Olivia Wilde was so excited when she spoke with President Barack Obama during a phone call that she embarrassed herself after she thought she had hung up the phone.

She explains in the latest issue of Cosmopolitan magazine: "He was calling to thank me for traveling to Iowa in October 2007 to volunteer for the campaign. I was very professional the whole time we spoke, then I hung up the phone -- or so I thought -- and started squealing for about 15 seconds. I later found out from a friend who was with him that he listened to the shrieking and laughed the entire time."

Olivia recently ended her eight-year marriage to Italian prince Tao Ruspoli. She's recently been linked to indie star Ryan Gosling though neither has confirmed the romantic entanglement.
