Acting started coincidentally for me, says Dakota Fanning

Actor Dakota Fanning, who has floored cinemagoers with her performances since she was six, says she never thought she would take up acting as a full- fledged career.
The 23-year-old actor said although she liked playing dress up as a child, she unknowingly ventured into Hollywood as her mother sensed her disinterest in studies, Entertainment Weekly reported.
"It all started so coincidentally for me. I did this commercials and I had a good time so I did another one, then I did a TV show which turned into a movie and then I was an actor all of sudden.
"I wasn't a kid that was like, 'I want to be in the movies.' Not at all. I just liked to play around the house and make up scenarios and my mom kind of noticed that I was disinterested in all of the lessons she put me in. I just wanted to play at home so she put me in a drama camp to see if I liked doing that," Fanning said during Vulture and TNT's "The Alienist premiere" Q&A session at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival.
