When Olivia Wilde got wind of GQ’s review of Third Person in which it’s suggested she's too pretty to play a writer, she had the perfects sarcastic reply.

Olivia Wilde Responds To GQ Review

In GQ writer Tom Carson’s review of Third Person, he writes, “She's supposed to be a writer … but your belief in that won't outlast Wilde scampering naked through hotel corridors. With that tush, who'd need to be literate? Who'd want to?”

The ill-conceived joke was picked up on by Jezebal, which tweeted a link to their thought-piece titled “Olivia’s Wilde’s Ass Is Too Nice for Her to Play a Writer.” When Wilde saw the article, she replied, “Kiss my smart a–, GQ.”

GQ Apologizes

After the review – and Wilde's response to it – went viral on the Internet, GQ issued an apology.

Third Person, written and directed by Paul Haggis, tells three inter-connected love stories. In Wilde's, she plays the lover of Liam Neeson's character, who is also a writer, and who recently left his wife. Incidentally, Carson had no trouble believing that someone with a "tush" like Wilde's would sleep with a man more than 30 years her senior.
