She underestimates herself so much. She believed for the longest time that her movies would be Marvel’s first flop. She has no idea how good she is. I’d let Wanda control me any day!

>”In some ways, it’s been interesting because there are Marvel fans, and so I’m on the other end of that, right? And it wasn’t really until I started, like, doubling down every year on the Dodgers for the last eight years — because it’s kind of a new thing, it wasn’t my whole childhood — that I started to realize how much I am a fan of it.”

I’m sure this hyperbole, but even then, it’s kind of sad.
MudandSmoke2025-11-06 01:22
I think perhaps she means sports fan. Lots of people are not fans of sports then something clicks into place for them.
urgasmic2025-11-06 01:26
i don't know how you got that from "i have no attachments" lol.
RihoSucks2025-11-06 01:30
No because Kimmel asks her if she was ever a fan of any toys like dolls as a kid.
Detective-Crashmore-2025-11-06 12:51
Grew up rich and famous in the shadow of her superstar sisters, I imagine a lot of people who grew up in showbiz think of other superstars as their peers, so they never had that "fan" mentality. People don't want to be fans of people they think they're on the same level as. "We don't get obsessed with media, the media gets obsessed with us" sort of deal.
Wrong-Vermicelli47232025-11-06 02:06
She might just mean she not a “fan” of anything, as she doesn’t participate in discussions and go crazy over it. I’m sure she has her favorite music and other likes. Also she did grow up with Mary Kate and Ashley so fandoms probably annoyed her.
ASIWYFA2025-11-06 02:18
I actually doubt that. I take her at she genuinely was never a fan of anything.
stealingyourpixels2025-11-06 02:31
Important to remember that fan is short for fanatic
AceofKnaves442025-11-06 01:28
She’s depressed. She’s just like me!
GranolaCola2025-11-06 02:42
Wow. Celebrities really are real people.
mrbaryonyx2025-11-06 01:37
It's actually not that weird to not actively participate in any "fandoms". I don't think she's saying she doesn't care about anything, just that she's not a "fan" of anything.
StoneGoldX2025-11-06 01:45
Her sisters literally had their own fandom. That has to fuck with reality.
snacksandsoda2025-11-06 02:02
Holy shit
Willz0932025-11-06 02:46
It’s so weird when you think about how famous Mary-Kate and Ashley were yet I’d argue that Elizabeth is now more famous than they ever were!
wordwords2025-11-06 03:00
For being a “twin” no less lol
Worthyness2025-11-06 03:33
her sisters are busy doing their fashion thing and being CEOs, so they don't care about being famous anymore.
marineman432025-11-06 03:42
That's actually a good question. I guess it depends on what metric we're using for fame. I think if we describe fame as "people recognize your name" and only that, MK and Ashley probably still have her beat. Basically, I think there are more people in the world who have heard of MK+Ashley Olsen but not Elizabeth, than people who have heard of Elizabeth Olsen but have no idea who MK+Ashley are.
But if it's more a question of who's more culturally relevant right now, obviously Elizabeth.
ChrisRevocateur2025-11-06 04:46
To the general public, there's "The Olsen Twins" and then there's "That lady that plays the witch in Marvel" (she has been getting more recognition for other roles recently though).
StoneGoldX2025-11-06 03:49
You could argue it, but you'd probably be wrong.
There was a time the Olson Twins were inescapable.
Melodic-Cycle39942025-11-06 02:56
That and also the dark side of it too if you think about the countdown of them turning 18 for example
tuxxer2025-11-06 05:54
Shit , I remember Leo Laporte got in on that when I was watching techtv
alphageek82025-11-06 04:18
Not just any fandom either, one that was full of creepy old dudes waiting for them to be legal. More than enough reason for a younger sister to be completely wary of.
geek_of_nature2025-11-06 03:56
Yeah it's just that she never had that one thing that full captured her interest the ways others have. There would have been films, shows, and books that she really liked, but just none that she got deeply invested into. Where she wasn't theorising about, and eagerly awaiting what came next.
SparklingSliver2025-11-06 02:13
How is that sad? Lol
I have my favorite music favorite show favorite book etc but I've never been a fan of the musician or the showmaker or the actor or the writer.
Fandom culture are weird
GranolaCola2025-11-06 02:43
> I have my favorite music favorite show favorite book etc
Then you’re a fan of something
SparklingSliver2025-11-06 02:52
It's clearly not the definition based on the context of this interview
brianamals2025-11-06 02:54
Fan is short for fanatic. So something can be your favorite of whatever it is without you necessarily being fanatic about it.
GranolaCola2025-11-06 03:32
Yes, but that’s not how it’s colloquially used
ChrisRevocateur2025-11-06 04:49
No.
Someone can have, say, The Office, as their favorite show. They watched it all the way through and then watch episodes again from time to time, but they don't buy Dunder Mifflin merch or talk to other Office fans on the subreddit or purchase the DVDs *and* the BluRays, etc.
gdex862025-11-06 15:42
I think there is a difference between enjoying something a lot and being a member of the fandom.
Like there are folks who enjoy the marvel movies, then there were the folks who on the day before endgame released went to a theater and watched a back to back to back run of the core MCU movies ending with infinity war ending at midnight and going right into endgame. Those "fans" which is worth emphasizing is derived from the word fanatic.
Olsen seems to realize the difference between someone who likes baseball and their team is the dodgers and folks who have the jerseys, get updates on training camp, and even engage in rituals because they think the juju will help the team. Then she "gets it" with the marvel fans felt with seeing this stuff on screen.
thegimboid2025-11-06 01:44
She's actually perfectly described my feelings in reverse.
I've never been able to get into any sports, but when I went to the opening night of Endgame and experienced the rush of a crowd holding its breath together in anticipation, the roars of the cheering as Cap picked up the hammer, or weeping together after Tony's snap - I realized afterward that I finally understood the group hype that sports fans must feel at a big game.
TheBlkDrStrange402025-11-06 03:03
Love this :)
ThisHatRightHere2025-11-06 03:43
And with sports every year is an entirely new storyline. Old characters mixing with new characters, teammates break up, former enemies team up, it’s great.
ChrisRevocateur2025-11-06 04:44
Ted Lasso does really good at illustrating this for us non-sports fans.
yzdaskullmonkey2025-11-06 05:08
And you're watching the story as it writes itself, and often, reality is stranger than fiction. Sports are great, and it took my nerdy ass decades to figure it out

yzdaskullmonkey2025-11-08 04:07
I think sports regularly break your heart, I mean most American leagues have ~30 teams and only one winner each year, but it makes the victory that much sweeter.
Airget-lamh2025-11-06 08:49
Oh, that's a beautiful way to describe it! I never got the hype around sports, but I think it just clicked for me. Better late than never.

I hope your team that you choose to root for finds success. Sports fandom will be brutal to the heart loll
QueenSparkleGlitter2025-11-06 12:46
I got this with f1. DTS was my segue into the world of formula 1, which now as a fan I realise is so so so much more than just DTS. But yeah there’s this sense of communal frustration and peak joy and a purpose that bands us together as a group of fanatics.
It’s a cult but worse lol.
troubleondemand2025-11-06 17:10

She always struck me as a humble yet very private person. Anytime I have ever seen her in a one on one talk (Hot Ones, red carpet interview, etc) she is very engaging yet I also get the sense that if it were up to her…she would do her filming then retreat to her home and/circle of people.
In any case, this was a cool mini-epiphany on her part.
Fickle-Ad-71242025-11-06 01:40
I think it stems from her watching her sisters deal with press from a very young age, it’s hard to imagine in todays climate but what the Olsen’s went through just wouldn’t fly today.
RipErRiley2025-11-06 01:54
For sure, that would track. Fame is certainly a double edged sword. I’m sure her sisters would be grateful from the rewards of it (they ended up making their own production company and such) but yes, the constant media stalkers is ugh…especially during their youth.
DowntownCelery5932025-11-06 03:11
We're her sisters quite famous back then
Fickle-Ad-71242025-11-06 03:22
In the 90’s? The Olsen twins? Yea, little bit haha
ChrisRevocateur2025-11-06 04:51
Little girls in the 90's had Barbie, My Little Pony, and The Olsen Twins.
RipErRiley2025-11-06 05:20
Full House was a popular sitcom in the late 80’s to mid 90’s. Plus the advent of those teen targeted magazines that hyped up child star “idols” in the 90’s (there were some around in the 80’s) just as these girls were growing up gave them a ton of publicity. Those magazines would fly off the shelves because fans would want to learn more about these similar aged celebs and cut out photos of their favorite celebs to hang on their bedroom walls.
All pre-internet days of course.
AnnaSweet882025-11-06 13:05
yeah, i think she had the rare opportunity of seeing fame happen to people she was close with, and it allowed her to determine what type of relationship she wanted to have with celebrity culture. i have such a deep respect for how she has become so famous and yet still so private
PhotoBonjour_bombs192025-11-06 05:33
She use to be active on Instagram I recall she used to show her garden and such. But of course some people had to ruin her on the internet and deleted her insta
RipErRiley2025-11-06 05:50
I know right?! Came out of her shell only for some fuckheads to ruin it.
NippleFlicks2025-11-06 11:41
I really miss those garden videos, especially as a novice gardener myself! So sad that people had to ruin it and bully her.
conquerlord2025-11-06 01:40
i definitely relate to this. experienced the same thing in the opposite direction. i spent the first 20ish years of my life not caring at all about sports, but being an avid comic book reader. once i picked a football team and started watching games consistently, something just clicked into place. it activates the same part of the brain i think.
watching past seasons of your favorite football team back when they were good is like the equivalent of reading the definitive run from the 1980s of your favorite character.

I remember she took a break from social media because people were demanding her for MCU content. Then when she came back she would go on about her day as normal and then be like "And for my Avengers fans..." and say something completely irrelevant and some of the fans would think she was being cryptic. She's hilarious.
