Elle Fanning is sharing quite the story about filming her recent TV series Margo’s Got Money Troubles!
The 28-year-old actress appeared on The Tonight Show on Thursday (June 11), where she recalled filming the show in Las Vegas and nearly getting arrested with co-star Michelle Pfeiffer.
Why they almost got arrested
While filming for episode five, “Vegas. Baby,” Elle and Michelle filmed a bachelorette party, where they took a ride in a pink limo.
“In the show, we got a big pink stretch limo. And we have crude bachelorette regalia on our heads,” Elle shared, with the last part referring to the penis headbands they could be seen wearing in the scene.
“And so we had our heads out of the sunroof, and we’re driving down the strip and we’re going, ‘Yeah!’” she recalled, “I’ve never done that before. And I don’t think Michelle has, either. We’re like, ‘This is like a bucket-list thing.’”
However, things took a turn…
“And then we hear, behind us, we hear, ‘Ladies! Get down! Get down!’ And sirens are going, and we’re just staying in the scene. Like, we’re trying to be professional, you know? And we’re like, ‘This is surely not for us. Like, what’s this a part of?’”
She then noted that they did have a police escort while filming, so they thought what they were doing was fine.
“And then they’re like, ‘No! Get down! Get down! We will arrest you! We will arrest you!’” Elle continued. “And so then you see us kind of, we start to just go down, and then our little penis, you know, head things are, like, you know, right out the sunroof. And we’re crouching down, and they pulled us over because they said, ‘You’re not allowed to do this.’”
“Yeah. You can’t put your head out a sunroof anymore,” she added. “Thing of the past, yeah.”
“But we did get clearance,” she noted. “And that police officer, he wasn’t aware that we had been, that it was okay. But yeah, we almost got arrested. I’ve never [been] arrested before.”
