Harry Styles Just Gave a Rare Interview About Working With Olivia Wilde

A rare WildeStyle comment! When Harry Styles, a former One Direction heartthrob, spoke about working with Olivia Wilde on their upcoming thriller, he had nothing but praise to offer for Olivia Wilde, actor-director. Don’t Worry Darling.

Don’t Worry Darling, Wilde’s follow-up to her critically acclaimed debut Booksmart, follows Styles and Florence Pugh as a married couple whose idyllic Cold War life isn’t quite what it appears to be. It’s the first lead role for Styles, who dipped his toe into acting with a small part in DunkirkRecently, it was incorporated into the MCU. 

But most important (for this story’s purposes, at least), the film is where Wilde and Styles met. Styles was just coming off a split with Jason Sudeikis, her long-term partner. The next thing you know, Styles was cast as a celebrity couple!

“I had a wonderful experience being directed by Olivia,” Harry Styles recently told Howard Stern, per Page Six. “Acting is kind of very uncomfortable at times. Trust is essential. It requires a lot of trust if you want to kind of give it everything, and I think being able to trust your director is a gift, so that was very helpful.”
