Olivia Wilde has recently drawn attention for her noticeably thin frame, sparking concern among fans and social media users. The actress and director appeared at a screening of her latest film, "The Invite," in London, where her appearance led to widespread discussion and worry in online comments. Many viewers expressed concern for her health, with some speculating about her well-being.
This is not the first time Wilde's appearance has been a subject of public commentary. In April, a viral red carpet video interview led some observers to compare her to the character Gollum from "The Lord of the Rings" due to her slender physique. Wilde herself acknowledged these comparisons, telling The Cut at the time, "I did look like Gollum." She also discussed the incident on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast, joking about her appearance in the viral clip and calling herself a "dead sarcophagus man."
During her "Call Her Daddy" interview, Wilde reflected on the intense public scrutiny surrounding her looks and how insecurities from her past have influenced her public image. She recalled accepting the number one spot on Maxim's Hot 100 List in 2009, explaining that a part of her that felt like an outsider in high school was drawn to the validation. However, she also recognized the problematic nature of the entertainment industry's reliance on subjective beauty standards and acknowledged her own participation in self-objectification.
Wilde has also spoken about the pressure to maintain a certain image once labeled as "pretty" in Hollywood. She noted that positive descriptors often invite negative reactions, leading to internal agreement with criticism.
Currently, Wilde is promoting "The Invite," a film she co-wrote with Rashida Jones and Will McCormack. The movie, adapted from a 2020 Spanish film, stars Wilde alongside Penelope Cruz, Seth Rogen, and Edward Norton. It tells the story of a couple with a troubled marriage who are disturbed by the sounds of sex from their upstairs neighbors.
