If you have TikTok, Twitter, or some other social network, there’s a good chance you’ve seen the same video over and over in the last 24 hours: a picture of Harry Styles allegedly referencing the costar of Don’t Worry Honey” spat Chris Kiefer.
The spotting would have taken place this Monday (5) at the 79th Venice International Film Festival during the world premiere of the feature film. In the clip, posted by Twitter user JZMaclin, Styles “apparently” spits at Chris as he sits next to the actor in the Great Room. For his part, Chris looks down at his lap (which some believe is the moment he notices the spit), laughs before stopping clapping, bending down and grabbing his sunglasses between his legs. The caption reads, “Harry Styles appears to be spitting on Chris Pine I won’t sleep until I know the truth.”

However, the ‘Star Trek’ star still seems to be having fun and keeps a smile on her face the whole time. The picture naturally went viral on social media within hours, sparking debate between the general public and the Brit’s fandom. With over 9 million views, many netizens claimed Styles “definitely spat on” his colleague. Others refuted the accusation, saying Pine stopped applauding because he thought the singer was addressing Olivia Wilde, affair director of the Long, who was sitting in the next chair, which didn’t happen and ended up creating a climate.

In the last few hours, netizens have scoured all four corners of the web, looking for different angles of the “controversial” moment. Though no spit is seen in the clip, the internet was quick to speculate as to what it saw. Some even slowed down the frames to catch Style’s saliva “in action”, but it was clear the spitting wasn’t actually occurring! Check it out below:

Chris yearns for the applause right where his sunglasses were. And he tuned out (like he’s been doing all day) and realized it’s in his lap. So I’m sorry to say Harry Styles didn’t spit on him. pic.twitter.com/7b4GoCvnHJ

history of controversy
Due to the rumors surrounding the production, particularly the feud between lead actor Florence Pugh and Wilde, many speculated that it was possible Pine and Styles had a falling out as well.
The chatter escalated even more after the two did a series of interviews together in Venice, during which the DC star appeared to “travel” while the voice of “As It Was” answered the press’s constant questions. “What the heck happened on that set?” a Twitter user captioned JZMaclin’s post, citing the backstage controversy of Don’t Worry Darling.
Pine and Styles officials have not yet responded to international media requests for clarification on the incident. It’s worth noting that Chris and Harry were recorded having an amusing conversation shortly after the momentous scene, with the Brit seemingly joking about his colleague’s “snooze”.

It’s kind of amazing when you think, “Oh yeah, maybe he spat on him, that would make more sense.” https://t.co/uT05IyDEaw
