Elizabeth Olsen says she never got an offer to play Michelle Tanner on Netflix’s Fuller House.
“I never heard any of it, and I’m sure my agent, manager did neither,” Olsen told E! News Tuesday at the Los Angeles premiere of I Saw the Light. “I don’t know where that [rumor] started.”
The role was originally played by her two older sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen on Full House.
Back in January, John Stamos told Andy Cohen that production had approached Elizabeth’s agent about the role.
“I said, ‘Call the sister.’ And we talked to her agent and her agent was like, ‘Come on, she’s not going to do that,'” Stamos said on Cohen’s SiriusXM radio show. “But we did call her agent.”
Fuller House was renewed for a second season earlier this month. The series is a spinoff of the ’90s family sitcom, and centers around the widowed D.J. Tanner-Fuller (Candace Cameron Bure), who moves back home to raise her three sons with the help of her younger sister Stephanie Tanner (Jodie Sweetin) and best gal pal Kimmy Gibler (Andrea Barber).
