Elle Fanning was obsessed with Bob Dylan when she was a teenager

She told The Observer: "Every day, in middle school, in cursive. I wasn't allowed to have posters on my walls because I had flowery wallpaper and my mom didn't want me to ruin it, but I had a corkboard and I would print out Bob Dylan photos and put them up on my corkboard.

"I was obsessed with Marilyn Monroe, Bob Dylan. I loved vintage clothes. They were actually really cool but, you know, not the normal thing to fit in."

Elle revealed she became obsessed with Dylan director Cameron Crowe introduced her to his music on the set of 'We Bought a Zoo'.

While Elle's musical tastes differed to her peers, she admitted she made some unsuccessful attempts to fit it.

She said: " I was OK. And then there was a time where I was like, OK, I'm gonna wear the skinny jeans and the T-shirt, and try to wear the sexy dress to the bar mitzvah, or whatever. And then it was like, gosh, this just - it wasn't quite me. And then inevitably, I'm like, all right, go back to yourself."

Elle and co-star Timothée Chalamet - who plays Dylan - first met on the set of Woody Allen's 2019 film 'A Rainy Day in New York'.

She said: "In some ways, [their relationship] emulates the structure of Sylvie and Bob, because I knew him before he became [a huge star]..."
