Elizabeth Olsen, despite her siblings Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s success as child stars, has expressed that she would prefer her own children to refrain from entering the entertainment industry until they come of age at 18.
In an interview with The Times, Elizabeth Olsen shared that she would not allow her future children to enter show business before reaching the age of 18. Despite having sisters who were child stars, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Elizabeth believes that their experiences were unique and she does not want her own children to follow in their footsteps. She explained that her decision is more a reflection of today’s culture and the complexities of being young, particularly with the added pressure of social media. Mary-Kate and Ashley retired from acting in 2012 and have since found success in the fashion industry. Elizabeth expressed that her sisters are taking a different path than the typical child actor and emphasized the importance of prioritizing a child’s development over pursuing a career in showbiz at a young age.
