House M.D. star Olivia Wilde makes a silly face with a JJ-sign at the Express/Elle TXT L8TR campaign event at West Hollywood’s Nobu on Wednesday (July 29). The 25-year-old actress (and #1 on Maxim’s top 100) sat down for an exclusive JustJared.com interview!
JJ: How was your first time at Comic-Con?
OW: It was fantastic. We were so excited that there was such a positive response to showing our teaser in 3-D. That was test-footage for Tron. It wasn’t even a real trailer from the film. I can’t even imagine what a ruckus we can cause next year. It’s really going to be exciting!
JJ: What was your experience campaigning with Justin [Long] and Kal [Penn] for President Obama?
OW: Oh yeah! Justin came to New Hampshire! I went to several states, but Kal and I took several actors on the road. We were first of the two surrogates in October of 2007 and rocked the caucus. And from there, everyone did different states. It was a way to bond with the community outside of the business. It was great! Among other things of electing the President!
JJ: Who’s the biggest prankster on the House set?
OW: Kal, Peter Jacobsen, Omar Epps and I torture each other all the time!
JJ: What’s your favorite prop on-set?
OW: My stethoscope!
JJ: Do you have a Twitter?
OW: Nope – not yet.
JJ: What did you think after getting the #1 spot in the 2009 Maxim Hot 100 list?
OW: Extremely flattered. It was a shock! It’s not an arena I thought I would compete in! It was a great compliment, but it’s fleeting. You focus on your work!
JJ: You went to Georgetown Day School. Were you disappointed that Sasha and Malia Obama choose Sidwell Friends over your school?
OW: Hell yeah!
