Ashley Olsen is unlikely to ever act again. The 25-year-old star - who made her acting debut aged just nine months alongside her twin Mary-Kate in ‘Full House’ - hasn’t appeared in a film since 2004’s ‘New York Minute’ and has no plans to return in front of the camera. She said: ‘’We worked non-stop until we were 18. Then we decided to take a break and go to school - and that was when we decided to question whether we would carry on in entertainment. It was time to step behind the process. I wanted to work on other things. It doesn’t mean I’m not interested in Hollywood, I like the way it operates and the people who are involved and the sense of possibility.
But if I ever do get back in, it’s not going to be as an actress.’’
Though Mary-Kate has made some film and TV appearances since ‘New York minute’ - including an eight-episode stint in ‘Weeds’ - she also thinks it ‘’felt right’’ to step away from acting.
She said: ‘’It just felt right to move away.’’ –ESP
