In Elle UK’s April issue, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen tell the magazine that they are through with acting. In the interview, Ashley says, “I don’t have to be a pretty face. I’ve done that, but now it’s important and liberating to be on the other side of the lens. I don’t like to be the centre of attention anymore.” While fraternal twin Mary-Kate said, “Just felt right to move away (from the spotlight).” Ashley hasn’t appeared onscreen since ‘New York Minute’ in 2004 and Mary-Kate hasn’t done too much other than a short stint on ‘Weeds’ in 2007 and a small role in the ‘Beastly’ in 2011. Currently the sisters are working on their uber-successful clothing lines, Elizabeth & James and The Row. They have also said that they’ve wanted to have their own individual projects, but Mary-Kate told Elle UK, “nothing would ever split us up. Separate side projects are one thing, but we work better as a team.”
