Olivia Wildegot emotional witnessingHarry Styles' performance in her upcoming thrillerDon’t Worry Darling.
In a cover story about Styles forRolling Stone’s September issue, costar/director Wilde recalled the “strange scene, full of fascist references, and a disturbing amount of male rage.”
“But Harry took it to another level,” she added. “He was so fully in the moment, he began screaming the lines to the crowd, in this primal roar, that was way more intense than anything we expected from the scene.”
Wilde said the scene, which sees Jack getting a promotion during a gala for his company, “left us all in tears” and even Pine, 41, backed away and let Styles have the spotlight.

“I’ve never talked about my life away from work publicly and found that it’s benefited me positively,” said Styles. “There’s always going to be a version of a narrative, and I think I just decided I wasn’t going to spend the time trying to correct it or redirect it in some way.”
While he’s currentlyin a relationship with Wilde, the"Watermelon Sugar"musician doesn’t think his seemingly public romances should define him, as he’s the only one who knows what goes on behind closed doors.
“Sometimes people say, ‘You’ve only publicly been with women,’ and I don’t think I’ve publicly been with anyone,” said Styles, who plays a gay character in the upcoming filmMy Policeman. “If someone takes a picture of you with someone, it doesn’t mean you’re choosing to have a public relationship or something.”
Styles, who stars opposite Florence Pugh inDon’t Worry Darling, also told the magazine it’ll be “a while” before he does another movie.
“When you’re making music, something’s happening. It feels really creative and it feeds stuff. A large part of acting is the doing nothing, waiting thing. Which, if that’s the worst part, then it’s a pretty good job. But I don’t find that section of it to be that fulfilling. I like doing it in the moment, but I don’t think I’ll do it a lot,” he said. “I think there’ll be a time again when I’ll crave it.”
Don’t Worry Darlingis in theaters Sept. 23.
