Olivia Wilde addresses fallout from Harry Styles romance
Wilde said media attention and rumors diverted focus from the film’s story and cast, and she said the project was hurt by the fallout.
- On The Louis Theroux Podcast, 42-year-old director Olivia Wilde said media coverage of her relationship with co-star Harry Styles "did hurt the film" Don't Worry Darling, affecting both the project and herself personally.
- The 2022 thriller faced significant challenges as its release was overshadowed by rumors of on-set conflict with Florence Pugh and Wilde's concurrent public separation from ex-husband Jason Sudeikis.
- Wilde explained the negative publicity prevented meaningful discussion about the $30 million production, which featured cinematographer Matty Libatique and production designer Katie Byron's work during the depths of Covid.
- Reflecting on the "tornado" of headlines, Wilde now feels the experience has been "healing" and gained perspective; she is currently promoting her latest directorial project, The Invite, featuring Seth Rogen and Penelope Cruz.
- Returning to the press cycle, Wilde acknowledged her past naivety about the "grinder, the garbage disposal that the internet can be," while finding current conversations about her work "so wonderfully interesting.
