When asked at a Venice press conference whether Wilde can “clear the air” about the rumors surrounding the strained relationship between her and Florence Pugh, the director said: “Florence is a force. We are so grateful she’s able to make it tonight [for the red carpet]. I’m grateful to her, and to [‘Dune’ director Denis Villeneuve] for helping us. I can’t say how honored I am to have her as our lead.
“As for all the endless tabloid gossip out there, the Internet feeds itself. I don’t feel the need to contribute; I think it’s sufficiently self-nourished,” said Wilde.
The Hollywood Reporter then attempted to ask about Shia LaBeouf, only for the moderator to shut it down, claiming that she had “already answered that” in relation to “internet noise.”
Harry Styles acknowledged the “dark side” of social media. “There’s a lot of negative sides,” he said, “They’re pretty obvious for anyone to see. But it’s always important to remember there are positive things happening in the world because of it as well.”
As well as praising his fans, he noted, of his career shift, “Music and acting opposite in a lot of ways, making music is a really personal thing and there are aspects of acting where you’re drawing from experience, but for the most part pretending to play someone else. That’s what I find the most fun about it. What I like about acting is I feel like I have no idea what I’m doing.” Oh, and it shows.
