Hollywood actress Elle Fanning has revealed she didn't have any good friends until she was nine.

The actress, who turned 18 in April, entered the world of showbiz before she turned three and says she was cocooned from normal social interactions with people her own age until she pestered her mother to send her to a regular school, reported Femalefirst.

"I had no friends - friends like, beast friends. I'd never gone to a sleepover or anything, because you know, I was working," Fanning said.

But the actress thinks she subsequently found it easier to make friends because, unlike some children, it was something she could never take for granted.
 

"I was socially reaching out. But it was definitely scary.
