Actress and director Olivia Wilde was a guest on CBS’ late-night show just days before her film’s expected release Don’t Worry Darlingwhich also stars Harry Styles, Florence Pugh and Chris Pine.
First, contrary to what some images may have suggested, Harry Styles did not spit on Chris Pine during the screening of the film at the Venice Film Festival, she insisted. “In fact, he didn’t. But it’s a perfect example of what people are going to do to find drama where they can. Chris Pine’s agency had also denied the alleged spat in the days that followed.
Olivia Wilde also explained about the departure of Shia LaBeouf, replaced by Harry Styles. LaBeouf claimed to have left the project, while the production said to have thanked him. “Listen, I tried to mediate between Florence and Shia, but when I realized that the working relationship between them was not possible, I chose my actress and I don’t regret it. »
Finally, Olivia Wilde defended herself for having had a tense relationship with actress Florence Pugh. “I have nothing but respect for Florence’s talent, she is fantastic. She is currently on the set of Dunes and i think there’s nothing cooler than a busy actress [busy]. I have nothing against her. »
The director said she wishes her male colleagues never had to answer so many questions related to the distribution of their films, and that they can focus on the film itself when promoting. “Unfortunately, on these issues, there are double standards between men and women,” she said.
