Olivia Wilde's Had a Great Response to Initial 'Vinyl' Role Offer!

Olivia Wilde sits on a stoop and chats on her cell on Wednesday (February 17) in New York City.

The 31-year-old actress recently talked about being offered the role in HBO’s Vinyl, and she wasn’t too thrilled at first!

“I was excited to get the call but then I asked, ‘What’s the role?’ They said she’s the main character’s wife.” Olivia told The Guardian. “I was like, ‘Well, if you want me to play the long-suffering housewife, then you need to go to someone else.’ They laughed and went, ‘No, no, just you wait. She’s really fascinating.’”

Vinyl is currently airing its first season on HBO!

FYI: Olivia is wearing Vans.
