In a recent interview with Parade magazine, Dakota Fanning admits that pop diva Britney Spears was her idol. The star of "The Secret Life of Bees" was also "excited" when she met the "Baby One More Time" songstress for the first time.

"I remember when I was very little my idol was Britney Spears. I had just come to California and that's just who I wanted to meet," reveals the 14-year-old girl. "So I was in a store and she walked in and my jaw just fell to the floor. I started like sweating. I could not believe that I was meeting her. She told me that I was very cute. And I lost it, I was so excited."

And now the teen actress seems to have another idol, President Barack Obama. "He inspires me. I think he is a really an inspirational human being. I just love to listen to him give speeches," the "Push" starlet says.
