Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are psychic

Actress Ashley has revealed that she and her identical twin sister (Mary Kate) can sense what the other is feeling and thinking, even when they're are apart.

Ashley told Marie Claire magazine: "We both carry the weight of each other. Our bond is really beyond words. I know when she's hurting, I know when she's going through something. I know when she's happy - whether I'm with her or not."

Ashley is on the front cover of the September issue of the magazine.

Marie Claire's editor, Editor Joanna Coles was said-to-be extremely impressed with how the 21-year-old star has coped with fame from a very young age.

She said: "It's incredibly cool that she's come through everything that she has to be this very normal, grounded, sound young woman."

Despite their bond, it was revealed earlier this year that Mary-Kate will be breaking up their showbiz partnership to star in US TV show 'Weeds'.

Mary-Kate will play Tara, a devoted Christian teenager living in the religious community of Majestic who becomes the love interest of Silas, one of the central characters on the show.

She will star in at least 10 episodes, her first major acting role without her sister.
