In the film, she played the girlfriend of Hugh Grant's character. In an article for Bnet, Studd said that the pair came close to kissing; "So one day when we were walking home with him, I said: 'Hugh, if I'm going to play your girlfriend convincingly, I really should know what it's like to kiss you.' He agreed, and we were just going to kiss for the first time when a friend of his interrupted us." Grant has said that, in a sense, he owes his entire career to Studd; "The first time I was in front of a camera was when I was at Oxford University and we did a very pretentious student film, I didn't have any goal apart from having sex with a girl called Victoria Studd who was in the film. It was the only reason that I did it."
