Elle Fanning shares a big laugh with co-star Nicholas Hoult during their panel at the 2020 Winter TCA Tour on Friday afternoon (January 17) in Pasadena, Calif.
The two actors were joined at the annual press event by producer Marian Macgowan and showrunner Tony McNamara as they chatted about their new Hulu series, The Great.
“We pride ourselves on not being historically accurate, so there is room to experiment,†Elle said during the event about how the series throws out historical accuracy.
She added, “You can look at so many oil paintings of someone, but they probably didn’t even look that way. So, it doesn’t help me so much as the script does with capturing the character that Tony has created, her essence, and what’s her journey.â€

On the importance of her upcoming film, All the Bright Places: “Depression and mental illness in young people is so real, and it’s something people don’t want to talk about and want to shy away from. It has to be out there for people to see it, to get help, to not keep it hidden.â€
On how she relates to All the Bright Places: “At that age, I was experiencing first love and, like, relationships and just how impactful that is on your life. That never goes away for people. That first love is so intense and sets up so many things in your life. And also, not to get into too much, but it was also… not the best… It was kind of a tumultuous relationship.â€
On her love for vintage clothing: “Some people are repulsed by that smell of vintage clothing, but I love it. I think it’s because I’m a very nostalgic person and I daydream a lot. I feel I was possibly born in the wrong era – those old movies, Grace Kelly, so gorgeous.â€
