Actress Olivia Wilde apparently got turned down by the industry's tedious screening process. During an episode of "The Howard Stern Show," the actress shared that she was once denied a role for being too sophisticated, Variety reported.
Wilde was auditioning for Martin Scorceses's "The Wolf of Wall Street" for a female role and she was later told that she looked "too sophisticated" for film. She felt positive, even if she didn't get the role. However, she later found out that "sophisticated" was Hollywood lingo for old. "I want to make a translation sheet for Hollywood that's all the feedback your agents give you and what it really means," Wilde told the host.
It wasn't confirmed if she was to get the role of Leonardo DiCaprio's first wife or second wife in the 2013 black comedy, but according to Hollywood Today, she was gunning for Margot Robbie's spot.
The experience wasn't so bad because eventually her "The Wolf of Wall Street" audition earned her a spot in Martin Scorcese's "Vinyl." "It shows that if you don't get something - job interview, whatever you do for a living - it might lead to something else," Wilde beamed.
