Hollywood actress Elle Fanning says a top executive called her “unf***able” at just 16-years-old.
The Great actress experienced the vile judgement when auditioning for a comedy movie role.
She did not name the repulsive Tinseltown chief, but labelled him a “pig”.

The actress, 25, told Hollywood Reporter: “I was trying out for a movie. I didn’t get it.
“I don’t even think they ever made it, but it was a father-daughter road trip comedy.”
She said that “someone involved with the project” had provided unfavourable feedback on her audition – information that was initially kept from her by management but ultimately disclosed by an “outside party”.

“I was literally 16 years old and this person said: ‘Oh, she didn’t get the father-daughter road trip comedy because she’s unf***able.’.
“That filtration system is really important because there’s probably a lot more damaging comments that were said, that they filtered out – but this one got to me. It’s so disgusting.”

“It’s funny thinking about myself at that age. I was always like, immensely confident.… But of course you’re growing up in the public eye.
“I don’t feel like it damaged me, but it definitely made me very aware of myself.”
Unlike other child actors, Elle has had a prolific career, with 63 credits to her name.
She currently has seven projects in the works, including the upcoming film about director Francis Ford Coppola, Francis and the Godfather.
