  • "WandaVision" star Elizabeth Olsen said she doesn't get why she's called the internet's mom.

  • The actor said her friends have tried to explain it to her.

  • Olsen will next be seen as accused killer Candy Montgomery in HBO's "Love and Death."

In the last six months, the internet has feverishly lusted over Pedro Pascal as he acknowledged that fans see him as their "daddy" in the lead-up to "The Mandalorian" season three. But when he presented best animated short film with Elizabeth Olsen at the Oscars, many fans lost their mind seeing them together.

Fans have always had a lot of love for Olsen thanks to her role as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and "WandaVision" in particular helped crown her as the internet's mom.

However, the 34-year-old star is a little confused by the whole thing.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight at the "Love and Death" premiere, Olsen said that her friends have had to explain it to her.

Olsen said: "I think it's very odd. I really don't get it. My friends have tried to explain to me that it's, like, a good thing? I don't know."

Judging by all the thirsty videos on TikTok and Instagram, it's definitely a good thing. However, Olsen said that the whole thing makes her "feel old."

She explained: "Like, mothers are great, I guess, but I don't know. It makes me feel old. Because I think the people that are saying it must be young? Like, I'm not sure how I feel about it."

When asked about what it was like presenting with Pascal at the Oscars, and fans wanting to see them work together, Olsen said she'd love to work on something with "The Last of Us" star.

"I would love to work with Pedro. We've been friends for a long time… That's very odd and funny. I was happy to be able to be standing up there with him," said Olsen.

Although the "WandaVision" and "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" star had no update about her future in the MCU, she said she wouldn't turn down a solo movie.

"I would never say no, but nothing's happening," she said.
