Elle Fanning Was 'Really Moved' By 'About Ray' Role

Elle Fanning wears a long denim dress while arriving to lunch on Saturday afternoon (August 22) in Beverly Hills, Calif.

The 17-year-old actress was spotted out earlier in the day, sharing a laugh with a friend after an early workout in Studio City.

Elle recently chatted with Out mag about taking on a transgender role in About Ray.

“It did make me very nervous when I was asked to do this film,” she shared. “It was a big responsibility. I was really moved by Ray’s story.”

Elle added, “I have a lot of transgender friends, so it was interesting for me to read this script and try to really understand the struggle of my friends and how they think and handle these issues. They are really incredible people.”
