15 April 2025<\/time>\n <\/p>\nAustin Nichols admits he felt “weird” kissing Mary-Kate Olsen in ‘Holiday in the Sun’ because he was “too old” compared to her.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Austin Nichols was worried about to kiss Mary-Kate Olsen in Holiday in the Sun because of the age gap between the two actors<\/p>\n
The 44-year-old actor was “18 or 19, or maybe even 20” when he played Griffen Grayson, the love interest of Mary-Kate’s alter ego Madison Stewart, who was 15 when the family romance film was made.<\/p>\n
And, because of the age gap, Austin felt uncomfortable when he had to give Mary-Kate, 38, a smooch in Steve Purcell’s 2001 flick.<\/p>\n
Speaking on the ‘Drama Queens’ podcast, he admitted: “I was definitely nervous because Mary-Kate was 15, and I was, I think, 18 or 19, or maybe even 20.<\/p>\n
“I don’t remember, but I was too old. And it felt weird, and it felt wrong.<\/p>\n
\n“And I looked very young, so watching the movie, I don’t think you notice. I’m real tall and skinny and nerdy.<\/p>\n
\n“But I don’t think you can tell there’s a big age difference. But from my brain, I was like, ‘She’s 15. This is weird.'”<\/p>\n
\nThe ‘One Tree Hill’ actor was so concerned about the moment, that he had to ask Mary-Kate and her twin Ashley Olsen – who played Madison’s sister Alex – dad David and the flick’s producers if it was OK to kiss her.<\/p>\n
\nAustin recalled: “So, I remember talking to producers, and I remember talking to even her dad was there.<\/p>\n
\n“And I just wanted everybody to – I was like, ‘Is this OK with you guys?’ And they were all like, ‘Oh, don’t worry about it.’<\/p>\n
\n“Nobody seemed concerned. And I was very concerned, but it turned out fine. It was all very G-rated.”<\/p>\n
\nMary-Kate and Ashley played wealthy teenagers who jetted to the Bahamas with their parents for a winter getaway<\/p>\n
\nWhile Austin’s character tried to woo over Madison, Ashley’s alter ego fell head over heels for resort worker Jordan Landers, who was played by Ben Easter.<\/p>\n
\nAnd he was also “a little bit nervous because of my age”.<\/p>\n
\nHe told E! News in 2021: “I was a little bit nervous because of my age. My manager was like, \u2018I think they told the girls you were 16.'”<\/p>\n
\nBen immediately told Ashley he was almost 22.<\/p>\n
\nThe now photographer continued: \u201cWe hit it off right off the bat. They could see I was professional, and I wasn\u2019t some creep.\u201d<\/p>\n
