Olsen Twins' Full House Return: Why They Said No
1 Jul
Summary
- The Olsen twins declined to appear in the Netflix reboot Fuller House.
- They prefer to avoid public attention after a childhood in the spotlight.
- Mary-Kate and Ashley now run a successful luxury fashion house.
Jodie Sweetin has shed light on why Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen opted out of the Netflix reboot, Fuller House. The Olsen twins, who played Michelle Tanner throughout the original Full House run from 1987 to 1995, chose not to reprise their role in the 2016-2020 series. Sweetin indicated that the twins' decision stemmed from a desire to avoid the public spotlight after growing up in front of cameras from a very young age.
Having started their acting careers at just nine months old, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen later transitioned away from Hollywood. They founded their acclaimed luxury fashion house, The Row, in 2005. Mary-Kate currently serves as creative director, while Ashley holds the position of CEO. This venture reflects their shift in focus and their desire for a life less exposed to public scrutiny.
Sweetin clarified that the Olsen twins are not on bad terms with the Fuller House cast. Instead, she explained that the twins have a different comfort level with constant on-set life and public attention. Their significant success in the fashion industry means they no longer seek the limelight, a choice Sweetin fully understands given their intensely public childhood.
