Growing up as child stars isn’t easy for little girls, who, as they grow up, reveal and realize the hypersexualization they may have experienced in Hollywood. This is the case of the actress Elle Fanning, who confided on this subject for a long time in the columns of Hollywood Reporters.
In a chat with actress Jenna Ortega, Elle Fanning revealed that then, at the peak of her career, a director turned her down for a role because she was « not fucked“. ” I was 16And I heard one person say ‘oh, she don’t get the part cause she ain’t fucked'”.

” All these thoughts would have done a huge damage to me”
Worse still: the feature was supposed to be a comedy around road trip between a father and his daughter. The actress says her agents didn’t warn her right away. ” They didn’t want to tell me such a thing. They set up a filtering system in what they told me, otherwise all these reflections would have done me enormous damage. However, the film in question may never have seen the light of day, she says. And it’s not that bad.
Like Elle Fanning, many actresses began their careers as children and now, as adults, denounce the hypersexualization they have suffered. Like Natalie Portman, who last May said the film Lion by Luc Besson, which propelled her to stardom, was “really embarrassing”, due to the staging of an affair between a grown man and a child. Or Mara Wilson, also last May, who in an interview returned at length to her hypersexualization by the press, when she was only 6 years old.
