Elizabeth Olsen never fails to make headlines, with the 36-year-old starring in major projects from Avengers and Love & Death, to WandaVision and The Assessment.
However, despite Olsen carving out her own successful career in Hollywood, it is her A-list family that gets the world talking the most, with the actress being the younger sister of child stars turned fashion designers, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.
And despite the interest around them, the A-list siblings remain extremely private, refraining from speaking about each other in public.

This week, however, Elizabeth Olsen made a rare comment about Mary-Kate and Ashley, as she reflected on growing up with her famous siblings and the support they gave her.
“[My sisters] were forced to watch all my plays my whole life and go to my dance performances,” the Avengers star explained in a recent interview with The Times. “We’re just a supportive family.”
And describing her childhood as “pretty chaotic”, Olsen continued: “I was the youngest of four. We were all born within five years.”

This is not the first time that Olsen has opened up about her famous siblings, recalling the advantages of having older twin sisters in a 2022 interview with Harper’s Bazaar.
“I always felt that having older twin sisters was an advantage,” she explained. “I felt very clear about how I was going to navigate lots of things because of watching them. I also felt very protected.”
And going on to talk about the unique twin dynamic, she continued: “There’s something that I’ll never experience of that connection, but I feel lucky to be witness to it.
“I actually think it’s an amazing feeling, being the younger sibling to twin sisters,” she added. “If I was spoiled by one, the other wanted to match it. I loved it.”
Well, this is lovely.
