And my character was like, she's just insane.
What I think was funny about the difference between the female characters in the movie is there were the pretty girls-I think Dominique Swain, Amanda, all those girls were the pretty girls. I was totally impressed with her work, with that scene.
Were you heated Amanda Seyfried from Mean Girls only had to show half a breast, when you had to go full frontal? You're gonna need a sense of humor for some of these. Some of the guys at Complex went crazy over you in Alpha Dog and sent some questions they want you to answer. It's a little funkier looking than the Bel Air, and I was like, That's more like me. It used to be a '54 Bel Air that was my dream car, and then I saw this '58 Chevy, and I was like, this is it. I grew up on the East Coast, and I always thought if I lived on the West Coast, the first thing I'd want is an old, classic car. So what's with the '58 Chevy? Do you have a thing with cars? You'd never guess, but this is what happens to her. They jumped on top of my car and I'm thinking about my paint job, and I'm like, "This is a 1958, this is an original paint job!" Rachel's just sitting there and I'm like, What am I supposed to do? I can't back up or I'm gonna run them over.
So we got in my car, and about 65 photographers just… She was like, "Can I just ride with you?" She didn't wanna take a limo. We were outside of a Golden Globes party and we were walking to my car and I have this beautiful blue '58 Chevy Biscayne. I mean, Rachel Bilson, who I'm still friends with, she's so cool, completely unaffected. They all went through an experience together, going from nothing to extreme fame. What about hanging with the cast of The O.C. And this character was the biggest departure from me. I think every character I'd played up to that point was a really big reflection of myself, or a version of myself. In a sleazy motel room, chain-smoking? I definitely hadn't been anywhere near that situation, and that's what made it so fun. It seems like from your background you probably haven't been in any situations like that in your life before…Ībsolutely not. It was kind of a last minute deal and most of it was improvised.
That scene Nick wrote once he met me and we talked about the character. It was a difficult scene to do because a lot of times in love scenes you giggle in between and you're like, "Hee hee, we're naked," but there was no laughing. And it's hilarious that I completely have no respect for that. He didn't want there to be any cuddliness about it he wanted to be unable to be sexually aroused in the scene. Well, Emile was funny, because he's so good at staying in character. The Hollywood Hills and discuss her rising star, her naked ambition, and whether Emile is a meal. Complex had the good fortune to catch up with Young Blue Eyes at a mansion in
The Washington, D.C., native is set to star opposite Paul Walker later this year in The Death And Life Of Bobby Z, as well as in Crash director Paul Haggis's new TV show, The Black Donnellys. However, Alpha Dog is just the beginning for the 22-year-old Phillips Andover alum, who, surprisingly, comes from a lineage of revered journalists. In fact, her final scene, in which she emasculates an on-the-run Hirsch for not being able to, um, perform-even after some inspired fluffing-is one of the film's most memorable moments. Olivia Wilde is set to ascend to the A-list thanks to a key role in the ensemble cast of Nick Cassavetes's whiteboy Menace II Society, Alpha Dog, in which she holds her own alongside heavyweights like Bruce Willis, Sharon Stone, Justin Timberlake, and Emile Hirsch. Well, that, good people, is about to change.
That is, she's just recognizable enough that when she appears on screens you've thought, "Oh, it's her…that hot girl…the one that looks like Jenna in the face, and Paris in the waist…what was she in?" Then you recall, "Oh, that's right, she was the lesbian love interest on The O.C… Funny, I'll never admit that I knew that to another man." Then your mind drifts, and you think about something else-Jenna or Paris, perhaps-but you never place a name to her seductive face. This feature originally appeared in Complex's April/May 2006 issue.įor the last several years, Olivia Wilde has inhabited celebrity purgatory. Complex caught up with the No.1 stunna and got her to spill the beans on full-frontal nudity, making out with Mischa, and what's eating Emile Hirsch (hint: not her!). Olivia Wilde turned heads when she tongued-down Mischa Barton on The O.C., but now this sex-oozing 22-year-old officially steals the show in Alpha Dog.
