Sharjah24 – AFP: Fans went wild for the arrival of music star Harry Styles in Venice on Monday, but any discussion of controversies around his film "Don't Worry Darling" was quickly shut down.
The mere presence of the 28-year-old in the film -- a dystopia about a seemingly-perfect community with dark secrets -- has ensured the internet is awash with unsubstantiated gossip.
And there was further grist to the mill when Pugh failed to show up for the film's press conference in Venice -- though she was due to walk the red carpet for the premiere later on Monday.
- 'Very lucky' -
With millions of fans hanging on his every word, Styles was typically cautious.
Asked about balancing his acting and music careers, Styles said he found them "opposite in a lot of ways".
"Making music is a really personal thing. There's aspects of acting where you're drawing from experience, but for the most part you're pretending to play someone else. That's what I find the most fun about it," he said.
"I feel very lucky that I get to do something that I love as a job and being able to explore this has made me feel even luckier," he said. "In terms of the future, I try not to think about it too much... one day at a time."
For an optimal experience, please
