Olivia Wilde is many things—a director, a wonderful mother, a loving partner to Jason Sudeikis, a smart, talented actress—but, uh, old is not how I would describe the 32-year-old (yes, 32!!!). But surprise, surprise, Hollywood's ageism strikes again: Olivia just revealed that she didn't land a role in 2013's The Wolf of Wall Street because she was considered quote-unquote "too sophisticated" (read: not 25 years old or younger). "The funniest thing I heard recently was, I heard that I was too sophisticated [for The Wolf of Wall Street]," she told The Howard Stern Show. "I thought, 'Oh, that sounds nice. I like that feedback. I didn't get the part, but I'm a very sophisticated person.' And then I found out later they actually said old."

(And, for reference, Leo is 41 years old, Margot is 25, and, again, remember that Olivia is only 32.) Cool, Hollywood. Real cool. via GIPHY But even though she didn't get
