Olivia Wilde puts on a brave smile as she heads to a workout in LA

Olivia Wilde is doing her best to put on a brave face following all the drama surrounding her upcoming feature Don’t Worry Darling.

Wilde, 38, was pictured flashing a smile as she headed out in workout gear on Tuesday in Los Angeles.

It’s a testing time for the thespian and director, who has been dealing with a myriad of problems connected to the new thriller, that stars her boyfriend Harry Styles.

The Booksmart director looked upbeat despite her new film receiving disappointing reviews from critics.

But even if critics didn’t care for the psychological thriller, fans are certainly looking forward to it — or at least a chance to see her boyfriend Harry Styles live.

Icy time: She and Harry promoted the film at its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival, but the star Florence Pugh skipped a press conference and kept her distance from the two

The lovebirds promoted the movie with Chris and fellow stars Gemma Chan and Nick Kroll, but Florence, who plays the lead, was notably absence from much of the festivities.

She skipped a press conference for the film that was attended by Olivia and the actors because her flight allegedly would land too late for her to get there, though she was later seen in Venice nearby while it was taking place.

During the premiere screening and on the red carpet, Florence appeared to keep her distance from her director. 

It never ends: The troubles within the production spilled over to the premiere when some fans became convinced on social media that Harry had spat on his costar Chris when he sat down next to him, though there’s no evidence of that, and Pine’s rep denied it

The troubles within the production spilled over to the premiere when some fans became convinced on social media that Harry had spat on his costar Chris when he sat down next to him.

A videos showed Harry taking a seat next to Chris, who had been clapping but instantly stopped as his costar sat down.

However, the video didn’t clearly show any spit, and a second clip from another angle showed the two chatting politely just seconds later.

A representative for Pine later vehemently denied that there had been any spitting. 

Messy: Florence’s original costar Shia LaBeouf has also been adding to the drama around the film after he denied being fired and shared video of Olivia begging him to stay with the production 

Florence’s original costar Shia LaBeouf has also been adding to the drama around the film.

He was originally set to star in Don’t Worry Darling before Olivia replaced him with Harry.

After LaBeouf was sued by his ex FKA twigs and details of his allegedly sexual battery and harassment against her emerged, Olivia claimed she had fired him from the production.

But the Honey Boy actor later produced a video that Wilde apparently sent him begging him to stay with the production, and he claimed that he had left over a ‘lack of rehearsal time,’ while forwarding emails to Variety to back up his case.

Florence and Olivia have reportedly been feuding quietly after the actress was allegedly uncomfortable with Olivia’s on-set relationship with Harry, though she claimed to Vanity Fair that her relationship with former partner Jason Sudeikis was ‘over long before’ she and Harry first hooked up.
