American pop star Harry Styles has addressed speculations about him spitting on his Don’t Worry Darling co-star Chris Pine.
In a video that has now gone viral, netizens and viewers believe that Styles spat on Pine as he took his seat next to him at the premiere of their film. The incident took place on Monday in Venice, Italy.
The clip began circulating online with Styles taking his seat next to Pine. Pine can be seen seated to the left of the movie’s director Olivia Wilde.
In the video, Styles can be seen bending to take his seat while his lips move before Pine looks down and stops clapping. This is where viewers speculate that Styles spat on his co-star. Pine can then be seen shaking his head slightly and giggling as he reaches down and grabs his sunglasses placed between legs and looks amused.
Harry Styles jokes about spitting on Chris Pine at the Venice premiere
At a Madison Square Garden concert, Harry Styles addressed the speculation and jokingly said:
“This is our tenth show at Madison Square Garden. It’s wonderful, wonderful, wonderful to be back in New York. I just popped very quickly to Venice to spit on Chris Pine.”
It was Harry Styles' 10th show at the venue where he performed his hits from his latest album Harry’s House. These included tracks like Day Dreaming, As It Was, Late Night Talking and Music For A Sushi Restaurant. The As It Was singer has scheduled another run of UK dates in 2023 with four nights lined up at Wembley Stadium.
Variety quoted Pine’s representatives who rubbished the claims and said:
“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.”
