Elle Fanning Reveals She Lost Role for Not Being ‘Sexually Desirable’ at 16

Actress Elle Fanning, 25, surprised her fans by revealing an episode that happened early in her career. The interpreter of Princess Aurora in “Maleficent” (2014) and Catherine, in the series ” The Great ”, said she lost a job at age 16 because she was not considered a “sexually desirable” young woman.

“I was just trying to make a movie. I was 16 and a production person said loud and clear, ‘She didn’t get to be in the father-daughter road trip comedy because she’s impossible to f*ck.’ “, Fanning said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

In addition to her, Devery Jacobs (“The Order”), Ayo Edebiri (“The Bear”), Natasha Lyonne (“Orange is The New Black”), Sheryl Lee Ralph (“Abbott Elementary”) and Jenna Ortega (“Wandinha”) participated in the conversation. All were horrified by Elle’s account. “Today, I can laugh at the situation and say that ‘disgusting pig'”.

This is not the first time that Elle exposes cases that happened at the beginning of her career. In May, the actress participated in the Happy Sad Confused podcast and said that she had lost a role in a major film franchise because she did not have many followers on her Instagram, this was the only feedback she received from the film’s team. “That shouldn’t be a parameter for casting actors,” commented Dakota Fanning’s younger sister at the time.
