Olivia Wilde on Getting Naked for 'Vinyl,' Choosing a Merkin from the Show's Merkin Wall
"Build-a-Bush."

The full bush might be back, but for Olivia Wilde and her Vinyl costars, there's no growth period required—not when they've got a wall of custom merkins to choose from.
During an appearance on Seth Meyers, the 32-year-old actress, who recently revealed that she was passed over for the Wolf of Wall Street for being too old, discussed the protective qualities of pubic-hair wigs.
"I was horrified background actors might think this was my real body hair," she said. "So I was walking around like 'WHOA. Check this FAKE merkin out, everyone. It's not real!' Because it was shocking. But it makes it all a little easier."
