Elle Fanning Has Crush on 'Hot' Jack Black. Her Boyfriend Once Shouted to the Actor 'You're Her Hall Pass!'
The actress said she has a group chat with sister Dakota Fanning and friends that is "basically dedicated to how hot Jack Black is"
Elle Fanning is Jack Black's No. 1 fan.
The actress met Black at the Golden Globes in January, sharing selfies with him on Instagram with the caption, "Also THIS! Life made!" While on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Thursday, Dec. 12, Fanning was asked about the meetup.
"It has made my life," the A Complete Unknown star, 26, reiterated, adding, "So, we have a group chat, my sister and all my girlfriends, and it's basically dedicated to how hot Jack Black is. Like, he is our perfect man. Like, beyond."
"We send each other clips of him all the time, and, like, specifically the saxophone clip from on the show. It's iconic."
Of the Globes selfie moment, Fanning explained, "We were waiting for our cars at the valet at the same time, and my boyfriend was with me, he was like, 'Go up to him, go up to him,' and he convinced me to, and I did. Then my boyfriend yelled to him, he was like, 'You're her hall pass, by the way!' "
Fanning, who is dating Rolling Stone CEO Gus Wenner, said with a laugh that Black, who was there with his wife Tanya Haden, "loved" the remark. "We were laughing," she said. "I mean, I was turning bright red. I, like, still am."
Fanning's older sister who is also in that Jack Black–adoring group chat, The Perfect Couple actress Dakota, 30, previously spoke about her bond with Elle and how they differ "personality-wise."

"She has her emotions on her sleeve, and people would say she’s a free spirit," Dakota told The Cut in October. "I’m more of that stereotype of the older one who keeps everything together and is pragmatic. But the dynamics shift as you get older — there have been times when I’ve fallen apart and been wild and she’s picked me up."
A Complete Unknown is in theaters Dec. 25.
