October 2, 2008 - Actress Dakota Fanning just took on her toughest role. She became a cheerleader at her high school. After being homeschooled for most of her life, Dakota recently enrolled in a private school in Los Angeles where she wanted to get a full sense of the school community. What better way to acclimate socially then to join the cheerleading squad?
‘I am a cheerleader. Now everybody always wants me to do cheers. It’s so funny.
Cheerleading is so much fun, especially at your school because you get such a sense of school spirit and you’re proud of your school. I love that. I’m the one that’s on top of the (human) pyramid; I’m the flyer, so that’s fun too.’
The 14 year old actress has had an incredible career, from her first role at five in a Tide commercial to her current star turn in The Secret Life of Bees (I haven’t seen the film yet but read the book and loved it - be sure to check it out).
With her latest stint as a cheerleader, Dakota is living Friday Night Lights and if the producers of Heroes ever need a replacement for Hayden Panetierre, they’ll know who to call.
