Olivia Wilde: Too Old!?

I thought Margot Robbie was fantastic in the role of Naomi Lapaglia in Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street. That role could have gone to another great actress, though, if she hadn’t been too old for the part. That actress is Tron: Legacy’s Olivia Wilde, and in an interview with the Howard Stern Show, she talked about her experience with finding out this news, saying:

“I had heard for a part that I was too sophisticated. I was like, oh, that sounds nice … and then I found out later that they actually said ‘old.’ ‘Sophisticated’ might be a code word in Hollywood — for ‘old.’”

Wilde was 28 years old at the time, and I don’t know about you, but I think she looks great! I can totally imagine her in the role as well. 28 is also actually closer to the age of the real life of Naomi Lapaglia, whose real name is Nadine Caridi. She was 29 years old when she married Jordan Belfort in 1991.

Robbie was 22 years old when she shot the film, and she was 16 years younger than Leonardo DiCaprio. I’m a big fan of Robbie, but at the same time, I think it’s crazy how Hollywood thinks that a beautiful 28-years-old actress like Wilde was deemed too old for this part.

There is a happy ending to Wilde’s story, though! That audition for The Wolf of Wall Street helped her land her a dream job on the HBO series Vinyl. She also loved what Robbie did in the role.

I've always liked Olivia not just as an actress but as quality eye candy as well.

As an actress she is brilliant, as eye candy she's hot!
Sad Lexa Doig Fan and PROUD of it!
