OLIVIA Wilde has dished the dirt on her embarrassing moment with President Barack Obama!
“He was calling to thank me for traveling to Iowa in October 2007 to volunteer for the campaign,” she recalled. “I was very professional the whole time we spoke, then I hung up the phone — or so I thought — and started squealing for about 15 seconds.
“I later found out from a friend who was with him that he listened to the shrieking and laughed the entire time.”
Meanwhile, Wilde is reportedly set to take on the role of Lara Croft in the game-inspired Tomb Raider film franchise.
“The idea is to get a top director and an intelligent script and make this an empowering character for women as well as a popular one with men,” a source said.
“Olivia is just one of the names being suggested for the lead role. She would appear to be ideal.”
Wilde was first linked to the role back in December, when the actress — along with Megan Fox and High School Musical hottie Vanessa Hudgens — were all being mentioned as the new Lara.
“The idea is to make a movie around the game which would tell the story of the origins of Lara,” a source said at the time. “It will be action packed, gritty and much darker than the previous Tomb Raider movies.”
