Nick Kroll says kiss with Harry Styles in 'Don't Worry Darling' was completely improvised - Entertainment Weekly News

To quote a lyric, Harry Styles and Nick Kroll have kissed in the kitchen like it's a dance floor.

The two actors share a quick peck on the lips in the opening scene of director Olivia Wilde's thriller Don't Worry Darling, which is out today (it's a kiss they replicated on the red carpet at the film's world premiere at the Venice Film Festival).

"It was not like, 'Hey, in this next take, let's kiss.' It was spur of the moment.

There was no conversation before where it was like, 'Hey, heads up, let's kiss in front of the entire world.' But I definitely think my stock went up with my nieces and nephews.

"That scene is really supposed to be the height of fun, loose Rat Pack energy.

When you're a talented, smart person, it's not surprising he's good at acting?

I took it as a vote of confidence that she was like, "Well, you're playing my husband, we're just going to be in the scene.

I don't think I have to worry too much about you." I felt like it was like, "You know what you're doing — that's why you're here.

If I need something different, I'll tell you." To her credit, when she's in the scene, she's in the scene.

Then when they call cut, you're like, "Oh, right.

I like playing games with people.

It's the scene where Chris Pine is giving his big speech at his and Gemma Chan's house.

I'm not saying any of us were directing the movie, but I really like that sense of: I want to trust that if I give people information, that it will help them build the world.

Chris Pine is doing something a little different playing this sinister guy, and you're doing something a little different doing a thriller?

What was it like playing off off of each other inhabiting this new space for both of you.

Whenever people get to do things that they don't always get to do, it's fresh and it feels exciting.

Then you've got a Harry, who hasn't done a ton of film acting, and Chris playing a different kind of character.

It means everybody's excited to be there and be doing something that they don't always get to do?

In this particular year, whether it was real or not, it felt like the world was watching.

You're, like, watching Timothée Chalamet wearing a backless shirt walking the red carpet.

And then it's like, Alright, I guess I'm going to head right into that.

When you're a little kid and you think, What does it mean to be in the movies, it's some version of going to the Venice Film Festival and getting on water taxis and showing up at a fancy party and wearing fun clothes and seeing and meeting people.

I've done a few films not like this.

It's not about being a douche or playing a character.

It's very different than even people who are fans of my comedy have seen?

The juxtaposition of those two projects at the same time is really interesting, and I feel so fortunate that I get to do these incredibly different kinds of projects that are equally gratifying in their own way.
