Dakota Fanning: I bond with everyone

Dakota Fanning feels she can have a relationship with anyone.

The actress has moved away from her child star image with her latest role in The Last of Robin Hood, in which she plays real-life Hollywood icon Beverly Aadland, who embarked on a two-year fling with older actor Errol Flynn in 1957. Dakota, 20, acted opposite 66-year-old Kevin Kline, but didn't feel intimated when she had to seduce an older man on screen.

"I guess it’s maybe because I have been around so many adults from such a young age, I don’t even think about that. I’m just comfortable with people of every age. I don’t think of people as kids and adults because I’ve always felt like I was this weird in-between of being very fun and young and light hearted, but also having this serious, mature side," she explained to Refinery29.

"I’ve always had that balance within myself, so I feel like I can have a relationship with anyone. I can find some common ground with anyone. And, that must have something to do with being around a lot of adults from a young age. So, I didn’t even notice it."

Dakota has been in the limelight since she was just seven, when she had her big breakthrough in I Am Sam. Because of this her life has been heavily documented by the press - an experience which the blonde beauty still can't get her head around.

"I mean, watching a film that I did when I was seven is like watching a home video that millions of people saw. I definitely have this weird abnormal sort of capturing system of my life," she added. "I think I have been in the public for a long [enough] time that I don’t look back and I’m not too hard on myself - 'cause I can’t be. Also, we grew up in a time where, like the early [noughties], fashion [was] just not great to anybody."
