Dakota Fanning actually turned 18 last February, an event that probably would’ve been accorded more fanfare if she didn’t seem so damned normal. She never seemed like a stereotypical child actor, which makes it that much weirder that she went and did a nude scene as soon as she was legal.
Dakota Fanning might be one of the “Very Good Girls” in her 2013 coming-of-age drama, but that doesn’t mean she didn’t get the chance to show off her bad self in the flick. The actress bares more than just her soul in the film, going nude for the first time on camera.
Get it? “Much more than her soul?” I think they mean her bewbs (.) (.) – ({})
“Yeah, well, I’ve never done that before and I’m very newly allowed to do that,” she explained to MTV News at the Sundance Film Festival, where she was out promoting the movie. “I was newly 18, so yeah, it was, it’s kind of a sensitive thing, but it’s a part of life.”
Fanning grows up big time in the film, which follows her and her pal, played by Elizabeth Olsen, as they embark on their journey through adolescence, on a quest to lose their virginity, and all the repercussions that come along with it. It also means that Fanning had to capture that life-changing moment in the film. [MTV]
Like I said, even as an avowed pervert, this feels weird. I don’t believe in body shame except as it pertains to myself, so if a girl wants to jam out with her clam out, that’s kool and the gang, but this definitely tilts the Dakota Fanning dial that was firmly pointed at “normal” back towards “stereotypical child actress.” But then again, I smoked about eight billion cigarettes the day I turned 18, just because I could, and if the government had said minors couldn’t buy dog poop, I probably would’ve smeared it all over my body like Predator. So I guess I get it. All I know is, she keeps doing nude scenes, she’s going to have to change her name to Dakota FUNning, am I right? (*bow tie spins, gets yanked off stage*)
I can’t believe I made it through this entire post without mentioning Chloe Moretz.

Waaaaaaaaaaait for it…
Just two more years now.
old enough to pee, old enough for me
Underage?
Under me.
No grass on the field? Play in the mud.
Why dont you guys have a seat? Yeah, right over there. So, what are you doing here?
I don’t think that’s the correct awful saying
Well, it apparently got terrible reviews at Sundance. Although, film critics notoriously hate naked teenagers.
Rex Reed said… nothing really. He just covered his eyes and screeched as he ran from the theater.
Girls go on quests to lose their virginity? Sounds like bullshit to me.
Right? That “quest” amounts to walking up to the nearest dude and pointing to their cooters. Hardly quixotic.
Are they in monster makeup? Or even Charlize Theron in “Monster” ugly makeup?
Cuz even then they’d still only have to go a few blocks at most.
Only in the movies.
I heard it was CGI.
FANNY.
There.
Wasn’t she in a movie where her character is raped? So in my imagination she’s already been nude.
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Yep, when she was 12.
Sit down… can I interest you in this plate of cookies?
So you know how to get blood stains out of a clown suit?
/sorry
Well, technically you don’t have to be 18. Whats-her-face wasn’t of age in American Beauty. Not the flat chested whats-her-face, the other one.
You mean that chick that was in Dungeons and Dragons with Marlon Wayans? No Way!
Or Brooke Shields. That’s a thing that exists, unfortunately.
Thora Birch. I remember reading that her parents are fucking nuts and not only signed off on it but encouraged it.
Also Kiera Knightley in The Hole but she was legal for British standards.
Correction there kyPe, her parents were crazy about fucking, mom was in Deep Throat and a few other skin flicks.
so apparently searching for “dakota fanning nude leaks” on goolge wasn’t a very good idea, I’m going to burn my hard drive now
Remember to use the Pete Townshend defense: you were just researching for a book. Speaking of, anyone read the Pete Townshend Guide to Jacking Off to Minors?
Elizabeth Olsen gave me a funny feeling in my no-no place in “Martha Marcy May Marlene.”
I went gay for John Hawkes.
I was watching a little of Man on Fire the other day. I definitely appreciate her more as a non-sexually objectified child actress.
Cut! We’ve got a surfboard in the shot.
That’s the seventh nipple I’ve seen today.
Whenever I see Chloe Moretz mentioned on the internet, I immediately imagine the little siren gif for drudgereport.
For this story alone, it would be much funnier if posting inline images were allowed simply for pedobear and Chris Hansen peek around the corner gifs.
Chloe Mortez’s hands are freakishly huge. Like she could do the whole “You’re dumb if your hand is bigger than your face” test and her hand would actually be bigger than her face.
I share Vince’s sentiments exactly, this seems kinda gross…and it’s the first time I’ve ever thought that about an 18-year-old actress bein’ all naked.
It’s because she’s not lookin’ too hot in that banner picture, isn’t it.
Is it hypocritical of me to agree with Vince while wishing she would give career advice to Anna Sophia Robb?
And Allison Brie. (she’s way over 18, so what’s taking her so long?!)
Like the Bible says, we’re all born naked, and we all die the same way. It doesn’t say anything about getting naked in between, but it doesn’t say not to get naked either. So basically, Dakota is just following the teachings of the Bible.*
*don’t ask how many times this got me laid at Bible Camp*
(alright, the answer is zero. SO FAR…)
Remember when the Olsen twins were a thing? There was an 18 year old countdown and shit? That petered out quickly.
Something about them bothers me deeply. They look like sickly, smug little velociraptors in obnoxious clothes. The definition of fashion victims.
And they killed Heath Ledger, which was a real dick move.
All of the above.
He said “petered out”…..
Getting naked on film is the 2013 version of a butterfly tattoo on your ankle. Way to celebrate your independence, 90′s freshmen at Swarthmore!
This makes me feel old. i assumed she was like 15 or 16 at most.
I thought Vince made a mistake when I saw the headline
She’s been 18 in my brain for years.
I’m with you too Vince. I shoud be eager to see Dakotas tatas, but for some reason I’m pitching reverse tent.
Guess I like a little scandal to go along with my barely legal teen celeb nudity like slutty stolen cell pics or paparazzi shots of them stumbling drunk out the club everynight. Amanda Bynes being the most recent example of going from ‘meh’ to ‘oh yeah, look at your mugshot, you dirty little girl’.
Tell me Dakota wouldn’t be ten times hotter with a coke problem?!!
I alway had a thing for the girl next door.
Of course I lived next door to a crackhouse.
“I’m pitching reverse tent”
Is that… is that pooping?
And does that mean that when women complain about the tent I can just say I’m reverse pooping?
She wouldn’t?
Wake me when Chloe Mortez hits 18.
Ditto. Dakota looked promising until she hit puberty and ended up … Forgettable.
Her sister’s going to be hotter and taller, but I’m all in for Chloe.
Agreed. If I am going to get put on an internet watch list it is not going to be for Miss Fanning.
Better this than Helen Hunts boney cervix.
Caught their set at the Rainbow room.
While I’m at it…
*jots down Boney Cervix as a potential girl baby name*
I’m officially an old now.
So there is a God.
The thought of her naked soul is erotic. Well, maybe to Deepak Chopra.
Are we seeing North Dakota or South Dakota?
I just…this…ummm….*slow clap*
COTW
That is good on a few different latitudes,
Wow, I thought she was like 20 or so. Thought Elle was the only underage one. Well, congrats, I suppose.
Bella. if you, thought Connie`s st0rry is flabbergasting, last saturday I got a great Lancia since I been earnin $5737 this last four weeks and even more than $10k this past-month. with-out any question its the easiest-job I have ever done. I actually started six months/ago and pretty much immediately began to make minimum $71… per-hour. I use the details on this website….. [xurl.es]
A girls quest to lose her virginity?! In real life it would go like this. Act 1 wave down first guy you see. Act 2 sex. Roll credits. Total run time 1 min.
Like I said, even as an avowed pervert, this feels weird. I don’t believe in body shame except as it pertains to myself, so if a girl wants to jam out with her clam out, that’s kool and the gang, but this definitely tilts the Dakota Fanning dial that was firmly pointed at “normal” back towards “stereotypical child actress.” But then again, I smoked about eight billion cigarettes the day I turned 18
“Jam out with her clam out?” Classy, dude. Oh, it was actually the spelling of “kool” that may have klassified you as an actual phucking pervert. Just maybe. Oh, where is that Karly?
Why am I not surprised that someone using a sarcastic “classy” as an insult takes my intentionally silly wordplay the wrong way.
You forgot to copy and paste the other half of the article that we just read that you’re quoting without proper quote punctuation nitpicking an article that probably put us all on a list for some government agency to monitor and I for one am against underage nudity and commas.
Also, what kind of martian is unfamiliar with Kool & The Gang?
