For the past two years, the world has been consumed by Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde<\/a>\u2019s relationship, which began when they worked alongside each other on the set of the upcoming thriller, Don\u2019t Worry, Darling<\/em>: Styles in a supporting role and Wilde in the director’s seat. In the middle of it all was the film\u2019s lead, Florence Pugh<\/a>, who, in recent months, as its press circuit has begun ahead of its September release, has appeared to snub any and all mentions of the project<\/a> on social media. This activity \u2014 or lack thereof \u2014 added to recent gossip of some sort of tension between Pugh and Wilde that began, as all celebrity gossip today seems to, with anonymous submissions to @DeuxMoi.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, in a just-released cover interview for Harper\u2019s BAZAAR<\/em><\/a>, Pugh has spoken out for the first time since the feud rumors started, opening up about being cast alongside the world\u2019s most famous \u2014 and lusted after \u2014 man. For her part, Pugh says the hype around Styles is distracting from the true focus: the film and art the pair, and everyone else who worked on the movie, created.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Back in May, when Don\u2019t Worry, Darling\u2019s<\/em> trailer was released, much of the conversation surrounded a steamy sex scene between Pugh and Styles, who play husband and wife on screen. Addressing the conversation, Pugh says, <\/span>“When it’s reduced to your sex scenes, or to watch the most famous man in the world go down on someone, it’s not why we do it. It’s not why I’m in this industry.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“Obviously, the nature of hiring the most famous pop star in the world, you’re going to have conversations like that,\u201d she continued, referring to Wilde\u2019s last-minute decision to recast the original actor, Shia LeBeouf, with Styles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat’s just not what I’m going to be discussing because [this movie is] bigger and better than that. And the people who made it are bigger and better than that.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Pugh made no mention of her relationship with Styles or Wilde off-set, but fans have noticed she didn\u2019t like nor share Wilde\u2019s Instagram post praising her for her acting last month, nor share any publicity materials for the film when Wilde did. Four days ago, Pugh did post the film poster, writing, “Not everyone gets this opportunity\u2026\u201d Not long now! Only in theatres September 23rd #dontworrydarling”<\/span><\/p>\n
