There are some actors who don’t like to watch their films, some like to just attend the premiere and never look back at it and then there’s actorElizabeth Olsen!The actor recently revealed that she never saw her recent releaseDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnessfor a rather unusual reason.
In a recent chat withJimmy FallononThe Tonight Show, Olsen revealed that she refused to watch watermarked screener Disney sent her after she missed the movie premiere due to a cold. The actor told Fallon,
I’m not one of those [actors who doesn’t watch her own movies]. I’m one of those people who likes to study something so I can figure out how to make it better. But I had a cold when we had the premiere and I didn’t want to sit through it. And so I asked them to send a copy so I could watch it, and it had my name on it and it had the time that I was watching it, and I didn’t want to watch it like that.
Explaining herself, she further added, “My name was on it and the exact time and date. It’s just distracting.” These kinds of screeners are the type sent out to press before a film or television show is released, and when Fallon explained to her that Marvel Studios watermark their screeners “in case you sell it illegally”, an amused Olsen was quick to respond, “How do you even do that? Who do you even send it to? How do you even record it on a computer?”
