Harry Styles has broken his silence on a viral video which appeared to show him ‘spitting’ on co-star Chris Pine, as he returned to his world tour in New York.
In footage film by fans during the former One Direction star’s concert at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday, Harry jokes he “went to Venice to spit on Chris Pine.” The bizarre rumour begain circulating on Monday when Harry attended the Venice Film Festival for the premiere of Olivia Wilde’s psychological thriller Don’t Worry Darling, in which he stars alongside Chris and Florence Pugh.
In the video which caused uproar on social media, Harry was seen taking his seat at the screening and making a spitting motion towards Chris, as a spitting sound can also be heard. Star Trek actor Chris then freezes in apparent confusion, though seemingly amused.
