Looking To Be A Supporting Actor In A Film Directed By A Woman, Olivia Wilde Praises Harry Styles

JAKARTA - Actress and director Olivia Wilde praised Harry Styles openly after the production of the film Don't Worry Darling.

Through his Instagram account, Wilde uploaded a photo of Styles sitting in a car with a caption. "A little fact: most male actors don't want to play supporting roles in a female film director."

According to Wilde, the film industry stigmatizes that supporting roles can reduce the financial value of an actor, making it difficult to find actors who want to play a role in films with a female focus.

“@Harrystyles, our 'Jack'. Not only does she give the chance to grab @florencepugh's chance to play our 'Alice', but she infuses every scene with humanity. "

In another upload, the Booksmart director also made a post praising Florence Pugh's acting as a talented actress and a dream for all directors.

Amid rumors of a romantic relationship between Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles, many netizens criticized Wilde's upload for appearing excessive. “So we're celebrating a male actor doing a job for which he was recruited? We know, you "love him" and he is amazing but this is too much, "wrote one netizen.

"I know they are dating but Olivia Wilde praising Harry Styles for a role in a film about that woman makes no sense," wrote another netizen.

Not a few think this upload is Wilde's subtle allusion to Shia Labeouf, who left Don't Worry Darling after being troubled by her former lover.

Don't Worry Darling is a film set in 1950 about a wife who breaks her husband's dark secret. Pugh and Styles play the couple Alice and Jack.

Apart from the two, this film stars Chris Pine, Gemma Chan, KiKi Layne, and Nick Kroll.
