Elle Fanning Told She Was Too 'Unf---able' for Movie Role When She Was Just 16

When asked how she digested feedback like that at the time, Fanning said that while she was"always immensely confident," growing up in the public eye can be"weird."

"I'll look at paparazzi photos from when I was 12 and think, 'Is that a good thing to see such a mirror of yourself at that age?' I don't feel like it damaged me, but it definitely made me very aware of myself," she said. Lyonne then shared a disturbing experience of her own from her Hollywood beginnings, claiming that when she auditioned for a"Lolita" remake as a 14 or 15-year-old actress, she was asked,"Can you eat this banana slowly?"

"And I was already a bit of a tough guy, so I was like, 'So you mean eat the banana slowly?' But it's sick," she continued."Ultimately, it seems like your question is one about stepping into autonomy — and certainly being able to find a measure of autonomy, that's the blessing of having some success. You can be a little more selective and wise about what you're stepping into.
