Elle Fanning unusual talent scares ‘Predator: Badlands’ co-star

Elle Fanning freaked out her Predator: Badlands co-star Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi, with one-of-a-kind skills.

The Maleficent actress showed off her rare abilities in the film where she played a synthetic human (synth, for short) named Thia, who happens to be missing the lower half of her body.

"I do have double-jointed elbows, which is kind of shown off in a couple scenes, which I am proud of," she told the Entertainment Weekly, adding, "Dan [Trachtenberg, director] loved that."

In addition to that, Fanning can also keep her eyes open for a very long time without blinking.

“They did not do that with the computer. There's a scene where I have to look like I'm shut down, like a robot shut down, and I kept my eyes open. That was me,” she said.

The Great actress was joined by her co-star Schuster-Koloamatangi, who plays Dek, the film's young Predator. 

Outcast from his clan, Dek goes on a quest to prove himself with a treacherous first hunt on a remote alien planet, where he finds an unlikely ally in Thia.

During the interview he called his co-star a "hell of a performer," but admits to being freaked out by her more unusual talents.

"When she did her double-jointed thing, I remember looking over, I was sitting down just cooling off, and she was showing Dan, and I was looking like, wait, what the hell just happened?" he says, laughing.

"Did she just break her arms? It was very practical," he added.

In addition to Fanning and Schuster-Koloamatangi, the cast also includes Mike Homik and Alison Wright.

Predator: Badlands was released on November 7.
