House star Olivia Wilde has told how she inadvertently screamed down the phone at US President, Barack Obama.

The then White House hopeful had called the actress to thank her for her help in his election campaign.

When she hung up the phone, she began shouting uncontrollably.

But then she realised he was still on the line – and could hear every word she was saying.

She added: “I was just squealing and squawking, trying to replay the whole thing.

“It was awful – horrifying!

“But apparently he was flattered.”

The screen beauty – who topped Maxim magazine’s 2009 Hot 100 List earlier this year – told a men’s mag that she struggles with the idea that she is a sex symbol.

The 25-year-old said: “The only role I really don’t understand is this recent sort of ’sexiest-vixen’ thing.

“It doesn’t feel like me, doesn’t feel natural.”
