Here’s Your Favorite Child Star Who are All Grown up, Then&Now

2. Dakota Fanning

Dakota Fanning, unlike many child stars, has broken the mold and successfully transitioned into adult stardom. In the age of 5, she acted in her first commercial - a commercial about washing powder Tide. This charming little girl who ecstatically stained her dress was destined to be a big star.

She has made her acting debut at the age of six and became famous for the lead in the drama I am sam, which won her the nomination of Screen Actors Guild award. She became the youngest actress in the history who received this award. Be it a drama, action, suspense, or even model, Fanning can do it all — and she's showing no signs of slowing down. She’s actually just been working her tail off for more than 20 years. Still, the stunning transformation of Dakota Fanning over the years proves that the former child star has only gotten more talented and formidable as the years have gone on.
