There was a whole lot of fanboy excitement a little while ago when it looked like there was a chance that Olivia Wilde was going to appear nude in a scene of Cowboys & Aliens. In a story written for the Toronto Star, Wilde said “Last night, we did a scene where I'm naked in front of a group of couple hundred Apache. Pretty amazing, pretty interesting.”. I'm not sure where interesting comes from. But that's a pretty solid quote for the rumor mills to have picked up.
And to add to Wilde's quote the story quoted co-star Adam Beach saying “We just finished shooting Olivia Wilde naked in front of a bonfire in front of 500 Apache warriors… That was beautiful. You won't get to see what I saw, but you'll get a glimpse.”.
That's where the rumor really picked up steam. People even started talking about the movie getting an R rating and showing full nudity.
However, the hopes of many a fan were dashed when Wilde posted this on her Twitter account (@oliviawilde): "don't want to disappoint, but my "nude" scene in Cowboys & Aliens is very PG13. I was in a bikini but we'll make it look as naked as we can."
So there you have it. A whole lot of nothing made from the quotes in a newspaper story.
The moral of the story is of course, you can't trust the mainstream media.
