Chris Pine<\/a>\u2019s charismatic cult-like leader, in a mid-century-styled experimental community. Florence Pugh plays Jack\u2019s wife Alice, who gets every comfort in the world in exchange for not asking questions. But soon, she starts to see cracks in the veneer.<\/p>\n\u201cI think it\u2019s fun to get to play in worlds that aren\u2019t necessarily your own. This world that is supposedly so perfect, it\u2019s really fun to play pretend in there,\u201d Styles said. \u201cThere wasn\u2019t too much acting.\u201d<\/p>\n
Styles took several days off from his Madison Square Garden appearances to attend the Don\u2019t Worry Darling premiere in Venice, with Wilde and co-stars Pine and Gemma Chan. But though he juggles two high-profile careers in the arts, he said he doesn\u2019t see many parallels between music and acting.<\/p>\n
\u201cPersonally I find them to be kind of opposite in a lot of ways. I think making music is a really personal thing,\u201d Styles said. \u201cThere\u2019s aspects of acting where you\u2019re drawing from experiences you\u2019ve had but for the most part you\u2019re pretending to play someone else. I think that\u2019s what I find the most fun about it: playing pretend.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cI think the fun part is you never know what you\u2019re doing. Music I\u2019ve done for longer, but what I like about acting is I feel like I have no idea what I\u2019m doing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fans were already gathering in front of the theater early Monday to get a prime perch in front of the red carpet for the premiere, hours in advance. Many had personal stories about how Styles\u2019 music impacted their lives.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m incredibly grateful to the people who\u2019ve supported me in my life and the fans in particular have always provided me with a place to be myself and feel comfortable doing so and express myself,\u201d he said about what it\u2019s like to mean so much to so many people. \u201cI would like to hope I can give that space back to them.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
