Florence Pugh wants Harry Styles’ fans to not be so horny for Don’t Worry Darling
Pugh says Olivia Wilde's film is "bigger and better than that"
Aux News Pugh
The initial trailer for Olivia Wilde’s forthcoming feature Don’t Worry Darling piqued the masses’ interest when it flashed sensual scenes depicting Harry Styles and Florence Pugh character’s waking up in bed next to each other and the pop star-actor performing cunnilingus on the dining room table. Now, Pugh chastises those who focused on the the sexual aspects of the trailer featuring one of the biggest names in pop instead of considering the other merits of the film.
“When it’s reduced to your sex scenes, or to watch the most famous man in the world go down on someone, it’s not why we do it,” Pugh tells Harper’s Bazaar in a new interview. “It’s not why I’m in this industry.”
Tsk tsk everyone! Shame on you, especially every young girl in Styles’ long-standing fandom. Of course, the film’s about other potent subjects, as Pugh’s character Alice finds herself caught up in a bit of a Stepford Wives scenario, and runs away from the “utopian” community she and Styles’ Jack sought their happy married life in.
For Pugh, when it comes to the sex scenes, it seems she rather answer questions pertaining to any other aspect of Don’t Worry Darling.
“Obviously, the nature of hiring the most famous pop star in the world, you’re going to have conversations like that,” Pugh continues. “That’s just not what I’m going to be discussing because [this movie is] bigger and better than that. And the people who made it are bigger and better than that.”
Don’t Worry Darling also stars Wilde, Gemma Chan, KiKi Layne, Nick Kroll, Kate Berlant, Timothy Simons, and Chris Pine. The film is set to make its world premiere at the 2022 Venice Film Festival before arriving in theaters on September 23. You can also see Styles simulate sexual acts in Michael Grandage’s My Policeman, which will debut on October 21.

“to watch the most famous man in the world go down on someone”“hiring the most famous pop star in the world”Is Florence Pugh his publicist or something? What’s up with the insane hyperbole?
It did seem like a weird choice of words. I’m perfectly willing to admit that I’m out of the loop on pop music these days but I would not have picked Styles as even in the top ten of the most famous pop stars to say nothing of “the most famous man in the world”.
Youre completely out to lunch if you think Harry Styles is not within the top 10 most famous pop stars in the world, he is arguably the most famous male pop star currently, maybe only beat out by Bad Bunny or Drake.
Seriously. This comments section is full of old men, and I say that as a Gen X/Xennial woman. I mean, even I know how famous Styles is. He’s fucking huge.
He most certainly is among the most famous men alive…to the growing subsection of consumers that matter more than us. But if every age group were added together, nah I’m not sure he’d crack the top ten. It would be full of people like The Rock or Will Smith.
The Rock? What is this, 2005?
That’s just it, if we’re polling the whole world, that includes a lot of people who’ve stopped watching movies and TV or listening to music. But they probably remember seeing him on a cover of People magazine at a checkout aisle.
Who is she even talking about? I don’t see Mick Jagger in the picture?!
I thought that was Hulk Hogan, brother! He is more famous than anyone! Brother!
Where the heck have you been since 1985…BRUTHUUURRR?!
😀
How Dare you, in 1987 he slammed 900 pound Andre the Giant 2 days before Andre died while breaking every bone in his body jack!Also she thinks Harry Styles is more Famous than Tom Cruise? Tom Cruise whose movie made a Billion+ dollars this year at age 75 while looking 50 years old! For shame! 🙂
My bad.She also thought Zach Braff was desirable. Clearly the kid’s taste is in her mouth.
lol, thats so true!
Most Famous Man: Obama?
Most Famous Pop Star: Beyonce?
Man this movie is getting interesting!
This dining room table is getting crowded.
Harry Styles’ new album has sold wayyy more than Beyonce’s. And not just because it was released earlier; his first week sales were 521,500 while Beyonce’s were 332,000. Adele and Taylor are bigger than them both, but unless something crazy happens, Harry Styles is going to have the biggest album of the year.
I was thinking Pope Francis could be the most famous globally, which would make for a very different movie.
How do you get the Pope to go down on Florence Pugh?Dress her as an altar boy.
Can’t believe she let Ed Sheeran go down on her.
Must be a British thing. He’s probably on the cover of every tabloid there all the time, so she probably thinks its the same here.
Given the rumors about the strife behind the film, you can tell Pugh is over it, and the last thing she wants is this film to become more about Harry Styles
She’s also a successful actress in her 20s who’s very aware that in a few years, a lot of the peers she came up with won’t be getting work any more, because they’re seen as being over the hill once they hit 30 (and things get vastly worse from there).
Her wanting to pull the focus back onto her acting so she can have something like Jennifer Lawrence’s career — although she, too, is now in the years where it gets a lot harder for formerly hot young actresses — makes perfect sense.
And yeah, I have to imagine she’s tired of talking about Harry Styles every 30 seconds, since the movie’s not out and no one can talk about her performance yet.
Now that you mention it, I’d watch Jennifer Lawrence get eaten out on a… well, it doesn’t really matter what kind of furniture.
How about an étagère?
Well it doesn’t look very comfortable, but to each their own, different. . .uh . . .strokes. . .you know. . .
ONCE AGAIN, dirtside . . . YOU HAVE MADE IT WEIRD!!!
It was like that when I got here.

Very creepy comment
You got some kinda furniture kink? No judgment here.
Nothing with an umlaut, please.
Söfa.
You meatball gravying bastard.
If you’re doing the old “spell a word with your tongue” trick, the umlaut is the icing on the cake. That’s why it’s called that.(I’ll see myself out.)
For the record, those rumors of strife are, if not made up entirely by Styles stans, absolutely exacerbated by them. They have an enormous grudge against Olivia Wilde, and they’ve dragged Florence into it too. I can’t blame her for being sick fo it.
wouldnt it be Sudeikis fans? Styles fans wouldn’t care either way.
See, but you’re thinking logically. Harry fans hate her because they think she’s manipulating him, and that he was forced into a relationship with her because she’s forcing him to keep his love for Louis Tomlinson private.
Nobody made up the trouble with Shia. Or the breakup of Wilde and Sudeikis. It’s entirely fair to suspect Styles fans of stirring shit, but there was shit to be stirred.
the pop star-actor performing cunnilingus on the dining room table.I would have performed it on Miss Pugh, myself. Bold choice by the filmmakers.
Really taking one for the team, aren’t you?
At least it’s the dining room table and not a table in a restaurant. (Talk about eating out…)
Boooo lol
Sir and ma’am…this is an Arby’s!
We have the meats! (Please don’t supply your own!)
Florence Pugh: The Other White Meat!
Hey, when you’re the most famous man in the world you can perform cunnilingus on whoever/whatever you like.
Florence Pugh certainly has . . . thoughts.
The woman gives no fucks…at least the metaphorical kind.
tell ya what…
“When it’s reduced to your sex scenes, or to watch the most famous man in the world go down on someone, it’s not why we do it,” Pugh tells Harper’s Bazaar in a new interview. “It’s not why I’m in this industry.”However, that is precisely why a lot of producers are in the industry.
Along with most viewers of this film.
You guys remember a couple weeks ago, it was all about Florence Pugh’s nipples?
Why no, do you have any helpful links or images to refresh my memory?(Just kidding, I do, and people are so stupid)
I had the link all copied and ready to paste!
You can make a strong case the most famous man in the world is Donald Trump.
You’re welcome.
But the 50 year age difference! That’s just weird!
“Man,” not “dumpster fire.”
I can’t help but imagine Pugh scolding fans in that bad but entertaining fake Russian accent she has for her MCU role.
Seems a composite between STEPFORD WIVES and THE TRUMAN SHOW.
Harry Styles looks freakishly like Rami Malek in that still picture.
Mr. Cunnilingus Robot!
Hahaha I love how much she hates this movie!
“performing cunnilingus on the dining room table”That sounds like a crazy dining table. Interior design by HR Giger? (Maybe they got it at his cafe in Gruyeres.)
I now want an audio commentary of that scene by Matt Gourley as Giger.
“I’m in the industry to do bottomlessly disappointing follow-ups to brilliant debut horror films!”(He said, knowing full well how much some people hate Hereditary and enjoy Midsommar.)
Has anyone seen Florence and Pepe Le in the same room?Coincidence?
Not since Florence accidentally got a white stripe painted on her black coat the time she walked through a building site, no.
It’s wild her response wasn’t “Ha yeah trailers amirite but publicity is good and hopefully when people see it they’ll understand there’s a lot more to the film”

Most famous man/pop star in the world, eh? lulz…
If a trailer is made in such a way as to feature scenes of sex prominently, and then people start talking about that sex, shouldn’t your problem more be with the marketing department, not the people going damn this movie looks sexy?
