Chris Pine is setting “#spitgate” straight.
The actor addressed allegations that co-star Harry Styles spit at him at the “Don’t Worry Darling” Venice premiere in a TikTok video with Esquire released Wednesday.

The video, posted months after the initial rumors circled, is captioned “settling the #spitgate debate once and for all.”
“He didn’t spit on me,” Pine said in the video. “I think what he says he leaned down and I think he said, ‘it’s just words, isn’t it?’ Because we had this little joke – because we’re all jet lagged, we’re all trying to answer these questions. And sometimes when you’re doing these press things, your brain goes up befuddled and started speaking gibberish and we had a joke.”

What happened to prompt the rumors that Styles spit on Pine?
The “Darling” debacle happened at the Venice Film Festival premiere of the film, where several audience members captured video of Styles returning to his seat next to Pine and appearing to allegedly spit on his co-star’s hand.
Social media treated it like the Zapruder film, as users dissected and looked at different angles of the video and offered their own – ahem – spit take.
While Pine seemed to stop clapping as the spit allegedly happened and smiled, hinting it might be an inside joke between buds, Pine’s representative told People at the time that it was “a ridiculous story” and, at least in this instance, the spit did not hit the fan: “There is nothing but respect between these two men and any suggestion otherwise is a blatant attempt to create drama that simply does not exist.”
Styles joked about the brouhaha during a Sept. 7 concert at Madison Square Garden, saying, “It’s wonderful, wonderful, wonderful to be back in New York. I just popped very quickly to Venice to spit on Chris Pine.”

Wilde addressed Spitgate on “Colbert” as well, calling it “another one of our weird rumors.”
“People will look for drama anywhere they can. Harry did not spit on Chris,” Wilde said, noting that people “see what they want to see” even if video evidence showed otherwise. “He really didn’t.”
The drama didn’t stop with ‘Don’t Worry Darling’
“Don’t Worry Darling” was certainly central to a litany of drama before its release.
Oral sex scenes in the movie trailer. The director was hit with legal papers onstage at CinemaCon. Said director reportedly was dating one of her stars and maybe feuding with the other. A purportedly fired actor hit back at the filmmaker.
All that scandalous hubbub was more scintillating than what actually happened on screen in the twisty and visually striking but fairly flat psychological thriller.
