Elizabeth Olsen thinks about mortality “all the time”.\n<\/p>\n
The 36-year-old actress plays a 90-year-old woman inside her own 30-something-year-old body in Eternity, the new fantasy romcom, and Elizabeth has explained how her latest movie has influenced her own approach to aging.\n<\/p>\n
She told The Hollywood Reporter: “I think about mortality all the time. But Eternity has actually made me think even more about how aging is such a privilege and how badly I would love to grow old.\n<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s something I\u2019d already been thinking about, because I wasn\u2019t lucky enough to meet more than one grandparent.\n<\/p>\n
“You just don\u2019t know if you are going to have that opportunity to grow old. You don\u2019t know when your time is going to come. But growing old is something that some of us are lucky to be able to do, and so I think more about how lucky we are if we do get to do it.”\n<\/p>\n
Elizabeth also revealed what attracted her to star in Eternity.\n<\/p>\n
The actress shared: “The script reminded me more of something my mother would\u2019ve shown me as a little girl. It reminded me of a funny older film that she would\u2019ve loved. And yet, at the same time, the writing is contemporary. There\u2019s this screwball element along with these universal truths and comforts that I thought was a nice opportunity.”\n<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Elizabeth recently revealed that she wants all of her movies to have a theatrical release.\n<\/p>\n
The actress is happy to make a movie for a streamer – but she always prefers to star in projects that have a theatrical release, too.\n<\/p>\n
She told InStyle magazine: “If a movie is made independently and only sells to a streamer, then fine. But I don\u2019t want to make something where [streaming is] the end-all.\n<\/p>\n
“I think it\u2019s important for people to gather as a community, to see other humans, be together in a space. That\u2019s why I like sports. I think it\u2019s really powerful for people to come together for something that they\u2019re excited about. We don\u2019t even audition in person anymore.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Elizabeth Olsen thinks about mortality “all the time”.
