Olivia Wilde reveals how Tom Cruise reacted to her custody papers moment
Olivia Wilde shared that Tom Cruise empathized with her after her ex, Jason Sudeikis, served her custody papers in the middle of her 2022 CinemaCon presentation. In an interview with Alex Cooper on her podcast Call Her Daddy, Wilde spilled the beans on everything that happened.
She recalled she was in the middle of her presentation for her second directorial venture, Don’t Worry Darling. An unidentified woman quietly handed her an envelope that read, “personal and confidential” across the stage. The actress accepted the envelope before continuing with her presentation.
Wilde labelled it as one of the “most f***ed up things” she went through. She continued: “And I’ll just say that now with enough space behind it, the part that I can laugh at is that… Obviously, it was incredibly traumatizing.” The 42-year-old actress decided to channel her attention to her presentation and gave herself a nice pep talk to focus on the task at hand.
However, she remembered that she went backstage and “dissolved into a puddle”. Moreover, the House alum was hoping that it didn’t make any news. “But then, I thought, ‘No one saw it because there’s no phones allowed in this event. No one saw. Oh, what’s that? It’s already up on Page Six? There’s a video? Okay,’” she reminisced.
The Invite maker hoped that nobody saw it, but was surprised to learn that it had reached Hollywood megastar Tom Cruise. The Top Gun star empathized with her personally. Wilde recalled, “A couple months later, I had the chance [to meet] Tom Cruise, and he was like, ‘Hi, I’m Tom. F***ed up what happened to you in Vegas.’” This is the point when the Tron Legacy star realized that the news went “wide” and reached a lot of people, including Cruise.
