Chris Pine's representative confirms Harry Styles did not spit on the actor: 'This is a ridiculous story'

A video of Harry Styles seemingly spitting on Chris Pine’s lap at the ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ premiere during the Venice Film Festival surfaced online and created a lot of buzz. Hours after the netizens debated on the incident, Pine’s representative issued a statement, confirming that Styles did not spit on his co-star.

In a statement to People.com, he called the story ‘ridiculous and ‘a complete fabrication’ which resulted in an ‘odd online illusion that is clearly deceiving and allows for foolish speculation.’

'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,' he added.

‘Don’t Worry Darling’ premiered at the Venice Film Festival on September 5. Styles and Pine attended the event, along with co-star Florence Pugh and director Olivia Wilde.

The forthcoming film has generated a lot of news lately. Earlier, it was reported that there was a feud between Olivia Wilde and Florence Pugh.

‘Don't Worry Darling’ will release in theaters on September 23, 2022.
