Olivia Wilde shuts down "startling" red carpet rumors with a sense of humor
Olivia Wilde clarifies the truth behind her viral red carpet look with funny insights
After a video from the San Francisco International Film Festival sparked wild internet speculation about her appearance, Olivia Wilde is setting the record straight. Addressing rumors of a "startling" transformation, the actress and director took to her Instagram story to explain that the culprits weren’t lifestyle choices, but rather camera angles and a fisheye lens.
With a humorous assist from her younger brother, who joked about her being a "resurrected corpse," Olivia shared side-by-side images comparing the viral interview snap to the character Gollum from Lord of the Rings. She admitted that while the resulting image was indeed "startling," it was simply a case of being too close to the lens. With a laugh and a clear message, Olivia reassures fans that she is healthy, happy, and definitely not the subject of these viral myths.
