Geeks Gone Wilde
It’s hard to imagine a former O.C. co-ed could ever accrue enough geek cred to land among the chosen few in fanboy lore. On the other hand, when you’ve graced the number 1 spot on Maxim‘s Hot 100 List, where you may or may not have caught you’re first big break is of trivial irrelevance. Though a bona fide star in the movie industry for some time now, Olivia Wilde has only recently begun to make those too often preoccupied with World of Warcraft take notice of the women walking this actual planet. Cast in the highly anticipated sequel Tron: Legacy, as digital warrior Quorra, technically a computer program not a person, the fact the actress herself is of tangible human origin still disputed among scientists and science fiction fans alike. Finely formed to the point fellow techie temptress Megan Fox was inclined to divulge, “Olivia Wilde is so sexy she makes me want to strangle a mountain ox with my bare hands (not a made up quote),” perhaps Hollywood being filled with digitally engineered co-inhabitants really is the most plausible explanation of her aesthetically perfect presence.Of course, if the eyes are to be trusted and conspiracy theories entirely ignored, Wilde hails from New York City, but maintains dual citizenship in both the United States and the Republic of Ireland (suspect, we know). Born Olivia Jane Cockburn, Wilde took her stage name from famous penman Oscar Wilde, which while it may not be geeky per se, is at least a little nerdy. An appreciation for the arts still outranks a penchant for professional sports and those who partake in them, as seen in many of model proportions. Unfortunately, however, Wilde has already found her other half, married to filmmaker/musician Tao Ruspoli. This will not stop her from breaking the heart of many a mathlete for the foreseeable future, with her second foray into science fiction, Cowboys & Aliens, already on the books for 2011, sure to add alien immigration to the laundry list of explanations behind Olivia Wilde’s earthly existence.
