Jack Black's priceless reaction to Elle Fanning's praise

Jack Black shared a comical reaction to actress Elle Fanning's recent praise, where she described him as "the hottest man I've ever seen." In a video shared by Sony Pictures, Black humorously questioned if Fanning suffers from the opposite of body dysmorphia, suggesting she perceives him as a "gorgeous creature" despite his self-description as a "goblin gremlin." He lightheartedly diagnosed her with "goblin dysmorphia."

Despite his self-deprecating remarks, Black expressed gratitude for Fanning's compliment, though he admitted it was difficult to process. His co-star Paul Rudd, appearing alongside him, playfully supported Fanning's sentiments, assuring Black that he was adored by many. Rudd's endorsement added to the lighthearted exchange surrounding Fanning's unexpected admiration.

Black also directed a message to Fanning's boyfriend, Gus Wenner, clarifying that he meant no disrespect and appreciated the attention. Fanning had previously recounted an anecdote from the Golden Globes where her boyfriend introduced Black by saying, 'You're her hall pass,' with Fanning present.
