Wandavision's Elizabeth Olsen also appeared on the podcast Everything Iconic with Danny Pellegrino. She said that she and her older brother grew up on sets. She said, "It was just normal. It was never weird," She added, "When my brother and I would get picked up from school, that was our after-school care. It was really hanging around on set, so every once in a while, they'd ask us, 'So, do you guys want to be in this one? We'll put gum in your hair.' To me, it was never acting. It was silly and fun."
