The 28-year-old actress plays a stripper called Brooke in the satirical comedy movie alongside Garner, who portrays Laura Pickler, the ambitious wife of a skilled butter sculptor, reported Femalefirst.

"I would stare at smart Jennifer, who has three children and shepherded this project, and I'd follow her around in her arms if she'd let me," Wilde said.

Wilde also said the film was made for years but it was only when Garner, 40, showed an interest that the film got off the ground.

"I play Brooke, a sardonic stripper with a heart of gold... This outrageous comedy was on my list for years. I was obsessed with it. Willing to fight for the role.

 

"But I couldn't get it going on my own. Then along came Jennifer Garner, who has a production company and - voila! - it got made."
