<\/noscript> <\/div>\nNick Kroll joked Monday on The Tonight Show that he was the ‘mastermind’ behind drama dogging his film Don’t Worry Darling. He said he told Harry Styles to ‘spit’ on Chris Pine; seen September 5 in Venice <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
After recommending the audience know as little about Don’t Worry Darling as possible before seeing it so as to get swept up in its twists, Nick joked that he wanted to drum up interest in the movie.<\/p>\n
‘So I decided, let’s create a lot of buzz around the film \u2014 but not about the film itself,’ he deadpanned to laughter and claps from the Tonight Show audience.<\/p>\n
‘I’m the puppeteer,’ he added. ‘And so, I’m like, “Hey, Harry, you know what would be a great idea? When you walk into the premiere at Venice, spit on Chris Pine.”‘<\/p>\n
But then Kroll joked that he tried to go for something even more dramatic.<\/p>\n

‘”Maybe you should just, you know, give me a kiss,”‘ he joked, while one woman in the audience howled with approval as Jimmy held up a photo of the premiere kiss.<\/p>\n
‘And then I asked him to spit in my mouth,’ Kroll added. ‘He wouldn’t do that! The guy’s got boundaries.’<\/p>\n
‘But it ended up working!’ he said before wrapping up the segment. <\/p>\n

<\/noscript> <\/div>\nConflict: Rumors of tensions between star Florence Pugh and director Olivia Wilde (pictured next to Nick) have dogged Don’t Worry Darling<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Although Nick tried to make light of it, Don’t Worry Darling hasn’t been able to shake rumors of tensions on and off set.<\/p>\n
Its lead, Florence Pugh, has refused to do much publicity for the film, and skipped a press conference at Venice, despite photos later revealing that she was in the area when it was going on.<\/p>\n
The Little Women star reportedly was made uncomfortable by Wilde’s burgeoning relationship with her costar Harry Styles, though Wilde claimed in her Vanity Fair cover story that her relationship with her long-time partner Jason Sudeikis was over before she even met Styles.<\/p>\n
In recent weeks, Shia LaBeouf has also found himself involved in the seemingly never-ending drama. He was originally cast in the movie as Florence’s on-screen husband, before he was replaced by Harry.<\/p>\n
After abuse were leveled against the Honey Boy actor by his former twigs, Olivia later claimed that she had fired him from the production due to his conduct on set.<\/p>\n
She doubled down on those claims in the Vanity Fair profile, explaining, ‘My responsibility was towards her. I’m like a mother wolf. Making the call was tricky, but in a way he understood. I don’t think it would’ve been a process he enjoyed. He comes at his work with an intensity that can be combative. It wasn’t the ethos that I demand in my productions.’<\/p>\n
She added, ‘I want him to get well and to evolve because I think it’s a great loss to the film industry when someone that talented is unable to work.’<\/p>\n

<\/noscript> <\/div>\n<\/div>\nWar of words: Olivia previously claimed after abuse against Shi LaBeouf came to light that she fired him from her film, but he claimed to have quit, with a leaked video and emails he allegedly sent her appearing to bolster his claim<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
But late last month, Shia denied her claims that she had fired him, instead claiming that he quit the project.<\/p>\n
A video that was later leaked to social media appeared to bolster his contention that he was not fired.<\/p>\n
The clip, which was filmed in a car, appeared to show Olivia begging the actor to stay with her movie, while referring to Florence as ‘Miss Flo,’ which some fans have found to be demeaning. <\/p>\n
Shia further explained his exit from the movie, alleging that he left due to what he thought was inadequate rehearsal time, while sharing two emails to Variety that he claimed to have written to Olivia recently.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
