Actress Elizabeth Olsen almost dropped acting career after she saw how fame changed her sisters and actresses Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's lives.

The "Godzilla" star was initially reluctant to carve out a career in Hollywood because she found her older twin sisters' level of fame overwhelming, reports contactmusic.com.

"Seeing what happened with my sisters always being followed around made me question whether this was what I wanted to do with my life. But it was always my choice," said Olsen.

"I was lucky to have an amazing drama teacher who encouraged me to pursue my dream. I love acting so much that I decided the trade-off would be worth it," added the 25-year-old.

Olsen was nervous before filming director Gareth Edwards' "Godzilla".

"I was nervous, but I realised that making a movie was the same whatever the budget. There was this group of is banded together doing scenes," she said.
