Elle Fanning Reveals The Advice Nicole Kidman Gave Her On Choosing Her Projects

Elle Fanning is opening up about her new movie, All The Bright Places in the February 2020 issue of Marie Claire magazine.

Here’s what the 21-year-old actress had to say:

On the importance of her upcoming film, All the Bright Places: “Depression and mental illness in young people is so real, and it’s something people don’t want to talk about and want to shy away from. It has to be out there for people to see it, to get help, to not keep it hidden.”

On how her relationship with Angelina Jolie changed while filming Maleficent: “Angelina’s and my relationship definitely changed. She didn’t have to look at me as a kid; she didn’t have to censor what she could talk about. That was exciting, to have that relationship.”

On the advice Nicole Kidman gave her about choosing projects: “Because a lot of people are all, ‘You have to be so delicate. You have to choose this,’ and Nicole [Kidman] is like, ‘It’s OK, you’re young! Freedom!’”

All the Bright Places is out on February 28th on Netflix.
