Olivia Wilde spends time with her brother Charlie Cockburn in NYC after joining SAG-AFTRA picket

Olivia Wilde was pictured visiting her brother Charlie Philip Cockburn in New York City on Sunday, days after joining her colleagues on the SAG-AFTRA strike line.

The actress and filmmaker, 39, was dressed in a cream quilted jacket over a black top with navy trousers and dark sneakers.

The New York native completed her ensemble with a brown leather bag as she parted her dark blonde locks on the summer day in the Big Apple.

Charlie, who is a photographer by trade, wore a black shirt with navy blue pants and white sneakers on the outing.

He was seen helping his older sibling with bags of luggage when it appeared she was preparing to travel to open the new week. The siblings were also seen hugging after the visit.

The Don’t Worry Darling star/director has documented her past visits with her brother on social media. In May, the pair were spotted dining in Los Angeles in a post she shared to Instagram Stories, in which she wrote, “Bro… That’s my bro.”

The Booksmart filmmaker was one of the A-list stars who lent their support to the new SAG-AFTRA strike in New York City on Friday.

Wilde – who was seen out on the town last week – wore all black and held one of the ‘SAG-AFTRA ON STRIKE!’ characters.

“My heart goes out to everyone who was forced to stop working because the AMPTP doesn’t recognize our basic value,” she said in an Instagram Stories post, adding that she has been a member of SAG-AFTRA for 21 years. “It’s a real shame that they put us all in this position.

“But we can’t settle for leftovers out of desperation. The contract simply needs to reflect the huge shifts in the industry since the last negotiations.”

She ended by saying, “The jig is UP.” Pay people for their work. Greed is dirty. #unionstrong.’

The Booksmart director looked chic as she wore square cat eye sunglasses. Her highlighted golden blonde hair was worn loose and fell over her shoulder in a cut with shaggy curtain bangs.

Wilde, who shares kids Otis, nine, and Daisy, six, with ex Jason Sudeikis, 47, went makeup-free under the shades while standing in solidarity with her fellow artists.

The union – which stands for Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists – announced on Thursday that its leadership had officially voted to join screenwriters in the first joint strike in over six decades.

It came after the collective, which represents about 160,000 actors and entertainers, failed to reach a deal with studios in negotiations over better pay and benefits.

The strike officially began at midnight and comes after entertainers’ demands for higher wages and protection against artificial intelligence were not met.

Under the rules of a SAG-AFTRA strike, members are not allowed to film movies or TV series, participate in press or movie premieres, or promote anything at this month’s San Diego Comic-Con.

The announcement marks the first strike for film and television show actors since 1980.

It is also the first time that two major Hollywood unions have gone on strike since 1960, when Ronald Reagan was president of the actor’s guild.

The strike will affect Disney’s Avatar and Lion King sequels, as well as shows that were slated to return to television in the fall, such as The Simpsons.

Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, SAG-AFTRA’s national executive director and chief negotiator for its collective bargaining agreement, said on Thursday the dead-end talks with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers left the union “no choice” but to leave ahead with a blow .

In addition to protesting, Olivia also used social media on Thursday afternoon to show her support.

The actress shared a story with her 4.2 million Instagram followers that read, “You share the wealth because you can’t exist without us.”

She tagged actress Fran Drescher – who is the president of SAG-AFTRA – and added “#unionstrong.”

Wilde had previously supported the Writers Guild of America strike, which began in May.

She took to her social media platform to share a black and white photo of her and her two children holding placards.

The star wrote in the caption, “Core memories include learning about corporate greed, even if you want to love Netflix.”

“It came with great sadness that we came to this crossroads. We had no choice,” Drescher said in an impassioned speech on Thursday.

“We are the victims here. We are falling victim to a very greedy entity. I am appalled by the way the people we have done business with are treating us,” she added.

“I honestly can’t believe how far apart we are on so many points. How they advocate poverty that they are losing money left and right while giving hundreds of millions of dollars to CEOs,” the former Nanny star stressed.

She added, “It’s disgusting. They should be ashamed. They’re on the wrong side of history right now.”

George Clooney is one of the Hollywood heavyweights who have spoken out on the strike.

The 62-year-old filmmaker issued a statement to ET, describing the move as a turning point in Hollywood history.

The longtime artist stated, “This is a turning point in our industry. Large numbers of actors and writers have lost their ability to make a living. For our industry to survive, that needs to change. For actors, that journey begins now.’
