Elizabeth Olsen doesn't see the big deal in revealing some skin in front of the camera, but she hasn't always felt that way.
Olsen's outlook on being naked changed after she saw one special performance that validated in her own mind that being naked doesn't always have to be viewed in a negative light.
The celebrity who is responsible for making Olsen feel more comfortable about the idea is . . . Kate Winslet, who basically appears nude in more movies than she does wearing clothes.
"I remember watching 'Holy Smoke' and thinking that it was so reassuring to see a young Kate doing something that was so bold in so many ways," she told Net-A-Porter. "I thought to myself, 'Okay, so it doesn't destroy your career if you appear nude or take risks.'"
Those closest to Olsen expressed their concerns with her decision to expose her body on the big screen.
"Not everyone in my family and group of friends thought it was the best idea to be naked in a movie," she said.
"There are actresses, young and old, who have decided never to do that, and they become these examples people talk to you about. . . [But] there are times when I like to do it. You want that voyeuristic quality, but I never feel I have to be nude - and you won't ever see me in a beauty shot in a bikini on a beach. That's a character I will never play."
The 26-year-old "Avengers: Age of Ultron" star also mentioned that her sisters - Mary Kate and Ashley - are her biggest inspirations.
Olsen plays Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch, who has supernatural abilities, in the Marvel film, and she isn't too shy to brag about it.
"You don't say no to the 'Avengers.' I've never experienced anything like it in terms of scale," the actress revealed.
"We took over several towns in Italy and made them look like they were in the middle of a war. Then we moved the whole set to north London where we took over an old police academy. It was just insane: there were real explosions and you could feel the heat of them."
