And SpitGate is officially over? In response to social media rumours that Harry Styles spat on his Don’t Worry, Darling co-star at the Venice Film Festival, Chris Pine’s representative issued a statement. According to a message from Us Weekly on Tuesday, September 6, “This is a stupid tale — a pure fiction and the consequence of a weird web illusion that is blatantly deceptive and allows for silly conjecture.” To be clear, Harry Styles was not spat on Chris Pine. Any idea that there is anything but respect between these two guys is an apparent effort to generate drama that just does not exist.
Don’t Stress On Monday, September 5, a video showing Pine’s response to Styles, 28, sitting next to him at the screening, caused Darling to make multiple headlines. While some on social media claim to have seen the “Watermelon Sugar” singer spit on the 42-year-old Star Trek actor, others insist Pine was just hunting for his sunglasses (which he inexplicably put on as the lights dimmed for the showing). In the now-viral video, Pine, seated between Olivia Wilde and Styles, chuckled and glanced down when he interrupted the ovation.
How did Harry Styles respond to Chris Pine’s disputes?
Additionally, footage from the Italian tour of the Princess Diaries 2 actress went viral. While some fans were fixated on the actor’s apparent indifference during the press conference and dubbed him “Disassociating Pine,” others were enamoured by his photographs of Florence Pugh on the red carpet.
As per Seventeen, Pugh decided not to discuss the movie during her short trip to Venice, even though Pine was there for the press event. The director played down any problems between the actress and Wilde on Monday, despite a source telling Us Weekly that the two had several “disagreements emotionally and professionally,” which is “why Florence isn’t doing any promotion for the movie.”
Wilde told reporters at the festival, “Florence is a powerhouse, and we are so thrilled that she is able to attend it tonight despite being in production on Dune. “I’m thankful to her and to [director of Dune] Denis Villeneuve for supporting us since I know how disruptive it is to lose an actress, even for a day. And we’re thrilled to be able to honour her work tonight. I can’t express my gratitude for having her as our leader. She is fantastic in the movie.
“As for all the commotion out there and the never-ending tabloid rumours, the internet feeds itself,” she said. I don’t need to give since I believe it is fully fed.
Wilde, who has been romantically associated with Styles since January 2021, has previously refuted claims that Styles and Pugh get different pay scales. While the former Disney star claimed Shia LaBeouf departed over rehearsal time, she also claimed she sacked him from the film to safeguard the set.
