The Invite, which features a cast including Seth Rogen, Penélope Cruz, and Edward Norton, follows a stagnant married couple forced to confront their lack of intimacy when adventurous neighbors arrive for dinner. Wilde recruited Belgian sexologist Esther Perel as a consultant to ensure the film’s exploration of infidelity and resentment remained grounded. According to Wilde, the project serves as an outlet for the complex emotional terrain she has navigated in her own life, noting that the vulnerability required to play the character of Angela felt necessary for the film’s authenticity.
Beyond the screen, Wilde is pushing back against public scrutiny regarding her dating history, which has included high-profile relationships with Harry Styles and Jason Sudeikis. She currently views the societal judgment of older women dating younger men as an outdated double standard. While her past, including a public separation from Sudeikis and a subsequent split from Styles in 2022, has frequently dominated headlines, Wilde emphasizes that she has moved into a more stable chapter. Now dating art dealer Caspar Jopling, she describes herself as feeling whole, suggesting that the heartbreak she endured provided the emotional depth required to fuel her latest creative work.
