Sophie Wilde

Sophie Wilde (born 1997) is an Australian actress. She gained early attention for her roles on the Stan drama series Eden and the BBC One drama miniseries You Don't Know Me (both 2021). Her performance in the horror film Talk to Me (2022) brought her further recognition, winning the AACTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role. She also received a nomination for the BAFTA Rising Star Award and was honoured with the Trophée Chopard.

Her other film roles include The Portable Door (2023) and Babygirl (2024). On television, she starred in the ITV period drama Tom Jones, and the Netflix series Everything Now (both 2023) and Boy Swallows Universe (2024). For the latter, Wilde received a Logie Award.

Wilde was born in 1997 to an Ivorian mother and an Australian father. She has a younger brother and grew up in Enmore, an Inner West suburb of Sydney.

As a child, Wilde's grandparents would take her to "theatre shows, the opera and random musicals". From the age of five, she took drama classes at the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) and the Australian Theatre for Young People (ATYP).

She attended Newtown High School of the Performing Arts. After finishing school, she studied acting at NIDA, graduating in 2019 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting.

In 2014, during a trip to the Himalayas, Wilde, then 17 years old, and her father were reported missing following the 2014 Nepal snowstorm disaster. After nine days, Wilde's father contacted her mother to tell her they were fine, having travelled to a remote area of the Himalayas when the avalanche hit.

In 2020, Wilde played Ophelia in the Bell Shakespeare production of Hamlet. That same year, she was named a Rising Star by the Casting Guild of Australia.

In 2021, Wilde made her television debut as Scout in the Stan drama series Eden. Wilde said that it was the "first audition where she had gut-certainty that it was the right role". Later that year, she starred as Kyra opposite Samuel Adewunmi in the BBC four-part series You Don't Know Me. To prepare for the role, Wilde practised her English accent by watching and listening to British actresses such as Michaela Coel.
