CLASHES ON THE CANALS

Tensions were high as Hollywood's biggest names stepped out for the Venice Film Festival

While reviews for this year's most anticipated film, Don't Worry Darling, have been less W than favourable, it's not the drama's plot or performances that have nabbed attention. Instead, the behind-thescenes drama has overtaken any talk of the movie itself!

For months, rumours of in-cast fighting have swirled and reached a crescendo when the film's director Olivia Wilde and her lead actor and boyfriend - Harry Styles arrived in Venice for the premiere last week.

FEUDING CAST

Lead actress Florence Pugh had tongues wagging when she skipped the movie's press conference, which was attended by the rest of the cast, following  widespread rumours she and Olivia butted heads during filming.

Whispers of on-set complications began in June when Florence, 26, had nothing but "deafening silence" for Olivia's glowing review of her work as fans were convinced she was also refusing to promote the film, preferring instead to plug her other projects.

Things quickly became more complicated when it was revealed Olivia, 38, had met her now-boyfriend, 28-yearold Harry Styles on the set of the film, when he was cast in the lead male role.
