    Elizabeth Olsen has always "idolised the British countryside"

    The 36-year-old actress was recently mocked for hailing the British countryside as her ideal eternity world - but Elizabeth has now doubled-down on that suggestion.


    Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Elizabeth explained: "My go-to answer has now been mocked by a British journalist.

    "I've always idolised the British countryside, and I was like, 'Well, now I feel dumb for answering that way.' I love looking at the cliffs and the sea, and wearing all my outdoor gear because it's rainy and cold, in a charming little town with lots of great people and one great restaurant. So it would be some fantasy version of that, but then a part of me is like, 'Should I just say Venice, Italy in February?' Maybe that's just an easier response because it exists."

    Elizabeth also hopes that her happiest self will arrive at some stage in the future.

    The movie star said: "As much as it's a rule - and a very clever rule for this world and this story - I don't know if we can quantify when we are happiest.

    "We look back at the past with nostalgia, and we look at the future with hope, but we have a hard time being present. I do have very clear memories where I can't stop saying how happy I am, but I would like to think [my happiest self] is somewhere in my future. I would rather it not be somewhere in my past."

    Elizabeth recently revealed that she used to dream of living in England one day.

    The Hollywood star told Variety: "When I was in high school, I dreamt of being a very old lady on the coast of England, alone actually.

    "I might have had an animal, and it would be like foggy and wet and kind of cold, and I would go on long walks and I would be in a small town that had like one of each thing you need like one bakery, one coffee shop, one fishmonger, one cheese shop, one like community centre, one theatre. It was always just me because I like meeting new people and I like being a part of a community, and I always imagined I would die alone."
