But no one anticipated spitting would enter the chat. (To be fair to Harry: You try uttering a single comprehensible sentence after playing nine nights at Madison Square Garden, then traveling internationally with bespoke-chic but extremely impractical luggage and see how articulate you sound.)īecause of the rumored drama on set and the actual drama in recent headlines, film Twitter and the general public were already prepared, if not downright eager, to see some strange interpersonal celebrity dynamics play out at this premiere. You can almost see the screams catching in his throat /AXtiPAd4zx- anna September 5, 2022

But in that clip of Pine listening to Styles say, “My favorite thing about the movie is, like, it feels like a movie,” you can absolutely see Pine’s soul leave his body. Perhaps more significant, another Styles-Pine collab went viral earlier on Monday, in which Styles gave a nonsensical answer to a reporter’s question while Pine sat beside him in silence, seemingly trying to beam himself to another location, a thing that, as Captain Kirk, I feel he should have some capacity to pull off? I continue to contend that there is no evidence of physical spit, slobber, or moisture of any kind in the Styles “spitting” video.

(Is it a coincidence that Pugh’s triumphant Aperol-spritz walk is vaguely reminiscent of Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s martini spin in the video for “Treat People With Kindness?” You tell me, social media, you tell me.) Earlier that day, there was drama surrounding Florence Pugh, the film’s star who skipped its press conference because of “scheduling conflicts” around the Dune sequel that seemed less than legitimate. I won’t recap that entire saga here, but there is plenty. Now, to be fair, the whole situation hovering around the Don’t Worry Darling Venice debut was rife with weirdness. #HarryStyles appears to spit on Chris Pine i won't sleep until i know the truth /wLXjIHTYgU- JZMaclin September 6, 2022 Okay, fine: There is an extremely inconclusive video of Styles taking his seat in the theater and slightly pursing his lips, at which point Pine looks into his lap and suddenly stops clapping, then flashes an expression that, to those with the imagination to interpret it this way, definitely said, Holy shit, the “Watermelon Sugar” guy just spit on me. The man’s motto is “Treat People With Kindness,” not “Spit on People With Malice.” Harry would never!īut the thing is, there’s footage of the incident. One’s immediate response - at least before spending six hours rewatching the clip of the alleged spitting from a variety of angles - was: No, of course not! The most beloved androgynously dressed mainstream pop star in the world absolutely would not have expelled saliva directly onto one of his Don’t Worry Darling co-stars and the indisputable Best Chris. On Monday, September 5, as Americans were attempting to ease their brains out of Labor Day weekend mode and back into the business of actual labor, the internet raised a question that will be debated forever in history and film classes: Did Harry Styles spit on Chris Pine at the Venice Film Festival premiere of Don’t Worry Darling?
