The real reason behind Elle Fanning&#039;s denial of watching Dakota Fanning&#039;s feature episode on &#039;Friends&#039; was once revealed by the former.

How Dakota Fanning’s Alluring &#8216;Friends&#8217; Episode Was &#8216;Boycotted&#8217; by Her Own Sister for a Surprising Reason

Friends, as a prime-time show of the 90s, had many specialties. From the
star-studded affair to historical paychecks, it also became an emblem for
prominent features of cameo roles. As many big-impact celebrities made their
appearances in the show creating a buzz, Dakota Fanning too, became one of the
big names who had their names etched on the credits for Friends.

Fanning’s debut in the NBC sitcom came in the series’ final stretch. But for an
unbelievable reason, her own sister, Elle Fanning, refused to watch the episode
as was once revealed by Elle Fanning herself.


WHY DID ELLE FANNING DENY WATCHING DAKOTA FANNING’S CAMEO IN FRIENDS?

Friends was really a stardust-filled presence of the 90s television. Starting
from Brad Pitt

Paul Rudd, and Julia Roberts, it also made some star kids feature in the show,
including Dakota Fanning and Cole Sprouse. However, in a 2019 interview with
Porter Magazine
[https://www.net-a-porter.com/en-us/porter/article-2f712eebeea13305/cover-stories/cover-stories/elle-fanning],
Elle Fanning revealed how she settled on “boycotting the show” and “refused to
watch the episode” featuring her sister. While it could look like the classic
case of sisterly strife, it also was added with a tinge of jealousy. 



As per her interview, Elle Fanning auditioned for the role of Phoebe Buffay’s
triplets. What led to her decision to “boycott” was how Dakota Fanning landed a
role later in the show instead of her. Considering she was already hurt by the
refusal, her sister’s fitting to the role came as a salt rub on the wound.
Hence, Elle Fanning was more of the opinion that “I am not watching this.”.

Years have passed since the incident, and the sisters have moved on from the
sibling rivalry. Moreover, along with her bold confession, also came an
admission of how she wanted to work with Dakota Fanning on-screen.


BACK WHEN ELLE FANNING DISCLOSED HER DESIRE TO WORK WITH DAKOTA FANNING

No household has ever been truly free of blood feuds. Especially true in the
case of the Fanning sisters. However, given that the train of jealousy has
finally left the station, there is no doubt that their childhood grudge has also
worn off. The sense of alliance came from her interview with W Magazine that
same year. Elle Fanning’s declaration of desire to work with her sister began
with her dream of starting a production company.

She said how she wanted to name it after her grandmother, “so it could be Gaba
Productions”. But then onwards, she also became an active cheerleader for Dakota
Fanning’s projects. So much so that she would often raid her sister’s jewelry
closet. While a moderate amount of jealousy hurt no one, it is indeed more
favorable to witness the sister’s connection rather than focusing on their
competition.
