Olivia Wilde: 'I prefer being a brunette'

House star Olivia Wilde has said that people treat her much better as a brunette than they ever did when she had blond hair.

The actress, who is naturally blonde, claimed she was always stereotyped as a 'typical blonde' in her early acting days.

"I'm a natural blonde, but I feel like a brunette," Wilde told Bang! Showbiz recently. "I feel people treat me now how I should be treated."

"People used to be shocked when I was a blonde that I wasn't stupid," Wilde explained.

The actress recently filed for divorce from Tao Ruspoli, her husband of over eight years, citing "irreconcilable differences".

Tron Legacy director Joseph Kosinski recently suggested that he hoped to bring back Wilde's character Quorra if Disney commits to a third film.
