As if the behind-the-scenes drama on the Don’t Worry Darling set hasn’t been awkward enough with the film’s premiere in Venice, a possible new wrinkle has surfaced.
One of the numerous videos surfacing from the Don’t Worry Darling premiere at Venezia shows Chris Pine in his seat, with director Olivia Wilde on his right and Harry Styles walking up to his seat on Pine’s left.
Many fans are now speculating on social media that, while Styles was taking his seat, the pop star appears to spit in Pine’s lap, which caused him to stop clapping and start laughing.

Neither Pine nor Styles have commented publicly on the supposed incident, though this theory has no shortage of support on Twitter.
The short clip begins with fans applauding as Styles walks to his seat on Pine’s left, as both Pine and Wilde are seen clapping and smiling.
When Styles gets to his seat, he slightly bends over Pine before sitting down, a motion which some have speculated is Styles spitting on Pine.

Immediately after Styles made that motion, Pine abruptly stops clapping and looks to his lap before he starts laughing as the brief video comes to an end.
Another video from Variety’s Ramin Setoodeh shows another angle of Styles taking his seat, and seemingly lasts a few seconds longer.
This video also appears to show Pine and Styles chatting briefly, though it isn’t heard or seen what was said.

The singer-turned-actor seems to be having a relatively polite conversation with his costar, which seems as if it would be unlikely if he had just spat on him.
The videos caused quite a stir among many on Twitter, with even Setoodeh himself adding more speculative fuel to the fire with a quote-retweet of his own tweet, hours after the video was taken.
‘Coming from the #DontWorryDarling premiere tonight, this is all I can say: There are no trash cans in the Sala Grande — not in the lobby or in the mezzanine where these seats are located. So hypothetically, if you were chewing a piece of gum, there’d be no place to put it,’ Setoodeh said.
