Beauty is pain, so they say, and actress Elle Fanning now has the experience to confirm that the old saying sometimes proves true. The 21-year-old recently had a medical scare during the Cannes Film Festival due to the gown she was wearing at one of the week’s events, which was so tight it made her pass out, Variety reported.
The incident happened during the Chopard Trophee dinner on Monday, May 20. Thierry Fremaux, the festival’s director, had just introduced actor Francois Civil on stage when Fanning — who is a member of this year’s Cannes jury — briefly fainted and fell out of her chair.
Other attendees that weren’t seated as close to Elle were unaware she had fainted until after the fact.
“Most people in the room didn’t even notice until after there was a brief pause, during which word quickly spread through the venue about what happened,” an eyewitness explained to E! News, also noting that the actress “quickly recovered before leaving.
