Harry Styles did not spit on co-star Chris Pine, representatives of both actors say, after a video of the pair at the Venice Film Festival went viral.
Social media was ablaze after a journalist suggested Styles appeared to spit as he was sitting down next to Pine at the film's premiere.
According to the Guardian, a source close to the UK singer-turned-actor said: "This is not true."
US actor's Pine's representative agreed, calling the story "ridiculous".
Videos online suggested that when Styles sat down, he appeared to spit on his co-star, who was seated between him and the film's director Olivia Wilde.
Pine reacted by stopping clapping and looking down at his lap, before looking surprised and smiling.
