Oscar nominee Florence Pugh and One Direction alum Harry Styles play leading roles in Olivia Wilde's new film
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Florence Pugh has a message for fans and critics who are only focusing on her sex scenes with Harry Styles in the upcoming movie, "Don’t Worry Darling."
"When it’s reduced to your sex scenes, or to watch the most famous man in the world go down on someone, it’s not why we do it. It’s not why I’m in this industry," Pugh, 26, told Harper’s Bazaar in a recent interview.
"Obviously, the nature of hiring the most famous pop star in the world, you’re going to have conversations like that," the actress continued to explain. The "Don’t Worry Darling" official trailer, released in May, features an intimate sex scene with Styles and Pugh, as the "Midsommar" actress encourages viewers to look beyond the risqué moments.
