Elle Fanning shocked fans by disclosing that she missed out on a significant role due to social media
Elle Fanning has alternated roles in her career both in major productions and in other 'indie', in which she has accumulated a significant number of fans. However, the actress has denounced that she was rejected from a major franchise because of her Instagram profile.
There is a new reality with which they have to live, especially the youngest actors and it is none other than the world of social networks. These have become a tool to connect and win over the audience, building an image, but they also have their dark side.
For this reason, the stars must take care more than ever of the profiles that they show to the public, since, also, the big producers pay attention to the smallest detail when hiring an actor.
In the same way, social networks are a scale to see the popularity of these artists, since counting on them for a project can mean attracting millions of followers to movie theaters, in this case.
Thus, Elle Fanning has revealed an anecdote that is the best example of the power of decision that Twitter or Instagram have today.
The actress stopped by the 'Happy Sad Confused' podcast, where she talked about the pressure interpreters can feel to join the big franchises of the moment to stay relevant.
"I don't feel that. I don't," said the actress, who has been acting since childhood and has worked for studios like Disney or directors like Woody Allen.
Of course, the young woman confessed that she had auditioned for a big-budget movie, although she was rejected: "I did a test for... Well, I'm not going to say what it was for, but I didn't get the role for something big because Although perhaps this was not the only reason, I was told that I did not have enough followers on Instagram at the time."
"So it was a bit like: 'I can't believe they didn't give me the role for this.' It was for something big, for a franchise," the interpreter explained.
Currently, Elle Fanning has 6.2 million on Instagram alone, being a more than enviable number for many.
