Olivia Wilde says Penelope Cruz caught her off guard with an unscripted kiss while they were filming The Invite, and the moment ended up staying in the finished movie, according to E! News.
Wilde talked about the scene during a recent appearance on the Table Manners podcast. She said Cruz improvised the kiss during filming, and Wilde reacted so strongly that she briefly looked toward the camera lens before the moment was stopped.
The actress and director said she was both surprised and thrilled by the unexpected move. Wilde described the moment as one that left her mind blank, and she said she was deeply struck by working with Cruz.
In The Invite, Wilde stars alongside Seth Rogen, Penelope Cruz and Edward Norton in a dramedy about a couple hosting neighbors for dinner when the evening takes an unexpected turn. Wilde also said she felt imposter syndrome about acting in the film, even though directing it felt more natural to her.
