Elizabeth Olsen Says ‘Ugly Betty’ Fan: Influences Latino Fans for Her Reasons

Elizabeth Olsen is one of the most beloved actresses in the MCU thanks to her role as The Scarlet Witch, which evolved from her first appearance in ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’.

After playing the villain in 2022’s ‘Doctor Strange in the multiverse of madness’, Elizabeth has devoted herself to promoting her latest starring role in the HBO Max series ‘Love & Death’, which tells the story of how a woman named Candy Montgomery decides to murder a friend in cold blood with an axe.

Elizabeth Olsen revealed her favorite show is ‘I am Betty, the ugly one’: she even made a musical

In her most recent interview on ”The Jess Cagle Show,” in addition to talking about the challenge of the project, the actress was asked what her favorite show was.

Surprisingly, she expressed that it was the Colombian telenovela “I am Betty, the ugly one”, which was so successful that it was repeated in thousands of countries and to this day, it continues to be loved by fans.

Elizabeth commented that when she was a student she loved to sit and watch the episodes and it even helped her learn Spanish because in that class she was asked to do a musical on her favorite show.

Without thinking twice, he met with his friends to suggest that they adapt Betty Pinzón’s story to the theater, which they all loved because they also loved the characters.

“During breaks, my friends and I were looking to make a musical out of our favorite TV show. We did ‘I’m Ugly Betty’. Before ‘Ugly Betty’ was an American show. My friends and I used to watch the soap opera on TV and we tried to translate it. So we created a musical of Betty the ugly for our Spanish class,” he said.

He noted that taking inspiration from this iconic soap opera seemed “kind of sophisticated” to him, and while he didn’t elaborate on how the musical ended, it likely ended up being a huge hit.

The Internet took Olsen’s statement in an amused way

On social networks where the excerpt of his statement was shared, users expressed shock at this peculiar taste and made jokes about it by adding iconic phrases from the TV program.

“He didn’t even leave the hairy girl”, “Can you imagine if for ‘Wandavision’ they made an essence of how they fall in love like in the novel, and that Vision says to her: ‘Wanda, I love you'”, “I want to imagine she was recreating the scene from ‘And the Waiters Came’, ‘Wanda unleashes Betty’s verse on ‘Multiverse of madness’, ‘So Divine!’, ‘Elizabeth makes ‘Ugly Betty’ sound like a fancy title ” and “Confirmed, Betty is part of the Marvel Universe,” were some of them.

Something that also caused people to react is that Olsen knows how to speak a little Spanish, since apparently this information was not so well known.

How does Elizabeth Olsen watch ‘Ugly Betty’ and speak Spanish?”, “The real question is, does Elizabeth Olsen know how to speak Spanish? OMG”, “I don’t know what surprises me more, that she likes ‘Ugly Betty’ or that she has taken English lessons”, “Why did I never know she spoke English?” or “This all seems unreal, I don’t know I think I know Spanish thanks to Betty,” was how they expressed themselves.

Despite the virality of his confession, so far none of the former soap opera actors have issued their opinion on the matter or reacted to his words, which could prove to be a very strange crossover, but also an interesting one.
