Apparently the Brits think Olivia Wilde is the only funny American female.
Wilde was the sole woman to appear in GQ UK's Comedy Issue and instead of making funny noises with her mouth like Paul Rudd, Robin Williams, Chris Rock, Ricky Gervais and a slew of other male comedians featured in the below promo video, Wilde proves she is funny by playing with her lady bits.
But as long as you think she's funny, not sexy, that's okay with Wilde.
"I pulled out of the Linda Lovelace biopic. I decided that it should go to someone who is not already sexualized by the public," Wilde reveals in the mag. "Linda Lovelace was an innocent. Amanda [Seyfried] will do an amazing job."
"I was very sexually mature at a very young age. I was very comfortable with it and talking about it, and once someone hears a young woman speak candidly about sexuality, it’s like, ‘Whoa!’ You get labelled," Wilde explained.
Instead of being the "hot girlfriend" role all the time, Wilde is trying to expand into comedy territory.
"I wanted to be on 'Saturday Night Live' since I was 10," Wilde said. "My father took me to a live taping on my birthday. Chris Farley was still in the cast and at the after party he had a brownie-eating contest. It became, like, a very valuable, powerful moment in my childhood. Seeing the energy of 'SNL' made me want to be a part of it."
Hmmm, coincidence that Wilde is currently dating "Saturday Night Live" star Jason Sudeikis?
Watch Wilde show off her comedic chops (and other bits) below.
