Fanning had nothing but praise for Jolie in an interview with Elle published last week.

"Being reunited with Angie is pretty cool. She's just a powerhouse on set; the way that she works, she just has this power and respect around her," the star said.

"She's a working woman and a mother, and that example is such a great one for me to see. You can do it all," she added.
