Dakota Fanning is all grown up. She’s playing a vampire in New Moon.
“I read all four Twilight books in one week. It’s such a phenomenon, and I wanted to be able to say that I was a part of it.”
She goes to high school, where she’s a varsity cheerleader.
“I started there in the ninth grade, and they were pretty receptive to me right away. I really wanted a home base, because I feel like no matter how old people are, they remember homecoming. They remember their senior prom. And I really wanted that.”
She plays wild child Cherie Currie in The Runaways — and sings a few tracks.
“I get my rebellion out through my movies. I’m boring in that way. I enjoy having a normal life.”
The onetime Marc Jacobs model first posed for Teen Vogue was when she was 12. And after the photo shoot, she took a pair of custom-made kid-size Marc Jacobs combat boots:
“I still have them! I’ve had to have them stretched, but I will do anything it takes to squeeze into those shoes.”
