Olivia Wilde de-glams for gritty new movie role
Claire Knight
We're used to seeing her dressed to the nines on red carpets, rocking couture gowns and diamonds but Olivia Wilde has ditched the glam for grit as she undergoes a serious make-under for her new movie Meadowland.
Starring alongside Luke Wilson, the pair plays a husband and wife who are devastated over the disappearance of their son. Check out the trailer, above.
Like Charlize Theron in Monster and Halle Berry in Monster's Ball, Olivia's raw performance in Meadowland could herald a turning point in her career, allowing her to shed previous 'hot girl' clichés. It's already being praised as the best thing the 31-year-old actress has done yet.
