Dakota Fanning<\/strong><\/a> and her little sister, Elle Fanning<\/strong><\/a>, are both at the top of their game in Hollywood and a source tells Life & Style<\/em> exclusively they\u2019re tighter than ever while having each other\u2019s backs and coping with the pressures of fame.<\/p>\n \u201cThey both say all the time how they\u2019re each other\u2019s best friend<\/a>,\u201d an insider tells Life & Style<\/em>, revealing Elle, 27, and Dakota, 31, manage to keep a close bond amid their stellar careers.<\/p>\n \u201cThey talk constantly, even when they\u2019re working on opposite sides of the world, they are in touch non-stop. When Elle\u2019s on set, Dakota\u2019s the one she FaceTime\u2019s when she\u2019s having a rough day, and vice versa,\u201d add the sources. \u201cThey have a rule that no matter what, they never go more than two days without checking in, but they usually don\u2019t even go that long.\u201d<\/p>\n As of late, Elle has been celebrating the initial success of her recent project, Sentimental Value<\/em>, in which she portrays Rachel Kemp. She plays a young Hollywood star who scores a part in an acclaimed filmmaker\u2019s movie amid a complicated family dynamic.<\/p>\n The movie garnered a 15-minute standing ovation during the 78th annual Cannes Film Festival. Elle is also now slated to play the younger Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping.<\/em><\/p>\n Dakota, for her part, last appeared in The Perfect Couple<\/em> and The Watchers<\/em> in 2024, and it seems the siblings are looking forward to a potential collaboration in the future.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have plans for sure,\u201d Elle said about joining forces with her famous sister in a future project, per Deadline<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n Elle Fanning and Dakota Fanning<\/p>\n <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Dakota got her start in the acting biz in 1999 when she was 5 years old, roughly two years before Elle made her mark in Tinseltown.<\/p>\n The sisters notably appeared in the 2001 movie I Am Sam<\/em>, playing the older and younger version of the character Lucy.<\/p>\n They also later voiced the sisters in the English-language version of My Neighbor Totoro<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re very supportive of each other. I\u2019m very lucky to have a family member who\u2019s in the business. She understands what it\u2019s like and what you\u2019re going through,\u201d Elle gushed to Us Weekly<\/em> in September 2018. \u201cOf course, we talk about [our] movies and, \u2018Oh, what are you about to go do<\/a>?\u2019 And that\u2019s exciting, but there\u2019s other things to talk about.\u201d<\/p>\n More recently, the dynamic duo were set to star in The Nightingale<\/em>, which was about two sisters during WWII dealing with the German Occupation in France.<\/p>\n However, the project came to a halt due to the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n Sources tell Life & Style<\/em> the talented sisters have proven to be each other\u2019s biggest supporters time and time again.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen they have premieres or big events, they help style each other and send outfit pics for approval if they\u2019re not in the same city,\u201d the insiders reveal. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter if they\u2019re far apart, they\u2019re still completely intertwined.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cElle\u2019s the first person that Dakota tells anything to because she just gets her, and Elle is the same way,\u201d the insiders add. \u201cThey\u2019ve always leaned on each other, even as little girls, and that\u2019s even more apparent the older they get. When they\u2019re together they complete each other\u2019s sentences, they\u2019re almost like twins<\/a> in a lot of ways.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
