Elle Fanning, 13, Would Rather Look "Two Than 21"

[Teh One Who Knocks]

By Andrea Lavinthal - Us Weekly




Her style icons are Marylin Monroe and Alexa Chung and she's worn high-fashion looks by Chanel and Valentino, but Elle Fanning isn't in a rush to dress like a grown-up.

"I'd much rather look like a two-year old than a 21-year-old, the We Bought a Zoo actress, 13, tells Teen Vogue.

The star, who appeared in Marc by Marc Jacobs Fall 2011 ad campaign, looks fresh-faced and yes, age-appropriate on the magazine's February 2012 issue. Inside, she dished on everything from being on the big screen to her famous sis.

On her acting method: "I never really pull from experience. I just sort of make believe. That's why I like acting. You can create or imagine anything. It's not like I’ve fallen in love but I’ve had crushes and things."

On her crush on Ryan Gosling: "Me and my friends saw Crazy, Stupid, Love, and we were freaking out. Everyone falls in love with him after that."

On big sister Dakota: "I remember the first time Dakota asked me for fashion advice about what to put with what. I was like, 'My big sister is asking me?'"

It does give hope that not all kids in Hollywood are fucked in the head and that some still wanna be kids.

I think this 'age of sluts' may be wrapping up... Chicks need to be more into themselves and not skank it out like a trick...
