Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen to Quit Acting?
Fans of the television show, "Full House", won't be likely to expect a cast reunion or a comeback show because their two main leads, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, are quitting acting.
Apparently with their popular fashion line, these two want to be all hands on which would basically mean there would be no room for acting.
The fashionable twins grace the double cover of Elle UK, both looking lovelier than ever. Ashley and Mary-Kate open up about acting, their business and growing up in the center of the spotlight.
Though a few would expect them to be starving for attention due to the fact that they've been under the scrutinizing eye of the public at the ripe age of 6, both actresses prove to be the opposite.
"I don't have to be a pretty face. I've done that, but now it's important and liberating to be on the other side of the lens. I don't like to be the center of attention anymore," shares Ashley in the interview with Elle UK.
Both 25-year olds wish to focus more on their fashion careers. With their businesses on the boom, it's no wonder why they'd rather design clothes and attend runway shows than make films. Ashley and Mary-Kate have decided to leave the spotlight of acting to their younger sister, Elizabeth Olsen, who is by far equally talented as the twins.
The twins are currently involved with their fashion lines namely Elizabeth and James, Olsenböye and The Row.
"We are perfectionists," says Ashley. "We've always wanted to be closely involved with everything, totally hands on-that's why it works. If we step away, it stops working. I know it sounds controlling, but that's how it has to be."
Despite being twins, the two have slightly different plans in regards to their career. Ashley may have completely stopped from making films but Mary-Kate still pursued a few of which includes her latest appearance in the film, "Beastly" alongside Vanessa Hudgens. Nevertheless, the two are complete mirrored images of each other.
"We're attracted to different things, but we arrive at the same place," says Ashley. "I think we're probably unaware of how intuitive it might seem from the outside. It's basically one thought process shared between two people."
"Separate side projects are one thing, but we work better as a team," added Mary-Kate.
With that said, it might be a while before these two would pursue another film which leaves all the limelight on their younger sister, Elizabeth Olsen who is set to star in whole range of films this 2012.
