Don’t worry, darling.
Olivia Wilde’s fans have rushed to the actress’ defense after ruthless trolls criticized her appearance in a new video.
The brutal attack began after the 42-year-old movie star, who was walking the red carpet ahead of the San Francisco International Film Festival last Friday, stopped for an interview with SF Gate.
Wilde, who was attending an event to promote her latest film, The Invite, appeared slimmer than usual in the now-viral video, critics claim.
But fans of the “Life Itself” star spoke out and hit back at Wilde’s haters on social media.
Some explained that the lighting and camera angle were clearly to blame, while others claimed that the trolls were leaving Wild alone and “looking in on people instead of on the outside.”
One fan tweeted: “Bad lighting and bad camera lens. Other than that she’s beautiful and aging gracefully.”
“I think it might have been the camera settings or the filter of the person who took that video. I saw the news clip and she didn’t look that bad,” another agreed.
“Sometimes you need to strip down, you need to leave people alone,” said a third person in Booksmart’s Director’s Corner.
Another fan shared: “Why is this being posted? She’s beautiful.” “We live in a world where everyone has to be perfect. You can’t be too fat, you can’t be too thin…I mean, who cares?”
Page Six has reached out to Wilde’s representatives for comment.
In a candid interview with Elle in 2022, the “Tron: Legacy” actress spoke about the intense scrutiny she and other celebrities receive as public figures.
At the time, she was directing Don’t Worry Darling with her then-boyfriend Harry Styles, 32, and Florence Pugh.
Styles, who is 10 years younger than Wilde, has since become engaged to 37-year-old Zoe Kravitz.
“It’s as if the general public feels that if they’re making something for sale to the public, they’re somehow accepting that their lives will be torn to shreds by a pack of wolves,” Wilde told the outlet.
“No, it’s not really part of the job description,” she added. “That was never the case.”
Before that, the Wake Up director spoke about the importance of “loving your body” in a 2021 Vogue interview.
“We want to celebrate the idea that loving your body and feeling beautiful gives you confidence, and that the rituals you practice for yourself are an opportunity to celebrate yourself,” she argued.
“Beauty is not a requirement to interact with the rest of the world,” Wilde added at the time. “This is about having a conversation with yourself and celebrating yourself.”
