So, if you're a fan of scrolling through the Internet, you'll have no doubt seen by now the buzz surrounding Harry Styles' upcoming film Don't Worry Darling, directed by his girlfriend Olivia Wilde. Now, following a 'ridiculous' rumour that Harry Styles 'spat' at his co-star Chris Pine at the film's premiere, Chris' representative has set the record straight on exactly what went down.

As well as previous talk about 'tensions' between the cast members, the latest Don't Worry Darling drama involved a rumour that Harry 'spat' at Chris, while taking his seat at the film's premiere at the Venice International Film Festival. Chris' rep has now slammed the rumours, deeming them 'ridiculous' and 'foolish speculation'.

In a statement obtained by Variety, Chris Pine's rep wrote: 'This is a ridiculous story — a complete fabrication and the result of 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.'

As well as his rep's statement, fans online have also been trying to clear up just what happened between Chris and Harry - with many convinced that Chris in fact dropped his marker pen, resulting in marking his beige trousers.

If you've been following Don't Worry Darling up to its release, you'll be aware of the alleged 'tensions' between Olivia Wilde and starring actress Florence Pugh. During the Venice International Film Festival premiere for the psychological thriller, Olivia was asked to 'clear the air' on the matter.

Olivia responded: "Florence is a force. We are so grateful she's able to make it tonight despite being in production on Dune. I know, as a director, how disruptive it is to lose an actor even for a day, so I'm very grateful to her, and to Denis Villeneuve for helping us. And we'll get to celebrate her work tonight.

"I can't say how honoured I am to have her as our lead. She's amazing. As for all the endless tabloid gossip and all the noise out there, the internet feeds itself. I don't feel the need to contribute. I think it's sufficiently well-nourished."

Don't Worry Darling release date

Don't Worry Darling is set for release on 23rd September 2022.

The cast includes the likes of Harry Styles, Florence Pugh, Chris Pine, Gemma Chan, Nick Kroll and Olivia Wilde, who also directed the film.

Check out all of the TV shows and films Harry Styles has been in:

iCarly (2012)

Back in the One Direction glory days, the boys delighted Nickelodeon fans when they appeared in the fifth season of iCarly in 2012, in an episode aptly named 'iGo One Direction'.

Saturday Night Live (2012 - 2019)

Both as part of One Direction and solo, Harry Styles has appeared on Saturday Night Live - five times in total between 2012 and 2019.

One Direction This Is Us (2013)

So we know there's no acting involved in this one, but One Direction had their fair share of concert films. As well as 2013's One Direction This Is Us (a 3D documentary concert film), they also had One Direction: Where We Are – The Concert Film in 2014.

Family Guy (2016)

The ultimate honour - having yourself turned into a cartoon to feature on the hilarious animated show Family Guy. Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne and Harry Styles all appeared in a scene alongside Stewie Griffin, with both Louis and Liam's real voices featuring. The episode aired in 2016, which avid fans may notice due to Harry's signature long locks.

Dunkirk (2017)

In 2017, Harry took on a more serious role in the war film Dunkirk. Making his movie debut, Harry played the role of Alex, with the film director claiming the singer has an "old-fashioned face".

The Late Late Show with James Corden (2017/2019)

Harry appeared on The Late Late Show with James Corden in 2017 and 2019. Both times he appeared a guest host on the show, the first time was very last minute as James Corden's wife went into labour giving Harry just 2.5 hours notice to fill in!

Eternals (2021)

Harry caused quite the stir when he was featured in the end credits of Marvel film Eternals, with many excited at the prospect of him entering the Marvel universe. Introduced briefly as Eros, brother of Thanos, fans can't wait to see Harry return in later films.
