Chris Pine’s rep slams Harry Styles spit allegations

[ad_1]

Don’t Worry Darling star Chris Pine’s representative has squashed those Harry Styles allegations.

Fresh out of yesterday’s (September 5) Venice International Film Festival premiere for the pair’s new psychological thriller – headlined by the mighty Florence Pugh – a member of the crowd videoed the moment Styles sat down next to Pine in the screening theater.

According to many social media users, the singer-cum-actor could be seen casually spitting on his colleague while taking a seat.

“This is a ridiculous story — a complete fabrication and the result of an odd online illusion that is clearly deceiving and allows for foolish speculation,” Pine’s rep wrote in a statement obtained by Variety.

“Just to be clear, Harry Styles did not spit on Chris Pine. There is nothing but respect between these two men and any suggestion otherwise is a blatant attempt to create drama that simply does not exist.”

For those who have kept a close eye on the Don’t Worry Darling goings-on of late, you’ll know that “drama” is a particularly relevant term.

At her movie’s press conference in Venice, director Olivia Wilde was asked to “clear the air” about the Pugh feud rumours.

“Florence is a force,” she stated in front of the press. “We are so grateful she’s able to make it tonight [for the red carpet] despite being in production on Dune [Part 2]. I know, as a director, how disruptive it is to lose an actor even for a day, so I’m very grateful to her, and to [director] Denis Villeneuve for helping us. And we’ll get to celebrate her work tonight.

“I can’t say how honored I am to have her as our lead. She’s amazing. As for all the endless tabloid gossip and all the noise out there, the internet feeds itself. I don’t feel the need to contribute. I think it’s sufficiently well-nourished.”

Don’t Worry Darling hits cinemas on September 23.
