Chris Pine is finally talking about what actually happened with Harry Styles during that #SpitGate moment.
There was so much drama surrounding the movie Don't Worry Darling and it had the internet paying very close attention to the casts interactions with each other. There was a clip from the 2022 Venice Film Festival premiere that ended up going viral. The clip showed Styles sitting down next to Pine and people thought Styles actually spit on Pine and even used the hashtag, #SpitGate. In a Esquire video, Pine finally addressed those #SpitGate rumors and said that, "Harry did not spit on me...Harry's a very, very kind guy."
Pine went on to say that he didn't even know that interaction became so viral and his publicist wanted him to give a response. Pine saw the video and agreed that it does look like Styles spit on him but he definitely did not and explained what actually happened:
"I think what he said is he leaned down and I think he said, 'It's just words isn't it?'" he continued. "'Cause we had this little joke. 'Cause we're all jet-lagged, we're all trying to answer these questions that, sometimes, when you're doing these press things, your brain goes all befuddled and you start speaking gibberish. And we had a joke, 'It's just words, man.'"
