    Elizabeth Olsen doesn't want the public to know her personality "all that well"

    The 36-year-old actress previously took a break from Instagram, before deciding that she would never return to the photo-sharing platform, and Elizabeth now admits that she doesn't want to share too much of her life with the public


    She told InStyle magazine: "If you put yourself out there, people think that you want them to come in. I think for me, I don't want anyone to know my personality all that well. Or identify me as someone who does a specific type of goofy trope video or something on Instagram once a month.

    "I don't want people to associate me with a brand; I want people to watch a movie and see me as a character. I think there are people who do both beautifully. I don't think it means that someone can't be online and also a great actor."

    Despite this, Elizabeth refutes that idea that she's "mysterious".

    The Hollywood star explained: "I'm not mysterious. I think I'm private in certain aspects, but I say too much. I'm long-winded. And circuitous."

    Elizabeth always knew that she wanted to become an actress - but she wasn't in a rush to achieve her goal.

    She said: "I thought I wanted to be a child actor, but then my ballet teacher wouldn't put me in The Nutcracker because I'd missed so many rehearsals. And that was the only Nutcracker I wasn't in my whole life because I was auditioning for TV or film or whatever.

    "I wanted to have the career I have now, but I didn't need to do it until later. I wanted to do recess with my friends."

    Elizabeth previously admitted that she feels her acting is improving with every passing year.

    The movie star told The Talks: "I feel more capable. And I do think there's something to be said about a certain amount of hours spent doing anything, practising anything or doing any kind of job that you learn from. I think the amount of hours that you rack up, that does affect growth. I just hope that continues."
