Elle Fanning Recalls Being Judged as 'Unf--kable' at 16 and Losing a Film Role

Elle Fanning shared that she was denied an acting role in a family film at age 16 after someone deemed her "unfuckable".
Fanning discussed this experience as part of a panel on sexism in Hollywood for The Hollywood Reporter.
Child actors frequently encounter disturbing sexualization and inappropriate comments, especially young women in the entertainment industry.
Fanning feels conflicted looking back on growing up in the spotlight but acknowledges how much she has grown from those experiences.
The film in question was never actually made, highlighting the absurdity of judging a 16-year-old's "sex appeal" for a family comedy role.
