Elizabeth Olsen recently shared insights about her upbringing in a supportive household, highlighting her family’s influence during an interview published by The Times of London. As the youngest sibling, Olsen discussed growing up alongside her sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who became household names as toddlers through their roles on “Full House” and subsequent film and television projects.
Growing Up Surrounded by Fame and Chaos
Olsen described her childhood as “pretty chaotic,” a likely outcome given the Olsen twins’ early entry into show business. With her sisters constantly in the spotlight, Elizabeth often performed in plays and dance recitals, which, according to her, the twins were required to attend. This dynamic showcased not just the hectic nature of their household, but also the ways in which her entire family rallied around one another’s interests.
No Career Advice, Just Consistent Encouragement
When asked specifically whether Mary-Kate and Ashley ever shared advice regarding her own work in the industry, Elizabeth Olsen emphasized the importance of general support rather than direct guidance.
We’re just a supportive family. It feels irrelevant to talk about it after 15 years of working.
