@TheJulienne21]

Same! They are so not look alike. Dakota have this beautiful exotic feature and Elle have that "Girl Next Door" pretty vibe.

[@mlitt1996]

Elle does not overshadow Dakota! Dakota has so many more movies, fashion mags, etc under her belt and people recognize Dakota before they recognize Elle. Maleficent did horribly in theaters...

[@courtneyw.9338]

That's because Elle can't act.

[@epicloving3001]

I didn't even know Ellen was related to her...I love Dakota!

[@epicloving3001]

+Epic Loving Elle, sorry auto correct

[@deplemon010]

[@gamergirl5143]

Actually I didn't know who Dakota was I only knew Elle. But I agree maleficent wasn't the best

[@djguapo]

Misleading title. She's taking care of things for herself as a regular person would. It's not like she's been blacklisted.

[@kizzy3563]

I've always admired Dakota. She has always been very level headed, and obviously, incredibly talented.

[@huetuber1204]

Oh btw, Elle may have the looks but Dakota still has the talent.

[@JLDReactions]

I think Dakota is prettier. But you know, I feel bad for Elle. It must suck to be in the shadow of your older sister who became successful at a very young age. Fortunately, Elle's career finally took off. It would suck to be compared all the time.

[@huetuber1204]

Elle's not a very good actress, IMO. Her acting is not very believable and it feels forced.

[@champagnesupernova4081]

Elle is so much prettier...Dakota is weird looking if you ask me, something weird about her eyes. Elle has this little dolly face with button nose, green eyes and blonde hair...she looks like a porcelain doll.

[@stardustangel3528]

I find Dakota prettier but Elle as cuter

[@viharsarok]

@@champagnesupernova4081 Dakota is very pretty, too, but Elle is an otherworldly beauty. Only a handful of women in Hollywood can compete with her on looks.

[@omelette429]

Dakota should have as much recognition as Jennifer Lawrence in my opinion.

[@Elthenar]

Why? Dakota did some good work as a kid actor, what has she done as an adult? By comparions, Lawrence has done much more acclaimed work, has had lead roles in multiple blockbusters AND is routinely on the lists of most beautiful women.

[@JayBearr13]

+Elthenar IMO Jennifer is severely overrated. Her acting has nothing that impresses me. Its just her reading the script. Usually actors truly make you feel like they're the character they are playing. But that's just me.

[@Elthenar]

MeekCity I have no problems with you having your own opinion. All I said was that Lawrence has much more critical acclaim, 4 oscar noms and 1 win.

[@JayBearr13]

+Elthenar Yea that's true. She's definitely much more famous than Dakota. Sadly Dakotas been doing not so good movies and not getting recognition. I didn't even realize she made any movies in 2015

[@RubyDiamond2316]

Maybe Kota doesn’t want that recognition, she’s keeping to herself and leading a normal life, leave the poor girl alone!!!

[@missymani]

Dakota is very accomplished at a young age. Honestly she is one of the few people who can experience stardom and then decide to do many other things other than appear in cinema and magazines. I think that "outashined by her sister" is a beyond shallow comment. Dakota no longer has to prove herself as an actress and don't have to be in the spotlight to be important.

[@AsheDuran]

She worked a lot during her childhood, she wants to have fun. Its normal

[@johnbaldock6353]

in today's liberal world, men and women are considered 'Actors' so no one is discriminated against.

[@LPGD1994]

john Baldock agree. An "actor" is a person whose profession is acting. but if you were to talk about a certain actor, the right term is needed for the correct sex. You were talking about Dakota herself. She is an actress, the term meaning a female who is acts. you called her an "actor", not to be confused with the original definition of the word, that is also the term for a male who acts. i'm sure you know this, I just don't want a bunch of people attacking you for this. In today's liberal world, people love to bitch about the smallest things. :)

[@MajesticSkywhale]

where did you buy your fedora?

[@znyznyzny]

SO true

[@HpTwiMJfreak]

I kinda call bullshit on the whole Elle thing...yes Elle is a little more relevant now due to Maleficent, but that movie is already two years old and she hasn't done anything nearly as big since. Actually, both girls seem to do similar career moves: do a lot of indie/low budget films with the occasionally blockbuster inbetween (Elle: Super 8, Maleficent Dakota: the Twilight saga, War of the Worlds). If anything, Elle is going to have to fight off the title of 'Dakota's little sister" since Dakota still has way more well-known movies (and awards) than her. While I'm sure Elle can survive her sister's shadow, I don't think Dakota would ever have to struggle with being upstaged by Elle. Besides, Dakota is only 22 (which shocked me, as she always seems older) so she has plenty of time to live a normal private life before deciding if she wants to try to do more "relevant" movies. She's done so much with her career at such a young age that it's perfect fine that she takes a break from the public eye. In fact, she's proof that you can be successful and famous in Hollywood without turning into a nut job or resorting to cheap tricks to keep your name in the media. Hell, I'm pretty sure everyone who clicked this video knew exactly who Dakota was because of her FILMS, not because of her doing anything scandalous or crazy. I'm sure she and her sister will have long and excellent careers.

[@danasullivan944]

Lmaooooo she was NOT upstaged by Elle, love her but Elle cannot act nearly as good as Dakota can.

I agree ...Dakota has been in incredibly complex and difficult to act movies... Elle is a fashionista but she is never even near the actress that Dakota is....besides..dakota is super freakin young :D she could do a break for 10 years

[@Lili_ia]

Elle isn't a better actress than Dakota but she is prettier, that's enough in Hollywood to upstage her sister.

[@wackity.7879]

prettier by who's account? Your own?

[@danasullivan944]

+Ainoah I think they're both beautiful, I'm not judging on looks. As someone who's been in theatre her whole life it's just I always analyze movies and stuff and Elle just isn't really cut out for acting it seems. Dakota has had so much more meaningful and iconic roles, Elle played Aurora and a girl in a zoo movie and suddenly everyone's thinking she's the "new" Dakota? Nah.

[@Lili_ia]

+Izzy Not mine, Hollywood.

[@Sourcandy333]

all in all dakota is living an easy going life because she's not in the public eye.

[@lucyii]

I abolsolutely ADORE Dakota.

[@McDoodle44]

Why (in a few years) you never hear about this channel anymore....

[@azzamatic4190]

[@xanpq8374]

Dakota Fanning is one of those VERY rare examples of a child-star who grew into a SUCCESSFUL, well-rounded young adult. She appears to be healthy and happy, keeping her career going while gracefully maintaining her clearly-distinctive private life and avoiding the tabloid bullshit. She looks REALLY stunning today, which is not surprising - as a little kid she was huggably adorable, so, provided that adorableness remains healthy and well-taken care of as she gets older, "childhood adorable" will very rapidly metamorph into "early-20s hotness" in no time at all. And that's the key element there, I think - HEALTHY. And no, not that raw-vegan nonsense those whackadoo cultists followers call "meal-worthy", I mean just generally balancing out EVERYTHING in one's life to a degree that works for that person. Clearly, in Dakota's case, the balance she struck was in more than likely following her parents' example of NEVER mixing your public career with your personal life, and the very fact that we don't HEAR about her personal life is a perfect testament to how effective that can really be if managed effectively :) Well, KUDOS TO HER, I say! That's something to be TRULY proud of, especially at her age compounded with her level of fame - in a world filled with people like Macaulay Culkin, that kid who played Young John Connor in Terminator 2, Hannah Montana, Paris freaking HILTON in all HER braindead, chloroform-and-muriatic acid soaked neuron-induced antics, lindsay lohan, golly gee, who am I forgetting... oh yeah, enough examples to make former-child-star-cringe-photo calendars for DECADES to come (that sounds like it should be an It's Always Sunny plot...anybody? :P). But NOT Dakota - she's managed to maintain her dignity all throughout, and that's something to be respected, given where she started. And also, last but certainly not least, her acting chops have REALLY improved over the last decade or so since War of the Worlds (which was 90% of her shrieking, but we'll chock that up to the writing and direction, NOT Dakota, since she'd already shown her abilities to be far more capable than they were giving her any credit for at the time...)

[@sageleyendas7632]

My opinion, Dakota, is more attractive.

[@MichaelBatmanKeaton]

man listen all dakota has to say is "ive worked with tom cruise and denzel washington just to name a few...and uhhh who have u worked with again smh exactly do ur googles about me peep my resume!!!."lol

[@AbsintheColour]

Best child actress ive ever seen. As a matter of fact, id say she may be up there with the most talented movie actors that are in the spotlight currently.

[@neiladlington950]

Both Elle and Dakota are good actresses but I believe they are like the Bridges brothers in that Dakota will become like Beau Bridges; a working, good actor but not on the level with his brother Jeff. I have watched Elle and Dakota from the time they were both very young and both of them have always been very impressive. Those here dismissing Elle should revisit her roles on television and movies like 2012's Ginger and Rosa and Leaning Towards Solace, 2015's About Ray and many others as well. She has the same range as Dakota but is more luminous. I think Dakota's career is going to be as a character actor where as Elle will be asked to carry the movies she is in; it won't be long before either of them are nominated for awards but it will probably be on the order of Dakota for "Best Supporting Actress" and Elle for "Lead Performance by an Actress).

[@zilchnilton]

Dakota as Jane was one of the best characters in Twilight

[@elaulii4991]

SO PROUDA U BOO- uptown girl, that episode on friends, cat in the hat- she was actually part of my childhood... And I'm younger than her :') you go, Fanning!! 💕

[@wardec13]

I love Dakota Fanning no matter what. She's a very beautiful and smart young lady and she is not like the other former child stars who turned out as train wrecks in their adult lives. She is a well- adjusted kid and that makes her a very likable person.

[@peacebewithu9684]

Check IMDB she has 4 movies coming out this year.. Sounds like she's busy to me

[@_devil__0nline67]

Holy Shit

[@pepper341]

😮 goodness. she must be pretty busy

[@theDarkElfX]

Elle who? Going to take more than this video to make me believe she was ever upstaged by her sister! =D Oh and I'm happy I don't hear about her anymore- means she's keeping clean and doing good since the media only cares when they're screwing up.

[@MKMster]

True xD I'm glad she's mature and not crazy

[@deandreaallen418]

Exactly

I'd say may be she thanks God fans forget she was in Twilight.

[@gisawslonim9716]

Well, you do hear about her and see her in the wonderful tv series "The Alienist" which has taken everyone by storm as the best series ever and her role was fantastic

[@stefenosthepom2649]

yes a great show cant wait for 2nd series...

[@mg2294]

She rocked in The Runaways.. Deserved an Academy Award for sure!

[@e.erin.]

I just watched “Man on Fire” and wondered, where is she these days? Landed here. What a talent, she is. Her acting as a child was just incredible. Love that she seems happy and to be doing well. Classy, young woman.

[@jdcool038]

If she hates her wardrobe so much and admires her sisters why doesn't she make her sister her stylist then it doesn't make any sense

[@akchills]

they actually have the same stylist, the actual quote is her talking about her sister has a more adventurous style than Dakota, that's why she's calling her own closet boring not about how she wants to dress like her sister or anything

[@AlainBruno]

Child stars fade out fast.

[@isabel-hq5qu]

I wonder why so bc you would think they have more fame as they grow up

[@miguellet6034]

Justin Biber didn't fade out

[@AlainBruno]

gelu4in :))

[@djhannas]

Natalie Portman did not!

[@kevinwebster7868]

Actually he has quit. Even his publicist said he had stopped producing anything. At least for awhile. Can't say I blame the guy though. Not a fan of his but at least he had some talent when compared to the mass produced crap they spew out today.

[@robxsiq7744]

I want Spielberg's Taken series continued with her return. that would make me beyond happy. cutest halfbreed alien ever, not to mention one hell of a loose end to tie up.

[@retnaningratri5861]

I think she is a great actress. Since she'd never back to have normal childhood, so she deserves to have a normal life right now. She loves acting. I believe she will keep her claws sharp.

[@Charizarzar]

I think the Fanning sisters are a little overrated but Dakota is still a much better actress than Elle.

[@pvtrichter88]

why do we never hear of her other sister NORTH DAKOTA FANNING !!?

[@viharsarok]

@@pvtrichter88 I heard she's living with North Dakota Johnson.

[@pvtrichter88]

@@viharsarok I see you're riffing on my joke there ; i need to work on some new material while i'm up now Enjoy and be safe mate! 🤘

[@bluesjazznotes9436]

She's just a classy lady who made very wise choices when it comes to movies "apart from twilight" and she likes to keep a low profile, respect.

[@turbo8628]

While I can't stand Twilight, I wouldn't say it was an unwise decision to be part of a multi-million pound series of films which (for some strange reason) had a massive impact on an entire generation of teenagers. Thankfully, I dodged that bullet as I am now an old man - We had American Pie :D

[@bluesjazznotes9436]

+Turbo 86 before I watched this video I didn't even know she was in that movie, so I see where you're coming from 😀

[@Ultradude604]

When you're a young child actor and talented, you'd get noticed and stand out. When you're an adult, and just average looking and in a much larger field of talented and beautiful actresses, and you're just average beauty-wise. You're not gonna stand out. Unless you're in comedic acting.

[@MajesticSkywhale]

average looking?? she's a 10 lol

[@nthedeepblue3521]

Dakota fanning is literally one of the best actresses I have ever watched. She's a bit ahead of her time... As was Natalie Portman,, river Phoenix,, James franco,, angelina Jolie,, Casey Affleck,, .. Seriously she seems like she is not like a Kardashian.. Thankfully. :) my daughter who is a year older with the same name told me that she is so thankful that she watched Dakota fanning movies before she saw a Dakota Johnson movie. 😂... But honestly fanning is amazing and versatile.. She's done so many different types of roles.. She rocks

[@axcvilla]

Even though Elle is the "IT" girl. I still think that Dakota Fanning is the true ACT-OR (not that I like to pit the two sisters against each other - there are enough people doing that). But Dakota is much more gritty and compelling as an actor as shown in the wide range of roles she has played. I do think though that she ought to choose her roles well. (Or maybe she was just having fun).

[@axcvilla]

I agree. She was quite good there.

[@idkatthispoint4657]

+Stromae l Flume l Pogo that's the role that made me like Elle!

[@sfletch3042]

She's a talented actress and an intelligent beautiful young woman keeping a low profile. A good soul. Major props to her!

[@ivannaosullivan5423]

I much rather Dakota Fanning as opposed to her sister in every way but especially as an actress.

[@fanofgodjimindiva2497]

The Fanning sisters are the prettiest Hollywood ladies by far. They look like dolls

[@TKCmoto]

Twilight is how i knew about Dakota fanning

[@kennyspillman9241]

sorry

[@TKCmoto]

+Kenny Spillman ?

[@kennyspillman9241]

Asia Hale she has done much better work than that shit

[@TKCmoto]

+Kenny Spillman Oh well I don't think I have seen any other of her movies than twilight

[@JuanGarcia-pn2gm]

I hope she finishes her studies soon and gives us a mega blockbuster or action packed movie because ive missed her in the limelight. Shes been doing indies because of her class schedule.

[@kermitthefrog614]

So basically the answer to the title of this video is she has a bf?

[@kermitthefrog614]

yeah okay

[@mirandacoopersnubnubs1295]

i wish people in the comments would stop comparing elle and dakota, they're both amazing

[@jl9554]

It's good she didn't end up going downhill.

[@capricon8195]

Just wait for next 5 years Dakota is going to get an oscar award nomination or even she can win an oscar award just mark my words!!!

[@jaywar69]

I really like this girl. Best to her...

[@somenextdouche]

im not a fan but what i get from the video, shes a good big sister. love the humility.

[@angeleyeszarai]

Runaways is one of the best movies I've ever seen. If you didn't know Dakota Fanning was an adult yet..... you WILL after watching that movie. Amazing actress.
