Olivia Wilde Rumored As Wonder Woman; ‘Drinking Buddies’ Star Recently Gave Advice On Being 30 And Successful

Olivia Wilde is now one of Hollywood's top actresses. She had her most successful year to date.

Now, with casting rumors left and right, the "Drinking Buddies" star is caught in the middle of it. The rumored female lead of the "Man Of Steel 2" sequel (working title 'Batman Vs Superman') could either be Batman's love interest or another superhero/villain. It could also be "Wonder Woman."

The script is completely under wraps and not even the shrewdest of sleuths have a leak at the moment. But whatever the role is, Wilde is apparently in the radar.

The actress recently turned 30 this year, and she shared some advice with Glamour magazine.

On how her age affects how many roles she can play: "In human years I am 29. In actress years I'm the ripe, promising age of 18 to 35. That's how it works here in Hollyweird. You aren't a specific age-you're an amorphous mystery cloud of time that molds to whatever the director has in mind. "Sure, I'm a freshman in college! Can't you tell by my ponytail and henna tattoo?" or "Of course I'm a 34-year-old neuroscientist. Did you not see my lab coat and sensible shoes?""

"Sure, it'll be tougher to convince an audience I'm the "feisty young coed," cramming for my biochem final and wondering if Zac Efron's character likes my new crushed-velvet headband, but I was never crazy about those roles anyway. People assume actresses are afraid to get older; the truth is the roles get a whole lot more compelling once you're too old to play dumb. So I'm welcoming this development with open arms, and so should you."

On plastic surgery: "I am so saddened and grossed out by young women who look like creepy, old aliens because of their new Barbie noses and lips. Is that a smile or a grimace? Did you melt hot wax on your face, or is that your skin? A better approach: Take care of yourself now that you're old enough to know how. Drink water, sleep eight hours (I wish), and don't go within 400 feet of a tanning booth or I'll slap you. Hard."

On becoming desperate: "Sure, you've attended more bridal showers than yoga classes in the past year, but that doesn't mean you're destined to be a craggy spinster, searching for roommates on Craigslist at 50. The danger with "husband hunting" is you start to see every date as a job interview ("He does seem to be homosexual, but that might be good for fatherhood!"); it clouds your ability to get to know someone."
