Did Florence Pugh And Olivia Wilde Really Have A Falling-Out Over Harry Styles?
"Midsommar" star Florence Pugh is becoming a big force to be reckoned with in Hollywood after adding a few brilliant blossoms to her floral crown: working with Greta Gerwig in the "Little Women" movie, joining the MCU in "Black Widow," and securing a role in the "Dune" sequel. But while her accomplishments continue piling up, she's apparently realized what will be at the forefront of many interviewers' minds as the premiere date of her movie "Don't Worry Darling" draws closer: obtaining a soundbite about her co-star Harry Styles.
At a Tiffany & Co. exhibition opening, London Live asked Pugh what it was like to work with the former One Direction member. "Obviously, everybody is going to be asking that question. But a total professional, and it was a great experience working together," she said. Pugh had to work closely with Styles, as they play husband and wife in the psychological thriller. Originally, Pugh's spouse was going to be portrayed by Shia LaBeouf, but insiders told Variety that director Olivia Wilde fired him and replaced him with Styles because she and other members of the cast found his behavior objectionable. Wilde and Styles then started dating, grabbing more headlines with a story that threatened to overshadow the film itself.
Yet another narrative gripped TikTok when one user created a viral video pointing out that Pugh has done little to promote "Don't Worry Darling," and now an insider has stepped forward to claim Pugh and Wilde are feuding over Styles.
Why Florence Pugh is reportedly upset about Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles' relationship
Before Harry Styles joined the cast of "Don't Worry Darling," Florence Pugh and Olivia Wilde seemed to be on excellent terms. "Olivia Wilde is my idol and allowed me to be a part of this fecking incredible cast. Shia?!? Chris?!?" Pugh wrote on Instagram in April 2020. Two years later, one of her followers wrote in the comments section, "The fact that u were so excited and now it's just crickets ... something must've gone so wrong."
An insider spoke to Page Six about why working with Wilde purportedly left a bad taste in Pugh's mouth. "I can tell you for a fact that Flo seeing Olivia and Harry all over each other on set did not go down well as Olivia was still with Jason [Sudeikis] when she first hooked up with Harry," the insider claimed. Us Weekly spoke to sources who told conflicting stories about whether Styles had anything to do with Sudeikis and Wilde calling off their engagement, but Sudeikis didn't assign blame to the singer when he spoke about the split to GQ, saying instead he wasn't certain why it happened.
Pugh's boyfriend, Zach Braff, directed Sudeikis in an episode of "Ted Lasso," and Pugh appears to be a fan of Wilde's ex — a TikTok user shared a screenshot of Pugh openly rooting for Sudeikis to win a Golden Globe on her Instagram Story. "Go Jason Go!!!" she wrote.
