'Harry Styles spat at Chris Pine!' - A look back at the bizarre incident that outshined 'Don’t Worry Darling' premiere

Blink and you'll miss it, but remember that one TikTok clip that took the internet by storm back in September 2022? Yes, we're talking about the infamous 'Don’t Worry Darling' premiere where Harry Styles allegedly spat at none other than Chris Pine!

"The Film Marooned in a Desert of Unoriginality"

'Don’t Worry Darling' didn't necessarily wow the audience or the critics with its ingenuity, with the BBC calling it "an empty shell". On top of that, the film's journey was mired with its own share of drama. Reports had emerged that Florence Pugh, the star of the movie, was involved in a feud with the director, Olivia Wilde, and had pulled back from promoting the movie. Things went from bad to worse when Shia LaBeouf was fired by Wilde, only to be begged to return.

"Chris Pine in the Eye of the Storm"

However, this storm didn't deter the star-studded premiere in Venice. All eyes were on the stars looking to salvage the movie's reputation. Enter Harry Styles, sporting a blue suit, who paused to glance at Chris Pine, causing a stir on the internet. Pine, looking taken aback, became the center of speculation.

"Did Harry Styles just spit on Chris Pine?" - a quote that echoed across social media.

So, what really happened? Was this a simple misunderstanding, an elaborate in-joke between two stars, or a new chapter in the 'Don’t Worry Darling' drama saga?

Supporting evidence for this alleged spit-gate isn't strong. However, a video of Pine appearing distracted during a promotional interview alongside Styles fueled further speculation. Was this just after a backstage brawl? Or maybe we're all just looking too hard at that seven-second clip.

At this point, it's worth asking if the movie even matters. With the internet buzzing about this unexpected incident, who needs to worry about the reception of the film when the real drama is happening off-screen? After all, a few seconds of Harry Styles spitting at Chris Pine seemed to garner more attention than the entire movie!
