Dakota Fanning: ‘I Don’t Really Date’
Dakota Fanning may be entwined in “The Twilight Saga” franchise, but she has nothing to do with any of the romantic drama that surrounds many of its other stars off-camera. In fact, she doesn’t even date.
“I don’t really date,” the 18-year-old says in the March issue of Glamour.
Wait, what?! What kind of teenager isn’t interested in dating?
“I have a weird vision of relationships because my parents have known each other since second grade, and they got married right out of college,” she explains. “I’ve always thought that’s what it’s supposed to be like, and if it’s not, then I don’t want to waste my time on it. Even when I was 14, I was like, ‘I’m not gonna marry this person. What’s the point of doing it?’ It’s not me being naive. I just know what it’s supposed to be like. And I think until I feel that, I cannot be bothered.”
Ever the surprising young woman, Dakota also credits her 14-year-old sister, Elle, as being an inspiration.
“She’s very uninhibited and will try pretty much anything,” Dakota says. “Even the way she dresses — she dresses totally for herself. She risks being made fun of … by me, which I sometimes do, because I’m an older sister! But I totally admire her and think she’s very cool.”
Also totally cool? The way the elder Fanning handled the controversy late last year when her ad for Marc Jacobs perfume was banned in the U.K. for being too provocative.
“If you want to read something into a perfume bottle, then I guess you can. But it’s also like, ‘Why are you making it about that, you creep?’ I love Marc and trust him, and we just laughed about it,” she shares.
