Elizabeth once revealed that growing up with her famous sisters was not the main reason why she wanted to pursue an acting career, but thanks to actress Michelle Pfeiffer. “My heart has never throbbed because of an idol or a band, but it happened when I saw Michelle Pfeiffer.

“She constantly surprises me,” said Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen’s co-star in “Captain America: Civil War.” During filming, we had dinner together, drank wine and talked many times. She is smart, strong-willed and an old soul.”
Hollywood is “a peculiar circus”
An Allure reporter had an interview and expressed surprise when seeing Elizabeth Olsen’s comfort and simplicity in a sailor shirt, high hair tie, and traveling by car. The magazine wrote: “What makes Olsen attractive is that she has wonderful gaps: beautiful but not too scary, kind but not boring, smart but not knowing everything. Being famous for her is something that is about respect. She took a different path than other unusual celebrities.
Witnessing the lives of her two famous twin sisters, especially their private lives, often appearing on the front pages of tabloids, Elizabeth Olsen is vigilant about preserving privacy. “I don’t go to a certain restaurant because I don’t want to be photographed,” she said.
The public also does not see her on social networks such as Snapchat and Twitter. Although Olsen did not confirm or deny having an Instagram account, she said: “I don’t have to spend five minutes a day trying to take a good photo. I’m distracted by other stupid things, not thinking about Instagram.”
Other stupid distractions include cocktail parties for Hollywood newcomers, which she calls “a strange circus.” “I’ll find a sofa in a corner somewhere,” “I’m allergic to small talk,” Olsen said. The Norwegian-born beauty once shared with MC James Corden on “The Late Show” about an awkward conversation with Taylor Swift at a party when she tried to be “cute and funny” and tried to mention the title of the song. Some song by Taylor Swift. “It’s still terrifying to me. I didn’t realize it was the most talked about thing I’ve ever done in my life.”
Talking about appearing on the red carpet, the memory that Olsen remembers most is during fashion week in Los Angeles. Elizabeth Olsen got lost and arrived late to the Saint Laurent Fashion Show, so security forces did not let her in. But what she was most sad about was that Clay Hawkins, the friend who did her hair for this show, didn’t bother to take pictures of her to put in his portfolio.

She was born into a family with a mother of English descent and a father of Norwegian descent. Elizabeth Olsen studied ballet and singing since childhood. At school, she used another name, Elizabeth Chase, to avoid the attention of her famous twin sisters.
It is not known exactly when Elizabeth Olsen became famous, from 1994 when she appeared as the “little girl in the car” on her sister’s show “How The West Was Fun”, when her name became the name of the fashion brand. of her two famous twin sisters or thanks to her first two film projects when she was 21… But Elizabeth Olsen has affirmed more than once: “I’m grateful that I didn’t start my career until I was old enough. I’m confident enough to know who I am” or “I’m glad I didn’t get this role (in the movie “Spy Kids”) because I didn’t want to be a child actor.”
Although she studied acting since childhood, in 2004, Elizabeth decided to leave her film career when media scrutiny focused on Mary-Kate’s anorexia. “That’s when I realized the media was abusing my sisters. I thought I didn’t want to be in this industry. They were 18 years old and what happened to my sister’s life was too much to bear. They followed us shopping, and Mary-Kate and Ashley almost got into a car crash because of the paparazzi. I don’t want to be a part of it,” Elizabeth once shared with Nylon magazine.
