Almost 25 years later, one of many Olsen Twins‘ main males is reflecting on the problematic nature of their onscreen romance.
Austin Nichols, who starred alongside the twins in 2001’s Vacation within the Solar, recalled that his kiss scene with Mary-Kate Olsen “felt mistaken,” acknowledging that she and Ashley have been “youngsters” on the time.
“I used to be undoubtedly nervous as a result of Mary-Kate was 15, and I used to be, I believe, 18 or 19, or perhaps even 20,” he mentioned on the Drama Queens podcast. “I don’t keep in mind, however I used to be too outdated, and it felt bizarre, and it felt mistaken. And, you already know, I regarded very younger, so watching the film, I don’t assume you discover. I’m actual tall and thin and, like, nerdy, however I don’t assume you possibly can inform there’s a giant age distinction, however for my mind, was like, she’s 15, this isn’t, that is bizarre.”
Nichols continued, “So I keep in mind speaking to producers and I keep in mind speaking to even her dad was there and … I used to be like, ‘Is that this okay with you guys?’ And so they have been all like, ‘Oh, don’t fear about it.’ No person was you already know, no one appeared involved, and I used to be very involved, but it surely turned out high-quality. It was all very G-rated.”
In Vacation within the Solar, Mary-Kate and Ashley performed teen twins Madison and Alex, who accompany their dad and mom on trip to the Bahamas, the place they stumble up on a smuggling ring and discover romance.
The Olsens made their onscreen debut at 9 months outdated as Michelle Tanner on ABC’s Full Home. Earlier than they have been 18 that they had led 20 tasks together with the films How the West Was Enjoyable (1994), It Takes Two (1995), Billboard Dad (1998), Passport to Paris (1999), Our Lips Are Sealed (2000) and New York Minute (2004), in addition to the exhibits Two of a Form (1998-1999) and So Little Time (2001-2002).
“It’s a type of issues … the place, once you’re younger and also you’re making an attempt to make your profession as an actor and do all these cool tasks, when you may have this one that you simply really feel is perhaps a bit foolish, I needed to give that up years in the past as a result of individuals like it,” added Nichols.
