AceShowbiz - Florence Pugh is telling the world that there's no feud between her and Olivia Wilde. The Alice Chambers depicter in "Don't Worry Darling" posted a photo with the filmmaker after it's reported that they had a "screaming match" on set.
On Friday, September 23, the "Black Widow" actress turned to her Instagram page to share a picture that saw her in character alongside Olivia, who also acts in the movie, while tagging the director in the post.
While Florence did not mention Olivia in her accompanying thank-you post, she did thank her styling team, fans and the movie's crew. "We met so many talented people, visited some insane locations, worked hard in the desert dust and looked good whilst doing so," she wrote.
"Thank you to all those who have bought tickets and those who have already seen it - whenever I watch massive impressive movie moments on massive screens I always remind myself that there is a boom just inches from the frame I'm watching. Or marks on the floor just below the actors waists," Florence added. "It's crazy to think that each set up and scene takes a large portion of a day to execute, and on this one.. there was a lot to execute! Explosions, car chases, cocktail balancing, underwater sequences, running, drinking, more running."
Florence went on to tell fans that the film "was such an epic story on such a large scale to shoot, all while during peak Covid times." The 26-year-old actress noted, "For that I will always be grateful."
That same day, Olivia also shared a photo that saw her sporting a huge grin while sitting next to Florence. " 'Don't Worry Darling' is officially open. Aaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!! I'm so deeply grateful for this experience, and for the extraordinary effort of the group of artists who made it happen. We got together to tell a story for you, and we hope you have fun with it," she captioned the post.
Olivia and Florence's social media posts arrived shortly after it's reported that they got into a "screaming match" on the set when they were filming back in January 2021. An insider who reportedly spent "significant time" on the set of the psychological thriller claimed to Vulture that a "blowout argument" took place between the women in January 2021, about three-quarters of the way into production.
Leading up to the alleged fight, Florence reportedly grew frustrated with Olivia's "frequent, unexplained absences," which might have had something to do with her then-new relationship with Harry Styles, who also stars in the film. "Olivia and Harry would just disappear," the source claimed to the site.
However, this was not the first time allegations of drama on the "Don't Worry Darling" set have come out. In July, it's reported that Florence was unhappy over Olivia and Harry's relationship. "I can tell you for a fact that Flo seeing Olivia and Harry all over each other on set did not go down well as Olivia was still with Jason when she first hooked up with Harry," a source said, referring to Olivia's ex Jason Sudeikis.
Addressing the rumors during a press conference for the movie at the Venice Film Festival, Olivia called the stories "endless tabloid gossip." The 38-year-old said, "I can't say enough how honored I am to have her as our lead. She's amazing in the film, and as for all the endless tabloid gossip and all the noise out there, I mean, the internet feeds itself. I don't feel the need to contribute, I think it's sufficiently well nourished."
