Olivia Wilde responds after viral red carpet footage drew comparisons to Gollum from 'Lord of the Rings'

"She looks as if she had found the one ring," another said, referencing the "Lord of the Rings" franchise.

Over the weekend, Wilde took to social media to address the online criticism.

"Leave it to your little brother to give you the maximum amount of s---," Wilde captioned the clip, per People.

"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," she admitted. "It's a startling image."

"It was a fish-eye lens," she continued, while giggling. "I don't know why I was so close to the camera. I didn't have to be. That's not the truth."

"Do you have any more questions?" she jokingly asked. "I'm not dead."

Wilde isn't afraid to address controversy.

Wilde said she enjoys pitching projects that people "know that I won't be afraid of," adding, "And I think part of that is being willing to not be accepted, being willing to not be celebrated by everyone, being willing to not be loved by everyone."

"I think a huge problem with our business - around the world, I imagine it's the same - when you conflate filmmaking or acting with fame or with large-scale acceptance, you immediately cut off every opportunity to do any risky work," she continued. "And so I think that it was important to me to never become overly focused on being accepted or loved."
