Olivia Wilde sidestepped rumors that Florence Pugh is not promoting “Don’t Worry Darling” due to tension between them, attributing her star’s silence to scheduling conflicts.
In a Thursday cover story, the director told Vanity Fair that Pugh is “one of the most in-demand actresses in the universe,” leaving little time for her to participate in press.
“I gather that some people expect for her to be engaging more on social media,” Wilde said. “I didn’t hire her to post. I hired her to act.”
Wilde continued: “She fulfilled every single expectation I had of her. That’s all that matters to me.”
