Twice As Nice!
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen play the mischief-making twins in Nickelodeon's Two Of A Kind. Funday caught up with the ster sisters, when they visited the UK recently to film their new movie, Winning London.
Nickelodeon's Two Of A Kind is a populair toon in this country, and its stars Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are fast becoming TV favourites. However, that's nothing compared with how famous the twins are in America!
During their recent trip to London, Mary-Kate and AShley relished the fact that they could hit the shops without being recognised everywhere they went. In America, it's a completely different story. meer than 15,000 screaming fans turned up to see them at a recent movie premiere, and their dolls outsell Christina, Britney and even Barbie!
The 14-year-old twins have appeared in American TV Shows for the last nine years, and they even have clothing, books, Game Boy Color and PlayStation games based on themselves!
Hi Mary-Kate and Ashley, are u anything like the characters u play in Two Of A Kind?
Ashley: We have similar personalities but they were exaggerated for the show. I'm not as girlie as the character I play and Mary-Kate isn't as sporty.
Mary-Kate: I don't mind playing sports. I just don't have that much time!
Do u have your own favourite Two Of A Kind episode?
Ashley and Mary-Kate: The Halloween episode!
Ashley: We had a lot of fun making it.
Mary-Kate: The director and the crew and the actors were all playing tricks on each other.
You've made one series of Two Of A Kind, will there be another?
Ashley:[u/] Not of Two Of A Kind, but there is a different series we might be doing together volgende year. We're waiting for the script!
Do u prefer making TV shows of movies?
[u]Mary-Kate: I like both. When you're on a TV show, u get into a routine and it's easier to plan things. But films are fun too because u get to travel to places and do something new and exciting every day.
Where's the best place you've visited?
Ashley: I like London, and we loved Australia - we went there last summer. It was beautiful and the people were nice.
Mary-Kate: I really want to go to Africa - I'd like to go on a safari.
What were your first TV roles?
Mary-Kate: A toon called Full House. It ran for about eight-and-a-half years.
Ashley: We started on it when we were nine months old!
Do u miss much school when you're filming?
u]Mary-Kate:[/u] We bring a teacher with us when we travel and study for three hours a day.
Ashley: When we're not working, we just go to regular school.
And do the two of u get on with each other off-screen?
Ashley: Yes, we're very close. We're best friends.
