Hollywood is infamous for feuds between artists and one that gained a lot of traction last year was surrounding Olivia Wilde and Marvel star Florence Pugh. While Wilde was the director, Pugh was her lead star opposite the One Direction fame Harry Styles. The reports of their feuds garnered attention last year, and they are back again as new rumors have swelled up claiming Wilde would often abandon the film site in order to spend time with her then-partner, Styles.
Don’t Worry Darling featured Florence Pugh opposite Harry Styles in the 2022 thriller horror, directed by Olivia Wilde. While the movie did not gain significant attention, what happened on the sets seems to have become a more popular feat. It was reported by multiple sources that Wilde and Pugh were involved in an on-set feud. And the reason was that the Her star would disappear from time to time with her then-boyfriend Harry Styles.
During this time, Florence Pugh had to often take over the directing part since the director herself would be missing from the sets. However, a new source has claimed that it was in fact Matthew Libatique, the movie’s Director of Photography, who would end up directing multiple scenes during Wilde’s disappearance.
“On the days Wilde disappeared, Florence [Pugh] and Matthew [Libatique] were in charge but I’d say it was more Matthew who kept the shoot rolling. They couldn’t really afford to have the movie shut down so he tried to follow Olivia’s vision as much as he could. Once Olivia got back on set, as if nothing had happened, that’s when Pugh lost it on her.
