Elle & Dakota Fanning Want To Work Together | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

I did something very recently where. there was a child actor on Set uh and I. was playing a Santa Claus and there was. a quick break and this woman came on the. set grabbed the child and took the child. into another room and started teaching. her algebra really quickly yeah like in. between the shots literally you know. like a cosign and then you know this but. remember negative numbers and and then. we got to get back on set negative.

numbers negative numbers but but but. that's what it was like right it really. was yeah totally cuz I I mean I went to. a regular school from fourth grade on. and and graduated a senior year whatever. MH but um when I would work I would like. go and I'd had a studio teacher that. would teach me things and it would be. like you'd be doing these like really. intense scenes like be like crying and. then going down to like a basement where. theyve like set up a little you know.

picnic table and two chairs and you're. there and having to do your school. workor right also because the school. that I went to was pretty hard like I. had to keep up with the school work or. like I couldn't do films which I mean I. think was very important but then I. would be like staying up to like 3:00. a.m. like getting stuff done and like. writing papers and like I think now I'm. like how did I do that but think I had. the energy to do that when I was little. and now when I'm doing a project I'm. like so exhausted at the end of the day. but it used to be that I would go home.

and have all this like work to do and. you know book reports I'm like how did I. find the time but it's just so funny for. me to think of uh you know an actor at. your level who's doing this intense work. even as a even as a kid you're doing. this intense work and then quickly take. a break and you got to go make a. papier-mâché dinosaur yeah but it's kind. of nice there's yeah there's something. about it that is nice because you can. you switch in and out of it and it's I.

know not that I'm not the type of actor. anyways that really stays in it in. between like I need to go do something. else or you know right right go to. crafty and like laugh and relax and like. I don't really stay totally in it but I. think because when I was a kid I was so. used to switching in and out of it that. that's what I'm. programmed it's making me think now. wouldn't it be amazing if it was. required of everyone not just kids but. anyone during in between scenes had to. learn stuff so I'm just thinking of like.

and then you be quized on it later but. I'm thinking of like Al paccino and. Scarface you know and he's just doing. this over the top like a miss all my. little friend and then they're cut and. he's in the Next Room and they're like. now remember uh the Kansas Nebraska Act. 1950 like like oh yeah I got her I think. I got her I got so okay so so everything. north of the everything north of the 50°. latitude had to be okay those are had to. be okay a free state but anything below. okay and back on S say hello to.

my I think everyone has to do that now. like that you know it's hard for me to. believe that you've never you've never. done a scene or you've never acted in a. scene with your sister like you guys. haven't done that yet it's crazy we've. done I think the closest thing was an. animated we were in my neighbor todoro. when they did the American the English. um dubbing like version of that and I. was four and Dakota was eight I guess. and we played sisters in that but it was.

voice over it's not the same not the. same at all no no are you guys looking. for something yes yes and we have a. production company that we're producing. projects together is lellan. your did lellan do the great did you. guys were you a producer on the great. yes yes wow that's the great that is. good for you yeah really cool and. Luellen is our she's was our family dog. she pass away but yeah that's we're. honoring her but she yeah we have this. and we're you know always looking at. projects and we had a couple projects.

that were like oh was almost going to. work out that we were going to do. together and there are still some ideas. cuz we have to make it happen it's like. it's crazy that you what I'm we're. always looking for it I'm going to write. the script. great no no it's good and I've never. listen first of all never written a. movie script but I got it you'll be the. third sister yeah I'll be the yeah I'll. look like I look like the Wendy's girl. Hello sisters D check offs Three Sisters. You know what I love it'll yeah it'll be.

you two and people will be like this is. great this is Fant then ding. dong me and a big red wig totally like. checking out looking into the camera. lens doing all the things you're not. supposed to do yes totally unbelievable. wearing heels. 6'8 well. sisters well I think that's very cool. you guys both have uh cuz I know. fashion Fashion's very important to you.

yes and not just because uh you're a. great actor but you're also uh you seem. like a very artistic type I know you. cook I know you like to express yourself. in different ways and you like fashion. you like to take risks yeah I do not. take fashion risks like you are wearing. a cashmere hoodie under a Blazer yeah. basically that is a risk it's called the. Larry David I think this is what he well. that's a but it's like it's a good color. combo it's a dark green.

I'm doing AIT I'm doing a charitable. thing tonight so I'm usually dressed. down for the podcast but because I'm. doing this charity thing tonight I I. need to be dressed up a little bit so. this is me but I don't take fashion. risks I mean I don't what I'm saying is. I know that you'll really go for it. sometimes which is cool I don't think I. have the guts to do that I mean I think. I always like growing up I was kind of. allowed to like put my outfits together. and wear what I wanted to I did a lot of. like thrifting and vintage shopping and. stuff like that so acting it also comes.

with this whole other area that's like. this red carpet side which like you know. which is weird cuz it's like not. Everyone likes to do that just because. you're in movies it doesn't necessarily. mean that you want to like get your. picture taken all the time sure but I. think um I don't know for Me Maybe I was. like I do like this oh yeah I did I do. like the red carpet kind of artistic. expression and getting to it's like. another character you know yeah keeping. up with those things it is so unfair. will going someplace and we'll be seen.

and my wife will be in the closet for an. hour and she'll keep coming out and. trying different things and I just go in. and put on a suit I know and I just put. on a suit and people and everything is. just like yep check you're fine and my. wife will come in she'll come out she's. in a beekeeper outfit and she goes back. in she comes out she's you know she's. wearing like a you know a lion costume. yeah she's fur fur pants with like a. armored flish armored top you know she's. trying all this crazy stuff but but I.

feel like it's so much the pressure is. so much different yeah there is there. and there are some days you're just like. oh gosh. like like why do you know you have to. think so much about that stuff but then. I don't know other times it's it's very. fun but it's interesting with like with. movie like this like certain press tours. and stuff you know that it's going to be. oh you know what clothes you wear and. like that's a part of promoting films. now yes I don't know like literally what.

clothes you wear well let's talk about. this espe Timothy shalam a fashionista. himself he is quite the fashion he said. I just uh I just was passed the. television the other day and a. commercial it was a a men's cologne ad. that he's in ch for Chanel and he's like. falling through the air wearing and I. just thought should have been me they. are never coming to me oh wow look. if we can't get Timmy shalamay we've got.
