Olivia Wilde Reacts To Being Compared To Gollum After Viral Interview Sparks Concern

Olivia Wilde has responded to comparisons of her to Gollum from Lord of the Rings after a recent red carpet interview went viral.

The internet claimed it must be the Ozempic wreaking havoc on her face, but the Hollywood actress, 42, assures it was just an unflattering camera angle and fisheye lens…

Wilde explains: “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. It’s a startling image.”

“It was a fish-eye lens. I don’t know why I was so close to the camera. I didn’t need to be.

“I’m not dead.”

I guess we’re going to have to take her word for it. To be fair, Olivia Wilde has been skinny forever so I’m not sure what use she would have for Ozempic, but then you never know with these Hollywood types. Maybe she’s just getting skinnier and her face is ageing regularly and this is what it looks like?

It’s hard to say really. I mean, that does look like an Ozempic face on the right, but at the same time I guess any woman that slims down in their 30s/40s is going to be accused of being on the skinny jabs these days. That’s just the way things are now.

Maybe someone who knows about cameras and lenses can clarify? Cheers.
