Elle Fanning, reminiscing about a particularly awkward moment, describes it as "hilariously dramatic." In a recent interview with W Magazine, published on January 6th, the 27-year-old actress recounted her fainting episode at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival.
The Great alum revealed the cause of the incident, saying, "Yes, my dress was too tight." She continued, "My sister was sitting at another table, and she saw my chair just completely fall back. It’s kind of hilarious – very dramatic."
The actress recalled how the moment became a topic of conversation at the event. "Colin Firth was there, and he rushed to my side. It was the talk of the festival," Fanning reminisced.
Fanning has also experienced fainting spells frequently during her childhood. "In school, I would faint a lot," she recalled. "I grew, like, seven inches in one year, and I guess my body was growing so much that I got altitude sickness."
It's worth mentioning that Fanning was attending Cannes as a main juror. At the time, she was wearing a pink Prada gown.
After the incident, Fanning also addressed it on her official Instagram account, writing, "Oops, had a fainting spell tonight in my 1950’s Prada prom dress but it’s all good." She added that the dress was too tight and it was also "#timeofthemonth."
