Olivia Wilde<\/a> is poking fun of herself after online critics compared her recent red carpet appearance to the “Lord of the Rings” character Gollum.<\/p>\n

Last week, Wilde \u2014 who was promoting her new film, “The Invite,” at the San Francisco<\/a> Film Festival \u2014 gave an on-camera interview with SFGATE and the footage instantly went viral.<\/p>\n

“The cameraman really doing a disservice here,” one user commented on the post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“She looks as if she had found the one ring,” another said, referencing the “Lord of the Rings” franchise.<\/p>\n

Over the weekend, Wilde took to social media to address the online criticism.<\/p>\n

“Leave it to your little brother to give you the maximum amount of s—,” Wilde captioned the clip, per People.<\/p>\n

In the clip, Wilde’s brother, Charlie Cockburn, asked, “Olivia Wilde, do you care<\/a> to address recent rumors that you’re a resurrected corpse?”<\/p>\n

“Listen, that’s a fish-eye lens. And I admit, is that my best angle? Was that my best-ever look? No. No, it’s startling,” she admitted. “It’s a startling image.”<\/p>\n

“It was a fish-eye lens,” she continued, while giggling. “I don’t know why I was so close to the camera. I didn’t have to be. That’s not the truth.”<\/p>\n

“Do you have any more questions?” she jokingly asked. “I’m not dead.”<\/p>\n

Wilde isn’t afraid to address controversy.<\/p>\n

During an appearance at the Red Sea International Film Festival<\/a> in 2024, the actress and director admitted she rarely seeks approval or acceptance from outside voices.<\/p>\n

Wilde said she enjoys pitching projects that people “know that I won\u2019t be afraid of,” adding, “And I think part of that is being willing to not be accepted, being willing to not be celebrated by everyone, being willing to not be loved by everyone.”<\/p>\n

“I think a huge problem with our business \u2013 around the world, I imagine it\u2019s the same \u2013 when you conflate filmmaking or acting with fame or with large-scale acceptance, you immediately cut off every opportunity to do any risky work,” she continued. “And so I think that it was important to me to never become overly focused on being accepted or loved.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
