Actress Elizabeth Olsen insists she doesn't have any "desire" to be famous and make money and felt it was a bit of a "cliche" when she revealed she wanted to join the film industry.

The "Avengers: Age of Ultron" actress also said she doesn't conform to any beauty ideals and would never care enough to figure out a healthy way of becoming "actress thin", reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"I wanted to be an actress, but felt it was such a cliche. I thought if I could make it more of a pretentious theatre experience, I could justify it. But celebrity and fame are so odd to me, I just don't have any desire for that at all," Olsen was quoted as saying by The Sunday Times' Style magazine.

"It's not like I'm super-confident but I exercise a lot because I've always been a dancer and an athlete. I think I'm a pretty thin person, but I'm definitely not actress thin, that's a whole other world! I don't know how to do that healthily. And I don't think I care to figure it out," the 27-year-old added.
