Florence Pugh amid Olivia Wilde fall-out, ‘limiting Don’t Worry Darling press tour’

Florence Pugh will limit her press tour for the upcoming thriller Don’t Worry Darling, according to reports.

The Olivia Wilde-directed psychological thriller, starring Harry Styles and Chris Pine tells the story of a seemingly perfect suburban life in the 1950s.

However, cracks in Jack (Harry) and Alice’s (Florence) marriage begin to show when Alice is forced to question everything she’s known and whether the idealised community of Victory is real at all.

An official synopsis for the movie explains how Jack works for the top-secret Victory Project, spending all day in the headquarters with CEO Frank (Chris Pine) and the other husbands in the community.

However, reports claim that the Black widow actress, 26, is only promoting the film at the Venice Film Festival.

‘She’ll be doing greetings for us from the set of Dune because she’s not doing press,’ a New Line Cinema executive told The Wrap.

This comes after Page Six alleged that Florence and director Olivia clashed behind the scenes because her romance with global sensation Harry ‘didn’t go down too well’ with Florence.

When the first trailer for the film was released in May, it showed a scintillating moment in which Alice and Harry’s on-screen character engage in oral sex on a dining room table – and it was all fans on social media could talk about.

During a recent interview, Oxford actress Florence refused to speak about the scene and criticized viewers for reducing the film to just one sex scene.

‘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,’ she told Harper’s Bazaar.

Director Olivia Wilde also stars in the film

‘Obviously, the nature of hiring the most famous pop star in the world, you’re going to have conversations like that.

‘That’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.’

Former One Direction star Harry addressed the steamy scene earlier this year, saying it felt vulnerable and that he had never kissed anyone on screen before.

‘I think the most important thing in that stuff is trust,’ he said during an interview on The Howard Stern Show.

‘I think if you speak about it properly with everyone that’s involved [that helps].’

Metro.co.uk has reached out to Florence Pugh and Olivia Wilde’s reps for comment.

Don’t Worry Darling lands in cinemas on September 23.
