Not aging well? Amid the offscreen Don’t Worry Darling drama, a resurfaced clip of Florence Pugh gushing about Olivia Wilde is making its rounds on social media.

Reviews of Olivia Wilde’s psychological drama “Don’t Worry Darling” premiering at the Venice Film Festival are now out. And while it’s a little too early to land on a consensus (our review is mixed), unless you’ve been living under a rock, the film and the spectacle surrounding it have threatened to become one of the biggest, nosiest dramas of the year.

Olivia Wilde is making it clear she's strictly at the 2022 Venice Film Festival for business and not gossip. During a press conference for her new film,, on Monday, the 38-year-old director briefly debunked rumors of a feud with Florence Pugh, who stars in the movie, but was absent from the event. Pugh is expected to walk the red carpet at the premiere later today.While Wilde was joined by the film's stars Chris Pine, Harry Styles and Gemma Chan, a reporter told her it was a «shame» that Pugh wasn't there, according to.

is proving to be a very ironic title for Olivia Wilde's sophomore directorial effort, as quite a bit of drama worth worrying about has unfolded over the course of production and the subsequent promotional blitz ahead of the film's release next month.From the film's early casting shake-ups — with Harry Styles taking over for Shia LaBeouf — to Wilde's high-profile split from her long-time partner Jason Sudeikis and subsequent romance with her new leading man, drama, rumors and mild scandals have permeated every facet of the film's production.Now, with the tensions between Wilde and LaBeouf coming to a head as the actor accuses the filmmaker of misrepresenting his exit from the film — and rumors swirling over Florence Pugh's alleged feud with Wilde allegedly due to her romance with Styles and split from Sudeikis — it feels like risks being overshadowed by the controversy.Amid the back-and-forth allegations and fan-fueled rumors, ET is breaking down all the drama and examining the behind-the-scenes in-fighting and how the headline-grabbing feuds first formed. In April 2020, news broke that Pugh and LaBeouf — as well as Chris Pine — had been cast as the leads of Wilde's forthcoming drama, which is set in the 1950s.

Shia LaBeouf has been the subject of intense controversy over the past several years. From his multiple arrests and reports of erratic behavior to the more recent allegations of physical abuse from one of his ex-partners, the actor is seemingly always in the crosshairs.

Shia LaBeouf is setting some things straight about his 2019 film, . In a new appearance on Jon Bernthal's  podcast, LaBeouf said he felt like he «wronged» his father by depicting him as abusive in the film, which is loosely based on LaBeouf's childhood and the relationship between him and his father.«Here's a man who I've done vilified on a grand scale,» LaBeouf, who played a version of dad in the film, told Bernthal. «I wrote this narrative, which was just f***ing nonsense.

Shia LaBeouf’s comeback campaign has seemingly begun. His first film in two years—since the allegations actor/artist FKA Twigs (real name Tahliah Debrett Barnett) made against him about mental, physical, and violent abuse—“Padre Pio” directed by Abel Ferrara, is about to premiere at Venice and LaBeouf, who has been mostly quiet ever since the accusations, is finally breaking his silence.

More updates on the Don’t Worry Darling drama!!

Shia LaBeouf's words to Olivia Wilde, «Firing me never took place.»On the heels of a newly published  interview with the  director, in which she reportedly confirmed to the outlet that she fired LaBeouf as Jack, the male lead of the film, the actor is refuting her claim. During her interview, Wilde said LaBeouf's process «was not conducive to the ethos that I demand in my productions.»«He has a process that, in some ways, seems to require a combative energy, and I don’t personally believe that is conducive to the best performances,» she claimed. «I believe that creating a safe, trusting environment is the best way to get people to do their best work. Ultimately, my responsibility is to the production and to the cast to protect them.

Shia LaBeouf makes his acting comeback at the Venice Film Festival this year in Abel Ferrara’s “Padre Pio.” That makes LaBeouf’s term as persona non grata in the movie industry after his ex-girlfriend Tahliah Barnett (aka FKA Twigs) sued him for sexual battery and assault less than two years.
