Chris Pine and Harry Styles are totally cool with one another.

Less than 24-hours after a video showing Styles seemingly spitting on his “Don’t Worry Darling” co-star at the Venice Film Festival went viral, Pine’s team is setting the record straight.

The video shared by Barstool Sports is pretty incriminating.

It does look like the singer lets out a little bit of spit, and Pine’s reaction screams “WTF.”

You can clearly see the singer purse his lips as if he is going to launch a loogie, and Pine’s reaction is pretty on point for someone who may have just gotten spit on.

Then you’ve got Wilde’s reaction of “OMG” and “WTF just happened.”

It’s all very insane, bizarre and unexpected. Twitter is absolutely losing it over this 11-second clip!

"This is a ridiculous story — a complete fabrication and the result of an odd online illusion that is clearly deceiving and allows for foolish speculation,” the statement read. “Just to be clear, Harry Styles did not spit on Chris Pine. There is nothing but respect between these two men and any suggestion otherwise is a blatant attempt to create drama that simply does not exist."

Harry’s team did not respond to People’s request for comment.

People on social media definitely were erring on the side of Styles spitting on Pine.

“This has to be the most/wildest pre movie drama in recent memory. Every turn there is something,” one person tweeted.

Another said their press run looks like “hell on earth.”

“Chris Pine is the definition of Class, a lot of us would not have took that and caused a scene, more respect to him. Guy is a great human being, doesn’t deserve to be treated like that,” one fan wrote.

Not only was “Spitgate 2022” a major topic of discussion on social media, Haz’s random AF comments about movies also made the social media rounds.

“You know my favorite thing about the movie is that it feels like a movie. It feels like a real, go to the theater film, movie. You know, the reason why you go,” Styles said all while Pine stared blankly ahead.

“Imagine being Chris Pine, a PROFESSIONAL actor. Flip phone is charged. Feminist theory books on deck for your down time between junkets. You show up to your cast HATING each other and you get stuck on a junket with a man who has seemingly figured out what acting is? Wow,” one fan tweeted.

Someone hilariously wrote, “Chris pine disassociating at a press conference, Florence pugh showing up 15 mins late with an aperol spritz, tom cruise clinging to a plane and saying ‘see you at the movies!’ Brendan fraser getting a six minute ovation… maybe cinema really is back.”
