“Florence is a force,” replied Wilde, who is rumored to be dating Pugh’s co-star Styles. “And we’re so thankful that she’s able to do it tonight despite being in production on ‘Dune.’ I know how upsetting it is to lose an actor even for a day, so I’m very grateful to her, grateful to Denis Villeneuve for helping us and we’re very excited to be able to celebrate her work tonight. “
“I can’t express how honored I am to have her as our lead,” he continued. “She’s amazing in the movie and as for all the endless tabloid gossip and all the noise out there, I mean, the internet feeds itself. I don’t feel the need to contribute, I think it’s well fed enough.” .
