Florence Pugh sidesteps questions about her rumored “Don’t Worry Darling” feud with Olivia Wilde
In a new interview with Vanity Fair, Pugh was asked about “Don’t Worry Darling,” the 2022 thriller directed by Wilde. The film gained a controversial reputation amid rumors of tension between Pugh and Wilde behind the scenes.
The actress redirected the conversation, stating that she had no interest in revisiting the past.
“Oh, no. I feel like there’s so much stuff we’ve covered that is important for me and on track with my life and my career,” she said.
Despite the rumored conflict, Pugh praised Wilde’s latest work. When asked whether she had seen Wilde’s new movie, “The Invite,” Pugh replied, “I haven’t, but I’ve heard it’s fantastic, and a great cast. Great cast.”
Speculation around the movie intensified in 2022 when Pugh did not attend the film’s press conference. In 2026, Olivia Wilde addressed the longstanding rumors, telling The Cut, “I have never had a screaming match on my set. I was never not available on set. I wanted to be like, ‘None of this is true.’”
Pugh’s interactions with Wilde, Wilde’s former partner Jason Sudeikis, and actor Harry Styles were also under scrutiny during the film’s production and release.
Despite the speculation, Pugh has made it clear that she does not want to delve into the past and would rather focus on her latest work. She currently has several high-profile projects ahead, including East of Eden, Avengers: Doomsday and Dune: Part Three.
