Harry Styles jokes about viral ‘spitting’ video during concert

Harry Styles joked about the viral video of him “spitting” on Chris Pine during a concert in New York City on Wednesday night.

Shortly after the debut of Olivia Wilde’s new film Don’t Worry Darling at the Venice Film Festival on Monday, a video began to circulate online showing star Styles taking a seat at the venue next to Pine. Many fans speculated on Twitter that the British singer/actor had spat at his co-star, a rumour Pine’s representatives have since rejected.

ut during the opener of his Love On Tour show at Madison Square Garden, Styles made a lighthearted reference to the drama.

“This is our tenth show at Madison Square Garden. It’s wonderful, wonderful, wonderful to be back in New York. I just popped very quickly to Venice to spit on Chris Pine,” the 28-year-old joked. “But fret not, we’re back!”
