She plays a stripper in her new dark comedy Butter, which also sees her sharing a steamy smooch with co-star Ashley Greene. And as far as a career move, Olivia Wilde thinks it’s a great idea. The 28-year-old chatted about why, as an actor, it’s always important to push yourself to do things you normally wouldn’t.



Speaking at a press conference for the film in New York on Thursday, Olivia jokingly said she would advise fellow actors: ‘Take risks, and take your clothes off — even if they don’t ask. Leave your comfort zone.’


Modern Family star Ty Burrell, who she is seen seducing in a trailer for the butter carving film, then joked that her character ‘wasn’t originally a stripper’. Olivia added: ‘I already had that big tramp stamp tattoo, so it worked out.’
