Elizabeth Olsen’s One On-Set No-Go: Helicopter Rides Are Off the Table
OPINION: This article may contain commentary which reflects the author's opinion.
Elizabeth Olsen, known for her fearless roles—most notably as Scarlet Witch in the Marvel universe—recently revealed there’s one thing she absolutely refuses to do again on set: ride a helicopter.
In a candid interview with The Guardian, just weeks before her film His Three Daughters hit public screenings, Olsen opened up about her deep-seated fear. Though she’s no stranger to high-stakes action scenes, Olsen admitted she’s terrified of rollercoasters and dreaded her very first helicopter flight. After spending 45 harrowing minutes in the air, she thought she was going to die and made a firm vow: “It was brutal … I hated it so much. … I’ll never do it again.”
Despite her on-screen bravery and intense stunt work, this aerial experience is a hard no for Olsen, proving even Hollywood’s toughest stars have their limits.
