Body Language of Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis in Life & Style


Everything about their body language in this photo makes you smile. Jason is leaning in at 3:00 position with his shoulder.  A  shoulder lean that indicates this woman I feel totally relaxed being around. Though he seems to be blocking her getting in to close with his elbow he is actually using his right arm and curled to hold fingers to do a symbolic reach across his pelvis towards her across his pelvis. That combination says if there were not people around I would be doing more.  The eye contact and mutual smile they are giving the photographers show they want to be seen as a happy couple together. Olivia's head tilt and resting on him, and chin down eyes and smile up are so unusually coy and sweet.  Showing Jason makes her feel safe being a playful little girl with him and combined with her head resting on his shoulder and her lean in and hand around him to show she is smitten.  He is more into her at an athletic event than I typically see men be with their sweeties and if his arm was slightly different I would give them a five, but with that block I would give it a four.
