Olivia Wilde starred in three of the most provocative films this year, and she wants you to know that her Don’t worry darling drama is the least interesting thing about her. She told the New York Times on the rumors surrounding the film’s behind-the-scenes drama, where, at her lowest point, she split from her ex and father of her two children, Jason Sudeikis. Although she acknowledged that the depth of her grief and criticism is something most people don’t experience, she parsed it down to its essentials: a separation between two parents. “For me, real heartbreak has nothing to do with public attention or anything in the media. I experienced a breakup in my own life,” she explained. “I went through a breakup that was incredibly heartbreaking. So to go through that and then avoid dealing with the real pain of what was happening to then jump into a movie in Covid, it’s a crazy thing to do. All this personal stuff twisted and twisted and used in this public way, that’s the part that’s specific to this industry.”
She felt frustration talking about parts of her life that happened four years ago, but she understood the impact that had on the stories she tells today: The invitation follows a married couple who stay together for the sake of their daughter. Wilde added, “The crazy thing is that it was four years ago, and it’s the least interesting thing about me. And yet I find myself having to talk about it over and over again. The boring thing is that we could have a conversation about so many things, and the quotes and headlines will be about the past. That’s the part that depresses me.”
