Despite having two fashion lines with her sister and a large personal fortune, Mary-Kate Olsen admits she sometimes prefers to go without any clothes.
In the October issue of Harper’s Bazaar, Olsen says “I run around my house naked with heels all the time,” PEOPLE.com reports.
“It’s so funny. All my friends will tell you I love running around in kimonos and jewelry or naked with jewelry,” the former ‘Full House’ star adds.
The 21-year-old actress, who will soon be seen on the Showtime hit ‘Weeds,’ also talks about why photographers always catch her with a Starbucks drink.
“The only time people get photos of me is when I’m getting coffee, when I can’t sneak away from the camera,” Olsen explains.
On how she copes with all the attention she receives, Olsen believes it was her time as a child star that has prepared her.
“If I was a teenager and was thrown into the spotlight, I don’t know how I would react, to be honest.”
She also has a trick up her sleeve when it comes to dealing with the paparazzi.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Olsen reveals, “Every time I see paparazzi, I cover my face so they don’t get a picture, and I’m just “the mean person who doesn’t smile.”‘
From AP: NEW YORK – You see a tabloid shot of Mary-Kate Olsen and think, “Why does she look so depressed?” Well, there’s a reason for that. “I don’t want my picture taken,” the 21-year-old actress tells Entertainment Weekly magazine. “The only time I think it’s OK is at a red-carpet event or a photo shoot.
“So every time I see paparazzi, I cover my face so they don’t get a picture, and I’m just `the mean person who doesn’t smile.”‘
Olsen, whose waiflike figure has made her a target of media scrutiny, avoids public displays of attention.
“I would love to be able to swim in the ocean in Malibu,” she says. “But that is asking for a bikini shot. That’s inviting something that I don’t want to happen. I don’t need to be on a `Who’s Skinny, Who’s Fat, Who’s Looking Healthy, Who’s Not Eating?’ list.”
After a hiatus from acting, Olsen – who rose to fame on TV’s “Full House” in a shared role with twin sister Ashley – will portray an alluring Christian girl on Showtime’s “Weeds.” Her 10-episode arc begins Sept. 17.
She also returns to the big screen in “The Wackness,” co-starring Ben Kingsley. The film is slated for release next year.
“There’s definitely been times in my life when I just turned to people and said, `I’m done, this is too much for me, this is too overwhelming,”‘ Olsen says.
She’s in a healthy frame of mind these days.
“Mentally, physically, I feel pretty on top of my game right now,” Olsen says. “Talk to me next week, I don’t know. Today, I feel good.”
