Despite being in numerous hit films, including the highly anticipated, upcoming film The Twilight Sage: New Moon, 15-year-old movie star Dakota Fanning is still a regular teenage girl-or at least she attempts to be. Monday's Yahoo's entertainment blog featured an inside look at the actress's life off-camera. Fanning is photographed cheering at her local suburb-of-Los Angeles high school football game, and even gaining a bid on the school's Homecoming Court with flowers and a hunky football escort at hand. It's the typical high school photo-op you wouldn't expect for Hollywood's highest paid star under the age of 16.
I commend Dakota Fanning for attempting to live as normal of a life as possible. It's difficult to be in the spotlight at such a young age, and those special high school moments, such as the Homecoming football game, are memories that she should be able to have and cherish for the rest of her life. I think participating in average, teenage experiences is what keeps young celebrities grounded and humble. Although, I do wonder if Dakota was a little embarrassed at being nominated for Homecoming Court given that she is already a Hollywood starlet?
It's great that Dakota Fanning is attempting to live her life as a normal teenager rather than a movie star. I think it definitely says something about her personality that she was voted homecoming queen by her peers. I doubt Dakota was embarrassed about being crowned homecoming queen because she has walked down the red carpet before!
