Recalling her upbringing, Elle said that the only summers she spent with her dad as a child were on movie sets, where she’d “just get lost in the shuffle.”
“If I ever messed up a shot, if I ever was talking, I would get in fucking trouble,” she said, noting that they didn’t connect as father and daughter until she was “much older.”
Talking more about her childhood, the 35-year-old also recalled being body-shamed by her dad and sent to a “fat camp” to lose weight.
