During a Thursday appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Vinyl star Olivia Wilde dished on her son’s upcoming Beyoncé-themed birthday bash.
“Once you have a kid, their birthdays are much more fun to think about,” said the actress, who raises nearly 2-year-old Otis with fiancé Jason Sudeikis.
The actress, who turned 32 Thursday, went on to describe the fun birthday party.
“So all I’m thinking about is Otis’ birthday next month, which is number 2, which is a lot more exciting than 32. That is going to be the party to be at!” she said. “It’s gonna be a Beyoncé listening party appreciation dance-off. His love for Beyoncé has really hit a fever pitch and I approve, of course, but it’s intense.”
How did the Bey obsession begin?
“Well, he, you know how a lot of moms have on their iPads, like a kids’ show, like an appropriate-for-kids program, like an Elmo and such? I didn’t and we were on an airplane and I needed, as many of you know, a distraction tool immediately, and all I had was all of Beyoncé’s videos from her last album. And so I just put those on for him,” she shared.
The Meadowland star says her son has a unique nickname for the Grammy Award-winning singer.
“He was really taken and he really zoned in on one in particular. The one, ‘Yonce,’ which is arguably the most sexually explicit video ever made. And he was like, ‘yeah yeah,’” she added. “And from that point on he called her ‘Beyoncé boobies,’ which I think is great. Because most people, if you’re gonna call her [something], you call her like ‘Beyoncé booty.’ But he right now is still here [motions to chest area]. He’s still thinking in this zone.”
As it turns out, the adorable tot even got to see his idol in person.
“Jason was at a Clippers game recently and had Otis there and Beyoncé walked in and was sitting like, very far away on the other side of the Staples Center, court side,” she hared. “And Jason said, ‘Otis do you see who that is?’ And he sat up and he’s like, ‘Beyoncé, Beyoncé.’ And he stood on Jason’s knees and just started going, ‘Beyoncé!’ And all these people were like, ‘What is this 2-year-old doing?’ And, you know, maybe one day she’ll hear him.”
Every bit the gracious host, DeGeneres then surprised Wilde with a set of party decorations for Otis’ upcoming Beyoncé-inspired soirée.
