Elizabeth Olsen has never been one to shy away from baring it all on the big screen, as long as the role demands it.
In a candid interview, she delves into her decision to disrobe for certain film roles, finding inspiration in the boldness of renowned actresses like Kate Winslet and Cate Blanchett.
Recalling her admiration for Kate Winslet and Cate Blanchett's audacious N- scenes, Elizabeth Olsen reflects on how their fearless performances reassured her about the path she chose. She shared, "I love Kate Winslet and Cate Blanchett. I remember watching 'Holy Smoke' and thinking that it was so reassuring to see a young Kate doing something that was so bold in so many ways." This newfound confidence empowered her to embrace nudity in her own work, understanding that it didn't have to be detrimental to her career, even though some of her close ones had reservations about it.
Elizabeth Olsen further clarifies her perspective on nudity in film. She explains that while a certain voyeuristic quality may be essential for a role, she doesn't feel the need to be N- in a gratuitous manner. She emphasizes that you'll never find her in a bikini-clad beauty shot on a beach because it's a character she has no intention of playing.
While the cover shoot for The Edit showcases Elizabeth Olsen in bohemian-style ensembles by Etro, Valentino, and Emilio Pucci, the actress also opens up about her upbringing alongside her famous older sisters, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. She reveres them as her most significant sources of inspiration, crediting them for their dedication and the valuable lesson that pursuing one's passion with hard work is the key to success.
Elizabeth Olsen reflects on her career and her determination to remain unfazed by the jaded perspective often associated with Hollywood. She stresses her commitment to maintaining curiosity, recognizing her luck and good fortune, and cherishing the opportunity to make a living out of her passion.
One of Elizabeth's current passions is her role in the highly anticipated movie "Avengers: Age of Ultron." When asked about her experience, she humorously notes, "You don't say no to the Avengers." She describes the immense scale of the film, recounting the grandiose production that transformed Italian towns into war-torn settings and an old police academy in North London into a battleground. Her description of the chaotic set, complete with real explosions and a man in a onesie shooting things, leaves her in laughter, capturing the exhilarating, larger-than-life experience of being part of the Avengers team.
