Don't Worry Darling, a movie starring Harry Styles, Florence Pugh and Chris Pine and directed by Olivia Wilde, has been in the news for weeks due to reported behind-the-scenes drama.

On Monday, September 5, the movie had a drama-filled premiere at the Venice Film Festival. During the 4 minute standing ovation, Styles grabbed co-star Nick Kroll and kissed him in a fit of unbridled delight.


In the video taken by Variety co-editor in chief Ramin Setoodeh, the pair then chuckle and hug as the crowd erupts in applause.

Reactions online have been generally positive—while sometimes commenting this makes the complicated drama of the movie continue.

But first, the commentary from the LGBTQ+ community.


Others are a little fed up with what they deem to be queerbaiting on Styles' part.


Another person pointed out this is an odd reaction from Styles to the ongoing rumors about his alleged sexual orientation.

Some commented on how this further complicates the already messy relationships and publicity around the cast, especially that Styles did this during a 5-minute standing ovation for the movie his alleged girlfriend directed, while standing next to her.

Others are just fully fed up with the drama around this entire movie's cast, process, publicity tour and premiere.

One person likened it to the plot of Singin' in the Rain—a movie musical about the process of developing a film involving messy intra-cast relationships and a publicity tour that is somehow still less dramatic than this real life one.

Finally, some commenters had a salient question: why was Nick Kroll...there?

Kroll—who is better known for his comic work on shows like Big Mouth—was a member of the cast, but culturally this is a bit outside his usual wheelhouse so people were confused.


The movie isn't completely out yet, so the drama will probably keep on coming.

Tim Walz Has Epic Clapback After Nancy Mace Asks Him To Define 'Woman' During Congressional Hearing

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had a splendid response after South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace attempted to claim that his support for transgender women would bar him from recognizing fraud in his state.

Walz's appearance at the hearing comes amid conservative claims—offered with little supporting evidence—that Somali-run childcare centers in Minnesota improperly received public funds intended to support childcare for low-income families. Subsequently, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the FBI expanded their presence in Minnesota as federal authorities froze childcare funding statewide.

Elmo Just Asked His Followers 'Where Have You Been?'—And Zohran Mamdani Had The Purest Response

Elmo, the furry red childlike monster from Sesame Street designed by Caroly Wilcox, began his life as a generic "baby monster" background filler in the 1979-1980 season of the long-running children's television program.

Originally having a gruff voice supplied by various puppeteers, Elmo found his falsetto-voiced, loving persona when Kevin Clash took over in 1985. Elmo was transformed into a three-and-a-half-year-old character designed to connect with the show's audience of preschoolers.
