Olivia Wilde has hinted that she is “in love” with new beau Jason Sudeikis.
Wilde opens up in the April issue of British GQ about her painful divorce from husband Tao Ruspoli and gushes about “falling in love again.”
“When you split with someone you love you think you’re the only person who has ever gone through it,” Wilde says. “‘Oh did you listen to the National on repeat and live on Marlboro Lights and chocolate for three months? Me too!’ But I was lucky to have such a peaceful parting. It’s never easy; it’s [bleeped] up and I wouldn’t recommend it. But there were no kids involved, so we could see it as this wonderful chapter. And anyway, you fall in love again. Oh God, to think that you only fall in love once in your entire life is such a depressing thought.”
OLIVIA WILDE AND JASON SUDEIKIS HAVE LOW KEY DATE
While Wilde does not reference Sudeikis by name, the “Tron” actress has been seen in public acting highly affectionate with the “SNL” funny man since December. On Monday night, sources tell Page Six that the two went on a low-key dinner date at Katsuya Hollywood.
Wilde does, however, give British GQ some insight into why Sudeikis might be so appealing to her. She tells the magazine that one of the “most powerful moments of my childhood” was going to see a live taping of “SNL.”
“I wanted to be on ‘Saturday Night Live’ since I was 10,” Wilde said. “My father took me to a live taping on my birthday. Chris Farley was still in the cast and at the after party he had a brownie-eating contest. It became, like, a very valuable, powerful moment in my childhood. Seeing the energy of ‘SNL’ made me want to be a part of it.”
The actress says that, while she was initially passed over for comedy roles, she is excited to get a chance at them now. She adds that she even pulled out of the high-profile film “Lovelace” to try to rehab her sexy public image.
“I was very sexually mature at a very young age. I was very comfortable with it and talking about it, and once someone hears a young woman speak candidly about sexuality, it’s like, ‘Whoa!’ You get labelled,” Wilde explained. “I pulled out of the Linda Lovelace biopic. I decided that it should go to someone who is not already sexualized by the public – Linda Lovelace was an innocent. Amanda [Seyfried] will do an amazing job.”
