Blonde Enigma: How Dakota and Elle Fanning Defied Hollywood's Dark Predictions

The Fanning Sisters Spill Tea: Unfiltered and Unapologetic

In a jaw-dropping October cover story for Vanity Fair, Dakota and Elle Fanning let their guard down and shared intimate details about their lives as former child stars. The siblings, who have been in the spotlight since they were toddlers, have always been known for their acting chops and effortless charm. However, it's clear that behind closed doors, they're just two peas in a pod with a whole lot to say.

The Fannings' latest collaboration is set to take Hollywood by storm. They'll be producing and starring in The Nightingale, their first joint project, alongside Reese Witherspoon. But what fans might not know is that the sisters have never shared a scene together – until now. "We've literally never done a scene together, ever," Dakota revealed.

Elle, who made her big-screen debut at just two years old in I Am Sam (co-starring with older sister Dakota), explained that they always wanted to give each other space to carve out their own paths. "When we were younger, we didn't want people to see us as 'the Fanning sisters.' We wanted to make sure everyone saw us differently," she said.

Now, as adults, the sisters have found a sense of fulfillment in merging their talents and creating content together. And it's clear that they've developed a bond stronger than ever – one that involves unapologetic honesty and unwavering support. When asked about being competitive, Dakota shot down the notion: "Zero. We're very different, so I don't even see something as right for her as being right for me."

Their latest projects are just the beginning of their joint endeavors. The Fannings have formed a production company called Lewellen Pictures and are working on several high-profile projects, including a Hulu true crime docuseries set to drop in September. They've also acquired the rights to Paris Hilton's memoir, with plans to adapt it into a TV series.

Paris Hilton's Seal of Approval

Hilton, who met Dakota on the set of The Cat in the Hat back in 2003, praised the Fannings for their unique perspective on her life and career. "They grew up watching my career unfold, so they understand both the cultural impact and the personal journey behind it," she said.

The sisters have been open about their close relationship, with Elle revealing that Dakota has always been there to protect her. "She was always there to help me out, and I think that's molded us into who we are today."

Love and Relationships

As for their love lives, the Fannings aren't shy about dishing on their relationships. Elle gushed about her boyfriend, Gus Wenner, saying, "If your partner doesn't post you on Instagram, that's a red flag. I love my boyfriend, and we're going to post each other." Dakota, currently single, quipped, "I've had some doozies lately! But one day..."

When asked about her attempts at dating, Dakota sheepishly revealed that she tried Raya – with mixed results. Elle chimed in, "Maybe my husband is there!" only for Dakota to shoot back, "I can confirm he's not."

Sisterly Love

The Fannings' bond is truly unbreakable, as they've developed a system of mutual support and encouragement. When asked about what keeps her grounded, Dakota shared, "If I lost every friend I have on the planet –"

Elle interrupted, dabbing her eyes with a cloth napkin: "The extremes!"

Dakota continued, "But if I still had my sister, I'd be like, 'Well, I have her.'"

Their unfiltered honesty and camaraderie are truly inspiring. As the Fannings continue to take Hollywood by storm, one thing is clear: their bond will only grow stronger with time.

The Fanning Family Drama

But behind all the glamour and glitz, there's a bit of family drama that the sisters prefer not to discuss in public. When asked about their parents' separation in 2016, Dakota politely declined to elaborate: "I don't think we should go there."

Elle added her two cents, saying, "She knows all my secrets, and I know all of hers. I relish the fact that I can protect her because she needs protection too." It's clear that despite any family drama, the Fannings' bond remains unbreakable.

As we bid farewell to this juicy interview, one thing is clear: Dakota and Elle Fanning are more than just talented actresses – they're sisterly soulmates who have each other's backs no matter what.
