Elle Fanning expresses embarrassment over viral Jack Black crush

Dakota Fanning has revealed that her sister, Elle Fanning, feels embarrassed following her viral confession regarding a crush on actor Jack Black. Speaking on the ‘Happy Sad Confused’ podcast, Dakota noted that Elle has been nervous that her public admiration might have made Black uncomfortable.

The situation escalated when the sisters encountered a friend of Jack Black’s wife, musician Tanya Haden, in an airport lounge. According to Dakota, Elle expressed apology to the woman, stating that the situation had ‘gotten out of hand,’ but the friend responded positively, noting that they found the situation funny.

Elle’s comments about Black originally gained traction during a lie detector test with her sister and later during an appearance on ‘The Tonight Show’. While Elle has reportedly felt mortified by the persistence of the story, Jack Black has previously addressed the attention with humor.
