Olivia Wilde is not concerned about her viral red carpet appearance, darling.
The Don’t Worry Darling star responded to criticism of her look after a video circulated online from the San Francisco International Film Festival on April 24.
As her brother Charles Cockburn asked in a video shared to her Instagram Stories on May 3, “Olivia Wilde, do you care to address recent rumors that you’re a resurrected corpse?”
Editing a photo of Olivia from the now-viral SFGATE interview during the event—where she wore a drop-waist black skirt and white T-shirt—next to an image of Gollum from The Lord of the Rings, the Tron: Legacy actress reacted to what online users perceived as her slimmed-down appearance.
“Listen, that is a fisheye lens,” Olivia explained regarding her altered look. “And I admit, is that my best angle? Was that my best ever look? No, it’s a startling image.”
“I don’t know why I was so close to the camera,” she continued with a laugh. “I didn’t have to be. That’s not the truth.”
Further emphasizing her point, the 42-year-old joked, “I’m not dead.”
She also teased her brother’s line of questioning, writing onscreen, “Leave it to your little brother to give you the maximum amount of s–t.”
