Sophie Wilde’s Background
Discovering a penchant for the theatrical arts at a very young, Sophie Wilde’s journey was filled with an array of experiences. Born to an Ivorian mother, Monalisa, and an Australian father, Simon, the 26-year-old was brought up in suburban Sydney with her younger brother, Enmore. By the age of five, Sophie was hooked on the magic of cinema and theatre. Having visited opera and musicals with her kin, she was enchanted by how things would unfold on stage. After Audrey Hepburn’s ‘Roman Holiday’ sealed the deal for her, she enrolled at the National Institute of Dramatic Art and the Australian Theatre for Young People.
Besides these short acting courses, she attended Sydney’s Newtown High School of the Performing Arts before returning to NIDA and graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting. In addition to exploring the avenues of her abilities, Sophie is also close with her parents. In 2014, the actress trekked to the Himalayas with her father following the snowstorm disaster in Nepal. The daughter-father duo had been reportedly missing for nine days before resuming contact. The duo had traveled to a remote area of the Himalayas when the avalanche hit. In tune with her adventurous spirit, Sophie has also explored the extent of her skills.
Sophie Wilde’s Profession
Gaining a renewed worldview through her time in acting school, Sophie tested the waters as an actress. Following graduation, her first acting job entailed the portrayal of Ophelia’s longing madness in Shakespeare’s renowned ‘Hamlet.’ Before long, she began auditioning for different roles. Eventually, she was cast in the drama series, ‘Eden,’ where she played the role of Scout Lewis, a 20-year-old musician who returns from Julliard to live at her mother’s wellness centre.
Slowly, Sophie began emerging as an actress with a promising future on the Australian stage. However, the Ivorian-Australian didn’t want to limit herself to any boundaries. In a feat to explore the height of her abilities, she ventured far and beyond. Next, she backed up her skills by appearing in the BBC miniseries ‘You Don’t Know Me.’ Before making a blockbuster appearance on the horrors of an embalmed hand in ‘Talk To Me,’ Sophie also appeared in ‘The Portable Door.’ Gaining a meteoric rise, the actress has since appeared in the miniseries, ‘Tom Jones.’
In a feat to expand the horizons of her skills, Sophie decided to audition for Ripley Parker’s ‘Everything Now.’ Besides developing a resonance with the character, she also hoped to display the incapacitating struggles that come with eating disorders. Despite her Australian roots, Sophie quickly embodied the afflictions, inhibitions, and demeanor of a sixteen-year-old teenager from London who suffers from anorexia nervosa.
