The upcoming psychological thriller Don't Worry Darling has released a new clip of stars Harry Styles and Florence Pugh in an intense scene, but viewers on Twitter have taken to roasting Styles' questionable accent and acting. Don't Worry Darling is directed by Olivia Wilde, who is also a supporting actress in the film, and was written by Katie Silberman, known for writing and producing movies like Set It Up and Wilde's Booksmart. Don't Worry Darling will premiere at the 79th Venice Film Festival September 5 and will hit theaters September 23.Pugh has cemented herself as a lead actress in films like Fighting with My Family, Midsommar, and Little Women, while Styles, mainly known for his music, only has a couple small acting roles under his belt. Audiences have still been excited to see the duo of Pugh and Styles, with both actors having a loyal fanbase, but outside viewers have questioned Styles' acting capabilities. The film has also experienced drama with Shia LaBeouf being fired from the film by Wilde and Pugh reportedly unhappy about Styles' and Wilde's relationship that started after they met on the project.From a new clip from Don't Worry Darling, viewers are tearing apart Styles for his American accent because his British accent is still present in almost everything he says. This has led to discussion about Styles' overall acting capabilities, especially compared to Pugh's impressive background. Many viewers jokingly expressed their sympathy for Pugh having to work with an inexperienced actor, while others compared his bad accent to Gal Gadot's in Wonder Woman. Some outright called Styles a bad actor and accused him of sleeping with Wilde for the role, although their relationship reportedly started after they met for the film. Read viewers' comments below:
While Styles' fans still seem extremely excited for Don't Worry Darling, those who aren't die-hard fans are pretty brutally honest about his accent and acting. Wilde herself has hyped up Styles as an actor, but from what audiences have seen, they believe Pugh will carry the movie. However, Styles and Pugh will be supported by an all-star cast including Gemma Chan, Nick Kroll, Chris Pine, and KiKi Layne.
Styles certainly doesn't have the proven acting chops Pugh has shown in recent years, but viewers should wait to see him in his first major role before passing full judgment. However, if the released clip is any indication of the movie as a whole, Styles may be in trouble with his accent and acting capabilities. The story in the film seems intriguing and thrilling already, so hopefully, a great story paired with Wilde directing will make Don't Worry Darling better than audiences are expecting.
