No film has been bogged down by its media rollout like Don’t Worry Darling was by the time it premiered at the Venice Film Festival this past week. As the film itself has gotten middling reviews, the drama surrounding has been spectacular: a string of hot goss, dank memes, and one major celebrity potentially spitting on another in a crowded room. At this point, it only makes sense for the stars to embrace the chaos themselves.
The film’s co-star Harry Styles joined the fun on Wednesday night, at his at one of his Harry’s House concerts at New York City’s Madison Square Garden. “I just popped very quickly to Venice to spit on Chris Pine,” he quipped, as the crowd roared. His comments were a response to a video of a fleeting moment that had the Internet in a days-long frenzy: the cast of Don’t Worry Darling attended a premiere for the film in Venice, and as Styles sat down by co-star Chris Pine, he appeared to spit in Pine’s lap, with Pine reacting in exasperation.
