[@avarae4939]

Elle Fanning is absolutely adorable! But... the character she plays on Criminal Minds is Tracy not Nancy hahahahahaha she's so cute

[@ILoveGreysonChance97]

That moment when Elle who was on Criminal Minds just picked a random name cause she forgot her Criminal Minds character's name LOL :)

[@dirkdiabolus]

She's like the rebirth of happiness without being silly! And thank god Nancy survived!

[@Pos608]

She is ridiculously gorgeous, it just makes me sick how stunning she is. Agh

[@zenpanda25]

She's like a radiant angel of genuine epic positive energy !

[@mayacarey4192]

She talks so much like Dakota!

[@hoppy5]

Off the charts adorability....

[@andrewhuesca7137]

I love her youthfullness yet in real world she's sophisticated

[@KirstenLeigh09]

I can't get over how amazing these interviews are.

[@caramelcoffees]

lol she's 13 but her voice is deeper than Dakota who's older than her.

[@tiffylulu17]

She so mature, but so her age as well. She so cute, still getting teased for silly things like "liking" ...SO FRIGGEN ADORABLE

[@elipagano4928]

This girl is so nice!

[@vlanjos4807]

She sounds just like Dakota and acts like Dakota. Its like thier twins bit their not.

[@shaboatrad4066]

Aw so sweet

[@ChaserOfMornings]

Dakota and Elle have the exact same voice. Hearing them speak it's no difference at all!!!!

[@birdinacan]

She sounds just like Dakota.

[@CosmicUndeadElf]

She makes me feel happy about life.

[@yodeebs]

PARENTS, YOU ARE DOING IT RIGHT.

[@cloudilibrary]

omg she is soo giggly! lol

[@alanaterrel9914]

she is always so bubbly

[@JoanaJeong]

Her voice itself is so.... energetic. That makes me happy. :D

[@coolida23511]

I actually like the messiness of her hair.

[@sarabalagueralandi5320]

I love this interviews so much!

[@sahsabeats]

POV: Least viewed video

[@silvit89]

LOVE HER! shes adorable

[@IXxXMateosXxXI]

Hey, it's just my opinion, and the opinion of thousands of people, just check Metacritic, Rotten Tomatoes, IMDB, etc. Even if i give you that movie, she has a lot of bad movies too, and why are those movies are bad? Because they have bad acting, bad writing and bad directing. Dakota is a mediocre actress, i mean just compare her to Meryl Streep, Julianne Moore, Jodie Foster, Cate Blanchett, Natalie Portman etc. and you will see that Dakota is a bad actress or regular at best.

[@IXxXMateosXxXI]

Really? I´m gonna tell you the films she did since 2008 ( 5 years ago) Fragments - bad, the secret life of bees - bad, Push - incredibly bad, Twilight New Moon - awful, Twilight eclipse - awful as well, The runaways - not as bad as the others but still not a good movie, Twilight Breaking dawn part 1 and 2 - awful movies, and Now is good - regular movie, can you tell me here is her " incredible talent" in those films? Open your eyes, learn about movies, watch good movies man, you need it.

[@IXxXMateosXxXI]

Dakota is not really a good actress, she had a lot of kid roles which are really easy to do, just look at all those guys that were stars when they were childs and now they are nothing. Dakota has a long time without being in a good movie or making a good role. You can't compare her with good atresses or saying that he is more talented than Elle because Elle is just starting.

[@ImTheGirlOnFire]

they cut out the parts where she is asked a question and if she interrupts herself, or says um a lot they cut stuff like that out like seriously have you EVER seen a screen test before? plus, in the media world, it doesn't matter what your age is, they treat you all the same

[@Brooklyn20]

I have a feeling this is soo edited b/c she 13 and she seems like a VERY talkative 13 yr old, so she probably went on and on and on when asked a question and they most likely editied it so she stayed on point and it didnt get confusing for the viewer

[@jackispregnant]

This interview left off where the previous one ended.

[@phoebehegemony]

they're not editing what she's saying, Gz, they are just cuting the part that they ask, or say something to not show on the interview

[@alwayzvanessa05]

if drew berrymore were to have a movie where she needed someone to play a young drew, elle fanning would be 100% best fit

[@megustacantar310]

wow she sounds exactly like dakota hahaha and i can't believe she was only twelve in super 8! incredible

[@xxmira03]

Don't get me wrong..I love the fannings ..but Elle looks waaayyyy older than Dakota..!!! just sayin'

[@thegreenmachine90]

Another young ditz that has a career handed to her rather than working for it. Just what we need.

[@IXxXMateosXxXI]

She can't make a bad movie look good or regular like other really good actresses

[@ZeldaFoxEars]

@nameislo Same here, I feel the same way. I think she's taller than me, too.

[@elenabambi94]

teehee, her character's name on Criminal Minds was Tracy not Nancy, she's forgotten! ;)

[@valeriabk2383]

she won't be glad in a couple years when she gets recognized and followed everywhere..

[@jacke.6026]

Elle, where's your hairbrush? You look like Frizzy Lizzy.

[@freshjiive91]

I was pretty neutral about her until she mentioned Criminal Minds. Yep, she's cool.

[@Tam28ish]

She's a little more southern in her speech and mannerisms than Dakota. Pretty cute.

[@peetamell4rk]

omg THE CUTENESS. her passion for criminal minds was totally unexpected to me lmao

[@lanaaisya]

i'm sure this is edited, but still what she says sounded genuine and real.

[@lindapochinda]

not anymore... but she was 2 years ago when they filmed this.

[@jdmovieluver]

she and dakota have the SAME voice

[@omarmarmolejo8530]

Elle Fanning is too pretty 😍❤

[@crumblinglikepastrys]

she sounds so much like dakota..

[@AllAboutPurple]

SHE'S JUST SO EXCITED AND FUN AND APPRECIATIVE.....

[@laurelgardner14]

she looks so much like dakota with her hair like this

[@chocoholicxx97]

wasn't her name tracy belle in criminal minds? :)

[@shashakahlani]

OMG SHES JUST LIKE ME. ELLE, LETS BE BEST FRIENDS?

[@Dank951]

She is exactly like her sister DAKOTA!!! :)

[@Blueskiesrockyshores]

so Nancy lived.. she sounds so happy about that

[@laramenke]

nice to see that she can still be just a child

[@kaicyfards9765]

Elle is pretty, smart and talented. She can ice skate, do ballet and sing (as we can see in her movie The Nutcracker in 3D ). Elle is good at acting too. She has the cute smile and beautiful heart. Elle isnt just beauty but talent too... ( im a huge fan of her, i really admire her )

[@iiGerardoii]

can't believe she's 13

[@JuustLikeThat]

I remember that episode of Criminal Minds! I was watching it with a friend and was like.. oh my god.. I think.. Dude that's Elle Fanning! Then as the episode went on I got more and more excited about it and my friend was just like.. okay whatever? Haha. Sorry I have a keen celebrity spotting eye.

[@Emmamarie1994]

Wasn't her name Tracy in Criminal Minds? :)

[@helliop]

Ahh, this girl is just like me, in love with fashion and knows all the models' by name and I love Criminal Minds. She's very lucky though that she got to be in the show :)

[@campaign0fhate]

how is this forcing her to be older?....

[@fynn8m1t]

Okay. Yes, I LOVE CRIMINAL MINDS, TOO! But just to say... Elle, you played Tracy Belle. No Nancy :D

[@TheBlasian96]

is it just me or she really beautiful?!

[@GiannuzziSavelli]

She and her sister play a part always.

[@codeblack445]

dakota and elle look so much allike 0_0

[@THGForever1]

She is such a light to the world...I’m such a Elle Fanning fan. 💕

[@thermalviolet936]

LOL her name on CM was Tracey Bell! Not Nancy!! I love that show too hahahah so funny that she forgot but oh well. I love her.

[@teyoumusica]

she's smart

[@VivekKumar-rx3ss]

Yahi se dhar 26 ko. Toh. Yahi se bachaw karna hai.

[@IchiGoRiru]

She still has her cute babyface :-)

[@marroquina94]

She looks older than 13 yo !! o.O

[@AmazingGrace599624]

She does not look that young.....

[@KANT9989]

i love you elle

[@Woeismyhoe]

It's funny how she's taller than Dakota lol much taller XD

[@AllAboutPurple]

lmao the MONSTER IS RIGHT THERE

[@beccagrace17]

Lol i remember in Criminal Minds

[@Gigigirl01]

Elle is so talented and beautiful. I don't care about her age and stuff... I just love her. :)

[@IXxXMateosXxXI]

Ehm, it was Tracy not Nancy...

[@JuustLikeThat]

They're both beautiful in their own ways. Simply looks don't define all of what "beauty" is.

[@justanotherrowegirl]

she was 12 in super 8?!?!?!??!?

[@Songster93]

Her laugh is ssssssoooo cute:P

[@meredith669]

I love her sister: Dakota, she is amazing actress!. Elle also has the potential to acting :)

[@Mskarenjina]

I was more mature when I was 13. However, I love how excited she is about all those stuff :D

[@ILoveGreysonChance97]

I was the same way. When Elle and Dakota were little I was would get so confused who's who but now I can tell easily who's who.

[@ILoveGreysonChance97]

Elle says she played a little girl named Nancy but really it was Tracy Belle. I remember cause I watched that episode so many times.

[@SabrinaCrapCaptain]

she's gained so much weight.

[@callmeishmael4659]

so what's up with the huge edits? this vid is so choppy and sometimes you have no idea what Elle is referring to. I just don't get the editing

[@CuturelaTana]

She's so young,beautiful and talented. Just love her, wish her the best of good luck as an actress!

[@eversowonderful]

Awwh I love Elle so much! She is turning into sucha lovely young lady.

[@ILoveGreysonChance97]

OMG YES! Me and Elle both love Criminal Minds.
