Reflecting on her own experiences as a child star, the 31-year-old actress explained that she treats young actors the same as her adult co-stars.

“I sort of just treat them how I would treat any other actor,” she began. 

“I think that’s what I appreciated when I was younger, so I just kind of go with that,” Fanning said before moving to a new topic.
