Olivia Wilde has reacted in good humor to cruel comments about her appearance after a recent red carpet interview went viral for the wrong reasons.

The 42-year-old actor and director spoke to SFGate at the San Francisco International Film Festival on April 24 ahead of the premiere of her new movie, The Invite .

However, social media commentators suggested that Wilde looked bug-eyed and skeletal in the footage, even going so far as to compare her to Gollum from the Lord of the Rings films.

Wilde addressed the comparisons in a video on her Instagram Story Sunday, posting a screenshot of her viral conversation with SFGate next to a photo of the Lord of the Rings character .

In the background, her brother, Charlie Cockburn, asked: “Olivia Wilde, do you care to address recent rumors that you're a resurrected corpse?”
