Going to a fast food chain for your tenth birthday is not unusual, but having one brought to you is not an everyday occurrence.
This is, however, how Dakota Fanning celebrated her turn into double figures when her co-star at the time, Robert De Niro, moved a restaurant to the "Hide And Seek" filming location.
The now 12-year-old star told Vanity Fair magazine, "Bob De Niro, everybody calls him Bob, gave me a surprise lunchtime party for my tenth birthday. They brought in my favorite restaurant. It's Panda Express. It's Chinese fast-food, but good."
The "I Am Sam" star continued, "They don't have one in New York City, so they brought it in special from New Jersey, and the cupcakes spelled out 'Happy Birthday Dakota.' I walked into lunch, and they had all these pamphlets with pandas on them. I turned round and there were all these Panda Express people with their spoons, ready to give me chicken and stuff, and I turn round and Bob's in this bloody raincoat from the film, saying, "'Happy Birthday.''
