Olivia Wilde's reported boyf Harry Styles has been the talk of 2022, having unleashed Harry's House and its ensuing tour on the world — not to mention his starring role in Wilde's forthcoming second feature film Don't Worry Darling. While Styles's in-film wifey Florence Pugh definitely buys into the Harry hype, she's also respectfully asking his stans to be less horny about their sex scenes.
Aside from the trailer debuting back in May, much else about Don't Worry Darling is being kept under wraps. However, it's clear from the teasers that we're due for some pretty explicit sexual content. Sure, there's a bunch of other intriguing things going on in the trailer, but in Pugh's experience, everyone seems to have zeroed in on that one specific watermelon-flavoured element.
"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," she told Harper's Bazaar in a new interview. She added, "It's not why I'm in this industry."
The film, in which Pugh and Styles star as wife and husband, follows the strange occurrences of their 1950s-set company town of Victory. Pugh's character attempts to unravel the mystery of her husband's employer, and, in addition to a ton of surreal violence and Chris Pine looking like a prototypical Leonardo DiCaprio-played villain, it looks like things are bound to get hot and heavy.
"Obviously, the nature of hiring the most famous pop star in the world, you're going to have conversations like that," Pugh said of the horny discourse surrounding the film. "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."
Don't Worry Darling is due in theatres on September 23. Starring alongside Pugh, Wilde, Styles and Pine are Gemma Chan, KiKi Layne, Nick Kroll, Kate Berlant and Timothy Simons.
