5. ASHLEY WAS RECENTLY SPOTTED WITH JONAH HILL
Ashley Olson has been known for having a thing for older guys like her sister, Mary-Kate. At one point in time, she was known to be dating Johnny Depp, someone 23-years-older than her. She was recently seen out with 64-year-old Richard Sachs, though the couple has reportedly split since then. It’s a big age difference between the couple, and almost doubles the difference between her sister and her husband.
She’s reportedly single, though she has been spotted with a mystery man as well as actor Jonah Hill. The two are allegedly friends and have been since they went to high school together, growing up close in California.
They’ve been spotted together in New York a few times, so the reality of their situation is only known by the two. Some say that if you love someone truly madly deeply, age is just a number. When it comes to the Olsen twins, we can’t help but wonder if there might be some unresolved underlying issue for why these girls have a trend of dating men older than them. Ashley is notoriously private as well as her twin sister, so the juicy details about their romantic relationships are only known to the duo.
4. THEY NEVER SHOW EMOTION
As children, Michelle Tanner was one of the funniest little girls on TV. The twins eventually started doing other movies and shows, not being afraid to let their bubbly personalities shine behind the camera. They were known for being cute and funny, always wearing trendy clothes and popular among teens and kids.
The biggest criticism they get now that they’re older is that they lack any emotion at all. They rarely give interviews and stick mostly to the fashion world, so not being seen and heard as often as they used to automatically makes fans perceive them as reclusive.
The girls are very private from the media, and having grown up in front of the cameras has likely caused them to seek their privacy again. They were, and probably still are in most places, the most famous twins. That’s a lot of pressure for two young girls, so we don’t blame them for not always flashing smiles.
It’s still rare to see the girls even smile, unless it’s a candid shot, of course. It could be that they don’t care about putting on fake smiles, or it could be in the name of fashion.
3. MARY-KATE WAS CLOSE TO HEATH LEDGER
A source close to Mary-Kate stated that before Heath Ledger’s death, "Mary-Kate and Heath were casually dating. They were hooking up, but neither was particularly interested in making it exclusive."
The couple had never once been spotted together and even less was known about their relationship. She was never mentioned in anything after his death, and it was unclear what her involvement in his life really was. What makes it strange, however, is that the person who found Heath Ledger’s body called Mary-Kate even before they called 911.
When it came to the investigation to his death and how he got the pills that killed him, Mary-Kate refused to cooperate unless she was granted immunity. Some stated that this proved she was guilty, but many would advise that immunity is always something to ask for just in case information gets twisted. She hasn’t commented on the incident and a decade later, nothing more is known about her involvement in his death. The twins have been accused of being under the influence because of how much they've changed since childhood. Ashley fought back at those claims by suing a newspaper that stated she was caught in a scandal.
2. THEIR YOUNGER SISTER DOESN'T MIND THE SPOTLIGHT
The twins are known for being siblings, and what many people overlook is that they have more siblings than just each other. The twins don’t have any other twins as siblings, but they do have a sister, Elizabeth Olson, who’s known for being an actress. She is much more open and gives appearances and interviews more often as well. She stated that she got some good advice from her big sisters and that they told her: "I was not caring what I was saying [in interviews] because I’d assumed no one would read it. That’s when we’d have conversations. [Mary-Kate and Ashley] would say,
'You know, even if you don't think anyone's going to read this article, someone might pull the quote later [for something else]. It's all part of how you hope someone interprets you and how they frame who you are and the work you do.' They're very tight-lipped — notoriously so."
She still gets the same anxieties about how the media might frame her that her sisters do, stating, “I still deal with so many anxieties of how I come across. I'll go home at night, spinning with a guilt complex of, 'Did I say something stupid to that person who I respect? Do they think I'm a freak?' I don't want to think like that anymore."
1. MARY-KATE ENJOYS HER ALONE TIME
Mary-Kate has apparently stated that she enjoys walking around her house without clothes on. Some of us do that, but usually when it’s just to grab something quick from the dryer or if we forgot to bring a towel to the bathroom. She said in an interview: “I run around my house naked with heels all the time. It’s so funny. All my friends will tell you I love running around in kimonos and jewelry or naked with jewelry.”
Mary Kate takes it to a bit of a strange level by stating that she does it while wearing jewelry and high heels. This was stated in an interview she did in a decade ago, however, so who knows if that has still held up. She looks at clothes all day, so it makes sense she’d want to take a break from them every now and again.
The girls made a rare TV appearance on Ellen, agreeing to play a game with her where they tell if the behavior Ellen described was more like Ashley or Mary-Kate. At one point, Ellen asks who would survive better on Naked and Afraid, and the girls stated that they weren’t even sure what that show was! It’s clear now that Mary-Kate would likely win that battle, having had much practice walking around in her birthday suit.
