Elizabeth Olsen doesn’t often comment about older sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley, but this week sang high praises of the close bond and connection the twins share.

Speaking on Today with Jenna & Friends on March 25, Olsen said, “I also really admire the partnership that [Mary-Kate and Ashley] have and don’t compete with it, in a way. It’s something different.”

“It’s a really interesting thing to watch,” she added, per People. “I admire it. It’s a different kind of connection.”

Olsen is one of six siblings, she told host Jenna Bush Hager and guest co-host Barbara Bush, who is Bush Hager’s twin sister. Olsen is the youngest, and told the Bush twins that “I loved it, especially being the baby. I really enjoyed it.”

Though she admires Mary-Kate and Ashley, Olsen said she was nervous about nepotism that could come with entering the entertainment industry as the younger sister of the most famous twins in the world at the time (before they were designers for The Row, lest we forget, the twins were actresses, appearing on Full House and numerous other projects). She said she considered using her middle name, Chase, when she became an actress, telling Glamour U.K., “I thought, ‘I don’t want to be associated with [Mary-Kate and Ashley] for some reason.’ I guess I understood what nepotism was like inherently as a 10-year old.”

“I don’t know if I knew the word, but there is some sort of association of not earning something that I think bothered me at a very young age,” she continued. She added that the realization “had to do with [her] own insecurities.”

Olsen is less than three years younger than her older twin sisters, and because of their proximity in age, she told Harper’s Bazaar that they always felt like somewhat of a trio: “There’s something that I’ll never experience of that connection, but I feel lucky to be witness to it,” Olsen said. “I actually think it’s an amazing feeling, being the younger sibling to twin sisters. If I was spoiled by one, the other wanted to match it. I loved it.”

“I always felt that having older twin sisters was an advantage,” Olsen added. “I felt very clear about how I was going to navigate lots of things because of watching them. I also felt very protected.”
