Newsfeeds everywhere have been saturated by a saga involving the soon-to-be-released film Don’t Worry Darling. There are many theories/memes to sift through, so let’s break it down… The film is directed by actor Olivia Wilde and stars pop icon Harry Styles and Florence Pugh. It premiered at the Venice Film Festival this week, but the drama started long before then. Controversial actor Shia LaBeouf – who was originally cast as a lead – was fired and replaced by the British-accented Styles in 2020 – although he says he quit, and released footage of Wilde asking him to stay. Rumours swirled after Wilde broke up with her longtime partner, Ted Lasso’s Jason Sudeikis, later that year and started up with Styles. It’s claimed the alleged infidelity did not sit well with Pugh, and some say she’s been an unenthusiastic participant in promoting the film. Fast forward to the premiere, and there were new rumours that Styles and co-star Chris Pine were feuding after a chaotic presser and an alleged spitting incident. But don’t worry, the latter didn’t actually happen
