Marvel star Elizabeth Olsen gave a rare insight into the dynamic with her sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley.
The 36-year-old actor is perhaps the most famous of the Olsen siblings thanks to her role as Wanda Maximoff in the MCU as well as starring in His Three Daughters and playing Candy Montgomery in HBO mini-series Love & Death.
However, in the not-so-distant past it was Elizabeth's older sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley, 38, who were the most famous Olsen's.

The twins were thrust into the spotlight thanks to their roles in US sitcom Full House before cementing their place as internationally famous actors with numerous Adventures of Mary-Kate and Ashley spin-offs.
Mary-Kate and Ashley would eventually step away from acting in the early 2000s, making their pivot into the world of high-fashion by launching their brand The Row.
So what's it like growing up as part of the Olsen brood? Well, we don't know too much as the sisters keep their personal lives pretty private, but Elizabeth did give us an insight in a recent episode of Today with Jenna & Friends.

Explaining that she was one of six children, the actor said of her sibling dynamic: "I loved it. Especially being the baby. I really enjoyed it."
She continued: "I also really admire the partnership that [Mary-Kate and Ashley] have and don't compete with it, in a way. It's something different."
The Avengers star previously expressed her joy at having twins for siblings in a 2022 interview with Harpers Bazaar, calling it an 'advantage'.
"I felt very clear about how I was going to navigate lots of things because of watching them. I also felt very protected," she explained. "I actually think it’s an amazing feeling, being the younger sibling to twin sisters.

"If I was spoiled by one, the other wanted to match it. I loved it."
As for the twins, Mary-Kate and Ashley shared a very rare update about their lives back in September 2024, telling Vogue that opening up a store for their fashion brand was a dream for them. "We've been looking for years," Ashely said.
When it comes to the twins' personal lives, very little is known. Mary-Kate was previously married to Olivier Sarkozy, which ended in divorce in 2021, while Ashley has been married to Louis Eisner since 2022, with the pair welcoming their first child together in August 2023.
Meanwhile, Elizabeth maintains a busy schedule as an actor, with upcoming projects including Marvel Zombies, Eternity and Panic Carefully.
