Elizabeth graces the cover of the May issue of Fashion magazine, available on newsstands April 20, 2015.
FASHION MAGAZINE – Out of the long list of talented, young and beautiful stars in Hollywood, Elizabeth Olsen stands as a lone wolf. A self-described “old soul,” the 26-year-old actress studies Chekhov and Stanislavsky, avoids TMZ at all costs and has managed to opt out of all social media channels for fear of losing focus (Olsen has no Twitter, Facebook or Instagram accounts). All this makes her the perfect choice to grace FASHION’s May cover as the issue aims to celebrate the intelligence and style of women of all ages (make sure to also check out exclusive profiles with Joni Mitchell, Gigi Hadid, Kim Gordon and Julianne Moore).
Photographed and interviewed in New York City, Olsen’s feature with FASHION—which will be on newsstands on April 20—covers her generational concerns, her upcoming role in Avengers: Age of Ultron and the upcoming Hank Williams biopic, I See The Light. Here’s a sneak peak of Olsen’s conversation with FASHION’s features editor, Elio Iannacci.
On the way people her age are depicted on TV and film:
“It is annoying to me the way my generation is written about—that we are all entitled slackers and hackers.”On the super fierceness of her character—The Scarlet Witch—in Avengers: Age of Ultron:
“She’s grounded and centered because she’s always receiving information—she knows everyone’s everything because of her telekinesis. She has access to the past, the present, the future and parallel universes—she can connect with all of them.”
