She’s always been a bit of a wunderkind, and Elle Fanning just landed on the front page of the October 2015 issue of Teen Vogue.
As part of her interview for the Young Hollywood Issue, the 17-year-old “We Bought a Zoo” actress discussed the challenging role of playing a transgender teen in “About Ray.”
Elle shared, “I never thought about saying no, but I was so afraid to touch it. What if I don’t do it right? I know transgender kids – I am honored to help tell their story.” And as part of her research for the gig, Fanning chatted via Skype with several youths in various stages of the process- “Someone tracked their time using testosterone shots, and they were so excited to be getting a visible Adam’s apple. They started crying, and it just hit home.”
