Elle Fanning Recalls Close Call With Michelle Pfeiffer During Vegas Filming

During her appearance on The Tonight Show on Thursday (June 11), 28-year-old Elle Fanning opened up about an unexpected incident that unfolded while shooting the fifth episode of her Apple TV series "Margo's Got Money Troubles."

The actress was reminiscing about a bachelorette party sequence filmed in Las Vegas that involved a pink stretch limousine and some playful headwear. "We had our heads out of the sunroof, and we're driving down the strip," Fanning explained, describing what she considered a bucket-list moment neither she nor Pfeiffer had experienced before.

The scene took an abrupt turn when law enforcement sirens appeared behind them. Fanning and Pfeiffer initially remained in character, assuming the police presence was part of the production. "We thought, 'This is surely not for us,'" Fanning recalled, noting they had a police escort arranged for the shoot.

Their assumption quickly proved wrong. "And then they're like, 'No! Get down! Get down! We will arrest you!'" Fanning recounted. The officers informed them that protruding from a sunroof is no longer permitted, despite the production team having secured clearance for the scene. The police officer handling the stop simply wasn't aware of the filming authorization.

"We almost got arrested," Fanning said. "I've never been arrested before."

The first season of "Margo's Got Money Troubles" has already wrapped on Apple TV and has been greenlit for a second season.
