Elizabeth Olsen admits she is not a pet person and says her publicist keeps telling her to stop saying it out loud
Host: “Daniel is obsessed with his dog Fox. Are you a pet person?”
Elizabeth: “No”
Host: “Me neither”
Elizabeth: “Really?”
Host: “No. It’s like a secret shame”
Elizabeth: “Yeah, I know. It’s a shame of mine too. Especially, I’ve done a puppy interview”
Host: “Buzzfeed?”
Elizabeth: “Yeah, Buzzfeed. They do the dog interview. And it was hard for me. I was like, these dogs are peeing everywhere and they smell”
Host: “We need to create a support group”
Elizabeth: “I look at my publicist right now who’s like Lizzie, stop telling people you’re not into animals. I didn’t enjoy it”
“I feel like I am judged immediately if I don’t want to hold or touch someone’s pet”
Host: “Yes, I know. And people showing me pictures of their cats and dogs, and I’m like, they’re very cute”
Elizabeth: “But also similarly, I don’t necessarily want to hold other people’s babies either”
“It’s not that I don’t find them sweet or they make me smile, but there’s a responsibility of me physically engaging. And it’s only until I feel a connection to the thing, whatever it is”
