Olivia Wilde soaks up the sun during LA workout… after Don’t Worry Darling triumphs at box office

Olivia Wilde was seen soaking up the sun in Los Angeles when she stepped out for a spot of exercise this Friday.

The 38-year-old is currently basking in the success of her second directorial venture Don’t Worry Darling, which bowed in theaters one week prior.

Showcasing her knockout pins in a pair of leggings, she modeled a simple white t-shirt and slung a towel over her shoulders in case she worked up a sweat.

Olivia directed her pop star boyfriend Harry Styles, 28, opposite acclaimed actress Florence Pugh in Don’t Worry Darling.

Despite being bashed by the critics to the tune of 38% on Rotten Tomatoes, the movie soared to the top of the box office upon its release. 

The film’s triumph came on a wave of publicity after a press tour where Olivia was buffeted by one controversy after another – not least involving her controversial workplace romance with her much younger employee.

There were also reports she fell out with Florence, 26, who was allegedly angered by Olivia’s relationship with Harry getting in the way of making the movie. 

At the moment the director is also locked in a custody battle with her ex-fiance Jason Sudeikis, with whom she shares two children – Otis, eight, and Daisy, five. Olivia’s daughter also appears in the film in a cameo role. 

During the film’s New York premiere last week, Florence was noticeably absent, as she is currently in Europe filming the upcoming Dune sequel. 

A report in Page Six claimed Florence took issue with Olivia for supposedly taking up with Harry while still engaged to Jason Sudeikis.

Olivia, who has two children with Jason, has staunchly denied cheating on him with Harry and has slammed rumors of her infidelity as ‘complete horses***.’ 

More recently an on set source dished to Vulture that Florence and Olivia erupted into a ‘screaming match’ during the shoot because the director had a tendency to ‘just disappear’ with Harry.

Florence has scarcely done any media for Don’t Worry Darling, resulting in the initial round of rumors that she had a rift with her director.

She sent the feud speculation into overdrive when she suddenly pulled out of a press conference for Don’t Worry Darling at the Venice Film Festival this month.

Although Florence withdrew from the presser last minute, she did manage to attend the movie’s red carpet premiere at the film festival later that day.

Olivia appeared on Stephen Colbert’s late-night show last week and denied having bad blood with her ‘sensational’ leading lady, whom she hailed as a ‘superhero.’

She blamed sexism for the conjecture, arguing that her ‘male director colleagues’ were not ‘answering’ questions about their equation with their actors.

‘I have nothing but respect for Florence’s talent. She’s fantastic,’ Olivia maintained. ‘I have nothing against her for any reason.’

On the day of the movie’s release Florence posted an Instagram tribute to ‘all of you who helped make’ Don’t Worry Darling.

Although she neglected to mention Olivia by name in her caption, she did include a picture of them together in her wide-ranging Instagram album from the shoot. 

Another one of Don’t Worry Darling’s scandals involved Shia LaBeouf, who was supposed to be the leading man of the film before Harry took over.

Olivia initially claimed that she fired Shia because of her ‘no a**hole policy,’ saying is process was ‘not conducive to the ethos that I demand in my productions.’

Shia, who is currently being accused of abuse by his ex-girlfriend FKA Twigs, shot back by declaring that he quit because of a ‘lack of rehearsal time.’

He addressed his side of the story by leaking an email he sent Olivia – as well as video footage of her trying to persuade him not to leave the movie.

‘I feel like I’m not ready to give up on this yet, and I, too, am heartbroken and I want to figure this out,’ the director said in the video.

‘You know, I think this might be a bit of a wake-up call for Miss Flo, and I want to know if you’re open to giving this a shot with me, with us,’ Olivia added. 

‘If she really commits, if she really puts her mind and heart into it at this point and if you guys can make peace – and I respect your point of view, I respect hers – but if you guys can do it, what do you think? Is there hope? Will you let me know?’ 

On the Colbert show this week, Olivia doubled down on her claim that she fired Shia, saying he forced her to choose between him and Florence.

‘We had to replace Shia. He is a fantastic actor, but it wasn’t gonna work. When he gave me the ultimatum of, you know, him or Florence, I chose Florence,’ she said.

According to Olivia’s version of events: ‘That was him feeling he was stepping away and me feeling like we were moving on without him.’

The original screenplay of Don’t Worry Darling was written by Dick Van Dyke’s grandsons Carey and Shane Van Dyke.

When Olivia assumed control of the project, she had it rewritten by Katie Silberman, one of the writers of her directorial debut Booksmart. 

Harry and Florence star in the film as a couple living a Stepfordesque existence in the 1950s – only for her to discover her tranquil life is concealing a dark secret.
