Elizabeth Olsen doesn’t seem to like being nicknamed the ‘internet’s mother’

Elizabeth Olsen doesn’t seem to like the new “mom” nickname the internet has given her.

The 34-year-old Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness star spoke to Entertainment tonight about the unusual nickname on Wednesday while attending the LA premiere of her new limited series Love & Death.

‘I think it’s very strange. Mothers are great, I think. It makes me feel, old? Because I think the people who say it must be young? Like I’m not sure,’ Elizabeth said.

Elizabeth was dubbed “the mother of the internet” a while back, but the phrase gained popularity after she starred at this year’s Oscars with Pedro Pascal, aka the “father of the internet.”

Olsen appeared to be laughing and crying as she was asked about the title saying, “I really don’t get it.” My friends have tried to explain to me that it is a good thing. Don’t know.’

Not a fan: Elizabeth Olsen didn’t seem to understand why the internet had given her the ‘very strange’ nickname when she spoke to ET on the red carpet of her new HBO series Love & Death

She also expressed her willingness to work with Pedro in the future and praised him saying, “I would really like to work with Pedro, we’ve been friends for a long time and I was happy to stand there with it.’

The nickname could possibly have come about because her iconic character Wanda/Scarlet Witch became fixated on the idea of ​​becoming a mother after dreaming about her children from Earth-838 and desperately wanting the children she saw in her dreams .

Elizabeth’s new limited HBO show Love & Death is a true crime series based on the gruesome murder of Betty Gore, a Texas housewife played by Lily Rabe, whose husband had an affair with her killer, friend and neighbor Candy Montgomery (Olsen). ).

Gore’s cheating husband is played by Kirsten Dunst’s husband, Jesse Plemons, and the series has received solid reviews from critics so far.

The first trailer for Love & Death dropped in February and showed Olsen fully in the role of a churchgoing mom who would eventually pick up an ax and kill her boyfriend in 1980.

“It kind of bothers me,” Olsen says in the trailer. “I’ve done everything a woman should do. The house, the meals… Where’s the reward?’

Written by David E. Kelley, the show is another chilling adaptation of the disturbing tale of Candy Montgomery, played by Jessica Biel last year on the titular Hulu series Candy.

Elizabeth is the younger sister of the Olsen Twins, who rose to fame when they were kids after playing Michelle Tanner on the hit comedy show Full House.
