Elle Fanning is one of the rare celebrities who are on good terms with the paparazzi, but then again, the girl is in a class all on her own. If you saw her play Aurora in “Maleficent”, you would be quick to point out that the bubbly and eternally-positive role is not that far off from her normal self. Hence making her a paparazzi favorite.

In November 2015, Elle was spotted chatting it up with the paparazzi at the Los Angeles Airport before jetting out.

The cameraman asked Elle what it was like when she got into sisterly fights with her older sibling Dakota, and if she had one favorite fashion item. Elle responded as much as she could before getting on an escalator for her departure.
