Elle Fanning started out as a child artist. What else can happen when many in the family are involved in movies? A lot of time has passed since then. The 26-year-old actress is now playing important roles in big-budget movies. Elle is currently in the news with 'A Complete Unknown'. However, apart from acting, she also spoke about the use of social media in promoting the movie.

The movie is based on the story of Bob Dylan's youth and is directed by James Mangold.

Elle plays an important role in the movie, which was released on December 25. The actress places equal importance on improving her acting skills and maintaining her mental health.

For this reason, she has limited his use of social media. Elle told the British daily The Guardian, "I try to keep it (social media) as healthy as possible. I'm only on Instagram. It's not that I use it very little, but I know how to enjoy it without stressing."

Elle also gave advice to her followers about using Instagram, 'Everyone posts beautiful pictures. I know, many of the pictures are highly edited, and some are fake; still, I look at them carefully. But many people feel pressured to "be beautiful" after seeing these. This creates a lot of problems. It is a big threat to the mental health of young people.'

In an interview, the actress said that her character in 'A Completely Unknown' was more popular for a different reason. Elle said, 'I am old-fashioned in my heart. I like to wear clothes from the past. Even the glitzy things of this time don't appeal to me that much. This movie is set in the context of the sixties, what could be better for me!'

This year, Elle will be seen in several different movies, including the new film in the 'Predator' franchise.
