Elle Fanning Talks Playing Princess Aurora: 'She Has More Strength' in 'Maleficent'

Elle Fanning keeps it light and cool in an eyelet top while out to breakfast at Paty’s with her parents in Toluca Lake, Calif., on Friday morning (June 6).

The 16-year-old actress recently spoke with Reuters about taking on the iconic Princess Aurora role for Maleficent.

“In the animated (version), she has all those characteristics of a princess; she is very delicate and frolics around in the forest. In ours she does that, but she has more strength to her, there is a little bit more depth,” she shared.

Elle added, “In live action, you can really show those emotions. She feels sadness and betrayal.”
