Elle Fanning Opened Up About The “Disgusting Pig” Who Said She Was “Unfuckable” At 16 Years Old
Actors know they won’t get every role they audition for, but that doesn’t mean the reasoning behind a casting choice is justified. And now, Elle Fanning is shining light on some of those decisions.
The Hollywood Reporter“I was trying out for a movie. I didn’t get it. But it was a father-daughter road-trip comedy.”
Randy Shropshire / Deadline via Getty Images“And there was someone involved with the project, that the feedback — which I didn’t hear from my agents and things because they were very protective, they wouldn’t tell me things like this — but I heard it from an outside party.”
The Hollywood ReporterElle went on to express her gratitude for the “filtration system” her team has set up when it comes to relaying messages to her. She believes there are probably “a lot more damaging comments” that have been said about her that never made it to her ears because of her team.
Donato Sardella / The Hollywood Reporter via Getty Images“But this [comment] got to me. I was 16 years old and this person said, ‘Oh, she didn’t get the father-daughter road-trip comedy because she’s unfuckable.'”
The Hollywood Reporter“It’s so disgusting,” Elle added. “There are so many stories like this that I’ve heard and talked to people about. I laugh at it now, I’m like, ‘What a disgusting pig!'”
David M. Benett / Dave Benett / Getty Images for Alexander McQueenThe Great star said she always felt confident, even at a young age growing up in the public eye, so the comment ultimately had no affect on her self-esteem.
The Hollywood Reporter“I don’t feel like it damaged me, but it definitely made me very aware of myself.”
Axelle / FilmMagic / Getty ImagesWow, I can only imagine some of the things said behind closed doors during these casting calls. But according to Elle, the movie was never made, so…karma.
