Mary-Kate And Ashley Olsen Quit Acting At 25 !

It took a couple decades of exposure, but it's finally happened: Ashley Olsen has cured herself of the acting bug!

"I don't have to be a pretty face," Ashley told UK's Elle Magazine. "I've done that, but now it's important and liberating to be on the other side of the lens. I don't like to be the center of attention anymore."

"We are perfectionists," Ashley stated. "We've always wanted to be closely involved with everything, totally hands on.That's why it works. If we step away, it stops working. I know it sounds controlling, but that's how it has to be."

"We're attracted to different things, but we arrive at the same place," Ashley revealed. "I think we're probably unaware of how intuitive it might seem from the outside. It's basically one thought process shared between two people."

Ashley Olsen says she and her twin sister Mary-Kate are unlikely to ever act again.

Ashley, just 25-years-old, broke the news to UK’s Elle magazine, saying:

    "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. It just felt right to move away" Ashley adds.

And what the Olsen twins advice to people who want to hit it big in Hollywood?

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen emphasize the importance of staying "grounded" when it comes to making it in Hollywood!

Now that the acting bug has left them, the question remains: "What the Olsen Twins are up to?"

It has to be mentioned that Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are the brains behind multiple fashion lines. So, they have decided that from now on they will focus on fashion!

What do you think of the Olsen twins' decision to quit acting at a very young age and changed their career paths? Do you prefer them to be on the spotlight as actresses or behind the lens as fashion designers?
