Olivia Wilde is Willing To do What Ever it Takes to Save a Mountain Ox
In this months issue of GQ magazine, Olivia Wilde talks about her new movie Year One with Black Jack and Michael Cera, as well as comments on being Megan Fox's girl crush.
In the movie Year One, Olivia plays a sophisticated, seductive princess of some Ancient Roman–esque empire who is toying with Jack Black’s barbarian heart. Olivia may know a thing or two about playing a princess because she is an Italian princess in real life.
“Yeah, it’s all been research,” she laughs when asked whether she got hitched in preparation.
On working in Shreveport, Louisiana where Year One was filmed.
“There’s not much to do in Shreveport except hit the drive-through daiquiri stand,” she says. “So the producers gave us video cameras. David Cross made a film about whether he could make it through a day without walking—because there was no pedestrian activity in Shreveport. He went to Wal-Mart and took a cab from the car to the entrance.”
On Megan Fox's recent comment in Esquire about wanting to strangle a mountain ox in a fit of bisexual lust:
"I came into my trailer at House the morning after
that article came out," she says, "and one of our writers had done an illustration on my mirror of a mountain ox saying, 'Save me, save me. Please, Olivia, make out with Megan!' " Though Wilde is a little skeptical of the recent girl-crush fad, she's always willing to pitch in for a cause: "Of course
, anything I can do to save the mountain ox, I'm happy to do."
