Elizabeth Olsen has suggested that growing up as the younger sibling to famous child stars Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen was "abnormal".
The Martha Marcy May Marlene actress opened up about her childhood in a recent interview with Asos.
"I did lead a very charmed life growing up, but I was aware of the things that were abnormal," Elizabeth explained. "The only time I flew first-class as a kid was when my sisters did these cruises called 'Sail With The Stars'. They were the main event... other than that, never."
Elizabeth went to reveal that she has gown very close to sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley as she's grown older.
"Mary-Kate and Ashley have celebrated my birthday with me every year since I've been in New York, my last four birthdays, and it's been so special," she said. "When you have a fight with a boyfriend or a friend, or whatever, they're here."
Last year, Elizabeth admitted that constantly being compared to Mary-Kate and Ashley has been difficult at times.
Elizabeth co-stars with Jane Fonda and Catherine Keener in the upcoming film Peace, Love, & Misunderstanding.
