LOS ANGELES: Hollywood actress Elizabeth Olsen says she once thought of changing her surname and distance herself from the success of her family. “It was insanity. There were times when my sisters would always be spotted and I would be in the car with them and it would freak me out. It has helped me navigate how I want to approach my career,” said the actress, whose older sisters are Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen. She added that she “always had this need to prove myself to everyone around me that I work really hard,” adding: “I couldn’t walk in a room without everyone already having an opinion.” Elizabeth opened up om the fears of nepotism. “The thing about nepotism is the fear that you don’t earn or deserve the work. When I was a little girl I thought if I’m gonna be an actress I’m going to go by Elizabeth Chase, which is my middle name. And then, once I started working, I was like, ‘I love my family, I like my name, I love my sisters. Why would I be so ashamed of that?’ It’s fine now,” Elizabeth said.
