Olivia Wilde is hot.Sweating, actually. It's an unusually cool, overcast Saturday morning in Venice, California, but inside a neighborhood fitness studio, beads of perspiration have gathered on the actress's brow. Crouched over a sleek stationary bike, the 26-year-old is pedaling furiously in the middle row of the 9:15 a.m. indoor cycling class, her face glistening, her blue-green eyes lasers of focus.Olivia is a regular at the studio, but it's been a while since she has attended a class. A month earlier she was bucked from a horse while filming Cowboys & Aliens, a sci-fi Western costarring Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford due out this summer. "It was embarrassing, because I was the only girl [doing the stunt]," says Olivia. Thankfully, she emerged without serious injury, but she's not sure how her first time back in the saddle will feel.While others whoop and holler to the beats of Justin Timberlake and Beyonce, Olivia pedals silently and steadily, and rides out the burn. "When you feel like you're going to die…keep going," she says."Always keep moving."Perpetual motion is a concept Olivia is familiar with. She may be best known for her role as Dr. Remy "Thirteen" Hadley on Fox's hit drama, but her film career is racing full speed ahead. Right now, she can be seen inand the thriller, with Russell Crowe. She also has a political satire called, with Jennifer Garner, hitting theaters later this year, anddue out in July.This past October she filmed, in which she plays Justin Timberlake's…mom (in this sci-fi thriller people stop aging at 25). Then in November she started filming the comedy, with Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman.In person, Olivia has an easiness about her. She talks freely about her passions, whether it's her movies or an episode of. Needless to say, she's also stunning: While others wilt after a biking and yoga doubleheader (she chased the cycling with an hour of yoga), she looks radiant.After her workout, Olivia walks her beach cruiser down Venice's hip(pie) thoroughfare, without sunglasses and without airs. "I love your dress," she says to a passerby before settling down at a sidewalk table at a vegan macrobiotic joint. (Olivia dabbled in veganism before fully committing to it last January.)The days of relative anonymity she now enjoys may be numbered, thanks to, the sequel to Disney's 1982 sci-fi video-game flick. In it, Olivia plays Quorra, a character she describes as "a little nerd bot, but also a kick-ass warrior ninja." Quorra possesses an inner strength that Olivia embodies, saysdirector Joseph Kosinski. "Obviously, she's strikingly beautiful," he says, adding that she's also "hyperintelligent and very sharp." Her costar Garrett Hedlund puts it another way: "She's a girl that gets it."Chalk it up to her storied pedigree. Born in New York and raised in Washington, D.C., the middle child of journalists Andrew and Leslie Cockburn, Olivia (who took Oscar Wilde's last name upon launching her acting career) grew up around celebrities. One encounter stands out. "My parents were contributing editors to Vanity Fair, and I'd be the only kid at the [magazine's] parties," she says. "George Clooney was at one of them. I was about 12, and he was already famous from ER. My mom said, 'Go talk to George! You're an interesting young woman!' I was like, 'O-kaaay.'"A year or two later, she ran into Clooney at the premiere of, which her parents helped produce. "There were hundreds of people trying to get close to him," she says, "but he saw me through the crowd, pushed all these women out of the way, and said, 'Olivia! Are you a movie star yet?'"Not yet, but it wasn't far off. After graduating from the prestigious Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, Olivia, who had always dreamed of becoming an actress, deferred enrollment to college so that she could intern for L.A. casting director Mali Finn; six months later, Olivia was offered a small part in the 2004 dramedy. "I kept getting jobs, so I stayed in L.A.," she says.Another reason she hung around: She had been fixed up with a filmmaker named Tao Ruspoli, son of the late Italian Prince Dado Ruspoli. Despite their age difference—she was 18, he was 27—the two hit it off and were married six months later. "We eloped. There was nothing traditional about it," she concedes. But perhaps it's because the marriage was so unconventional that it has lasted. "You're not thinking, 'We must be perfect!' It was, 'Hey, isn't this an optimistic thing to do? And if it lasts, we're lucky.'"So far, so good. When asked if Tao gets jealous when his wife locks lips with a hot on-screen love interest, Olivia says, "I think he likes it." To clarify, she adds: "It's a turn-on that I get to do these things. The confidence that comes with doing well only makes you more desirable."Tao and film work aren't the only things Olivia cares about deeply. Her Twitter feed is dotted with posts of support for the ACLU and Artists for Peace and Justice, a relief organization. She credits activism for helping her keep things in perspective: "You can be egocentric in this business—it'll rot you," she says. "I feel like we're past the bullshit phase, like cooch shots of Paris Hilton getting out of a limo. The cool thing is to be doing something to help the world. Keeping at least 50 percent of your energy turned outward keeps you sane."So does cooking. Olivia loves throwing dinner parties, and being vegan lets her experiment with whatever leafy things she finds at farmers' markets or in her garden. Contributing to the healthy vibe is an active lifestyle—whether she's hiking or taking ballet, modern dance, yoga, or an indoor cycling class. Her latest hobby is stand-up paddleboarding, something she picked up from actor-director Jon Favreau during theshoot.To fit into Quorra's skintight outfit for, Olivia worked with a trainer and did 45 minutes of cardio a day, along with a combination of weights, cross training, and martial arts. "I'd never had muscles in my stomach," marvels Olivia. "And my ass was on a whole other level. Like, 'Oh, you're up here now? Welcome!'" But as much as she enjoyed her stint as a muscular person, "It's not my natural resting state," she says."Striving for physical perfection takes a lot of energy. For me, it's important to come home from work, cook a meal with my husband, and spend the afternoon reading a book, instead of always running [around]." But don't get her wrong: She'll do whatever it takes to get back into fighting shape. "If we do another Tron," she says laughing, "I'll fit into that damn suit again."
