![]() “To be among those filmmakers,” she says, “holy fuck.” When we meet in London in July, Wilde is still floored by the fact that Darling will premiere at the Venice International Film Festival in the company of works by Darren Aronofsky, Noah Baumbach, and Alejandro G. Darling, though, takes an ambitious leap, not just in its surreal, almost sci-fi beauty but in the depth of its message about the strength of women and the courage it requires to question an oppressive system when absolutely everyone is saying, What system? What oppression? Pugh is ferociously good as the rebellious Alice, who’s either as crazy as they all say or being gaslighted by an entire palm-fringed oasis of a company town in the desert, including her stylish, exuberant husband, Jack (Styles). The comedy updated the John Hughes coming-of-age formula, debunking social stereotypes, spreading kind and inclusive messages, and examining the complexities of female friendship. Wilde’s first movie was a funny, slyly subversive story about two overachieving seniors (Beanie Feldstein and Kaitlyn Dever) who realize they’ve unfairly judged their fun-loving classmates and try to pack four years’ worth of high school extracurriculars into one night. As we talk about Don’t Worry Darling-and the demands on someone who’s acting in, directing, and producing a movie-there’s a nice irony to the fact that she’s blissed out and making a bowl.ĭon’t Worry Darling is a bold pivot after Booksmart. (When we’ve parted for the day, Wilde texts me a photo she took of me looking bemused at the wheel, along with the winking caption, “Master of her craft.”) Wilde herself is warm, serene, and engaged at the wheel. Our instructor is an artist named Freya, who serves us tea in proper cups and encourages us with phrases like “just squidge it up.” If Freya or Wilde is appalled by my interpretation of an ancient art form, they do not show it. My entire Instagram feed is just, like, people throwing pots.” Soon we’re each seated at pottery wheels with mounds of clay. This is the one thing that I feel completely zen about. “I’ll go to a Pilates class or dance class and get really competitive. “Everything else in my life, I want to be very good at: work, parenting, friendships, exercise,” she tells me. ![]() Wilde is a perfectionist-she ends up being on time-but pottery puts her at ease. Tube strike made getting a car a bit of a clusterfuck but I will be with you by 11:05. She’s running very slightly late, so she texts: “Julie! Hi it’s Olivia! I’m on my way. I asked if we could start our interviews somewhere other than a restaurant, and Wilde gamely suggested this. We talk at a pottery class in North London. ![]() We will continue to focus on raising and protecting our children with the sincere hope that she will now choose to leave our family alone.If Mirren had known what Wilde went through to make the movie-let alone the nasty surprise that awaited her when she walked on the stage moments later, or the wind tunnel of gossip in store at the Venice International Film Festival in September-she’d have hugged her even harder. “Her now 18 month long campaign of harassing us, as well as loved ones, close friends and colleagues, has reached its unfortunate apex. “As parents, it is incredibly upsetting to learn that a former nanny of our two young children would choose to make such false and scurrilous accusations about us publicly,” they told Page Six. The couple vehemently denied the nanny’s claims on Monday. Our source adds that the “Horrible Bosses” actor was “heartbroken” at the time of the alleged incident. “Out of everything, he was like, ‘She made her special salad dressing and took it to him,'” she recalled. ![]() It appears the “special salad dressing” Wilde made for Sudeikis and their kids, Otis, 8, and Daisy, 5, was the straw that broke the camel’s back for the “SNL” alum. 4 The nanny further claimed the “Don’t Worry Darling” director made a “special salad dressing” for Harry Styles, which did Sudeikis in emotionally. ![]()
