Elle Fanning says she is trying to spiral less in 2026

Elle Fanning shares her goal to "spiral less" in 2026, discusses her award-winning film 'Sentimental Value,' and teases her role in the new Hunger Games prequel.

"I'm trying to stay more present... I can kind of think into the future too much and spiral, so I need to, like, live in the moment. - Elle Fanning"

Los Angeles, Jan 11

Hollywood actress Elle Fanning has shared that she is working towards making 2026 a bit different for her than the last year.

The actress shared her relatable goal for 2026 as she attended the Palm Springs International Film Festival Film Awards in Palm Springs, California, reports 'People' magazine.

During the conversation, the actress revealed what she hopes to leave behind in 2025. She told 'People', "I'm trying to stay more present. I think I'm a big dreamer, which is good, but then I can kind of think into the future too much and spiral, so I need to, like, live in the moment".

She went on, "I feel like people have a very emotional response to this movie. I think that it's kind of universal. People have come out of the theater and, you know, said that they hadn't talked to their parents in a long time, and they finally talked to (them) after just seeing our film. So that's a beautiful thing".

As per 'People', the actress, who received the International Star Award at the festival for her ensemble work in the film Sentimental Value, went on to share how it feels to be a part of a project that has resonated so strongly with audiences.

The movie, which also stars Renate Reinsve and Stellan Skarsgard, tells the story of a woman who is forced to reconnect with her estranged father, a famous director, when he unexpectedly returns to her life after the death of her mother.

Elle Fanning additionally provided a glimpse into her role as Effie Trinket in the upcoming 'Hunger Games' prequel movie, 'The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping'.

"That world is so great. And I got a little taste of some good costumes. I have a lot of selfies on my phone", she added.

Interesting to see a Hollywood star talk about something so human. The movie's theme about reconnecting with a parent hits close to home. In our culture, family bonds are so strong, but sometimes they get strained too. Might check this film out.

Planning for 2026 already in Jan 2025? 😂 That's the definition of thinking too far ahead! But seriously, it's a good reminder. We could all use a little less stress and a little more living in the *present* moment.

Respectfully, while her goal is nice, it feels a bit privileged. Most people are just trying to make ends meet and survive the year, not "spiral" about future dreams. But I guess the pressure in the film industry is different.

More excited about her role in the new Hunger Games movie! Effie Trinket is such an iconic character. Hope the prequel does justice to the original series. The costumes are always a highlight.

The part about the movie making people call their parents is beautiful. Art that heals relationships is powerful. We have so many family dramas in Indian cinema that explore this too. Universal theme indeed.
