Elizabeth Olsen credits Kate Winslet for inspiring her to embrace on-screen nu**ty, emphasizing that it doesn't have to be career-ending.
In an interview with Net-A-Porter, Olsen revealed that watching Winslet's bold performance in "Holy Smoke" reassured her about taking risks in her own career.
Reflecting on her journey, Olsen admitted that while she now feels comfortable performing without clothes, her family initially expressed concerns. However, she emphasized that she never feels pressured to appear N- for a role and understands and respects the choices of actresses who decide against it.
Despite her love for performing without clothes, Olsen expressed a desire to avoid becoming a cautionary tale for young actors. She stated that she enjoys the voyeuristic quality of certain roles but clarified that she will never play characters solely for beauty shots in bikinis on the beach.
In addition to Kate Winslet, Olsen also finds inspiration in veteran actor Jane Fonda, who offers valuable life advice. Discussing her experience working on "Avengers: Age of Ultron," Olsen expressed awe at the scale of the production and the immersive nature of the filming process. She described the intricate set designs, real explosions, and the surreal experience of acting alongside a person in a onesie shooting things.
Olsen also drew inspiration from her elder sisters, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who transitioned from child stars to successful fashion designers. She admired their diligence and learned from them that pursuing one's passion and working hard can lead to success in any chosen field.
Overall, Elizabeth Olsen's perspective on N- in the film has been positively influenced by Kate Winslet's bold performances, allowing her to embrace risks and explore her craft more freely.
