Elizabeth Olsen calls childhood with Mary-Kate and Ashley “chaotic”

Elizabeth Olsen is once again making headlines not for a new film or red-carpet moment, but for a rare glimpse into her life growing up with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.

Despite building a powerhouse career of her own with hits like Avengers, Love & Death, and WandaVision, it’s her connection to the famously private Olsen twins that continues to fascinate fans.

The siblings rarely speak about each other publicly, which made Elizabeth’s latest comments even more surprising.

In a new interview with The Times, the 36-year-old opened up about her childhood and the support she received from her older sisters.

“My sisters were forced to watch all my plays my whole life and go to my dance performances,” she said. “We’re just a supportive family.”

Olsen grew up as the youngest of four children and described their home as “pretty chaotic,” adding, “We were all born within five years.”

It’s not the first time she’s spoken affectionately about Mary-Kate and Ashley. In a 2022 interview with Harper’s Bazaar, she called having twin sisters an “advantage.”

“I felt very clear about how I was going to navigate lots of things because of watching them. I also felt very protected,” she explained.

Reflecting on their unique bond, she added: “There’s something that I’ll never experience of that connection, but I feel lucky to be witness to it… If I was spoiled by one, the other wanted to match it. I loved it.”
