No, Harry Styles did not spit on Chris Pine — but he does have enough of a sense of humor to crack jokes about the whole thing.
ICYMI: Earlier this week, a video of the cast at the Venice International Film Festival premiere of Don’t Worry Darling sent social media into a tail-spin when it appeared to many that the film’s leading man, Harry Styles, spat on his co-star Chris Pine. (More on that here.) A day later, a rep for Chris Pine fervently denied that the actor had been spat on by the “Watermelon Sugar” singer and insisted that there was nothing but respect between the two actors. Now, Harry is addressing the viral rumor himself.
On Wednesday, Harry returned to his month-long residency at New York City’s Madison Square Garden. During the concert, the popstar took some time to make a joke about the incident. “Wonderful to be back in New York,” Harry said in a video shared by a Harry Styles fanpage on Twitter. “I just popped very quickly to Venice to spit on Chris Pine. But fear not, we’re back.” The audience erupted in screams and laughter as Harry looked back to share a cheeky smile with his band.

Though the press circus around Don’t Worry Darling has only continued to intensify, we can only hope that everyone else involved in the rumored behind-the-scenes drama can laugh things off as well as Harry can.
