Olivia Wilde says Shia LaBeouf was fired from her film

Have no fear, Harry Styles is here.

“Don’t Worry Darling” director Olivia Wilde claimed Shia LaBeouf was originally cast in Styles’ role in the upcoming drama but had to be let go to ensure safety during filming.

Wilde, 38, told Variety that she originally envisioned the “Watermelon Sugar” singer for the role of Jack, the sketchy husband of a suburban housewife named Alice, but Styles, 28, had already hit the road for a global tour.

Thus, LaBeouf, 36, was cast instead. But by early production in 2020, Wilde said the “Honeyboy” actor had to go.

“I say this as someone who is such an admirer of his work: His process was not conducive to the ethos that I demand in my productions,” Wilde told the outlet. “He has a process that, in some ways, seems to require a combative energy, and I don’t personally believe that is conducive to the best performances.”

At the time of LaBeouf’s departure, the studio claimed he had scheduling conflicts, while Wilde insisted on her “no a–holes policy.” Luckily for her, the COVID-19 pandemic canceled Styles’ tour and freed up his schedule to star in the film.

Later in 2020, LaBeouf’s former partner FKA Twigs filed a lawsuit against him, claiming sexual, emotional and psychological abuse.

“A lot came to light after this happened that really troubled me, in terms of his behavior,” Wilde said. “For our film, what we really needed was an energy that was incredibly supportive. Particularly with a movie like this, I knew that I was going to be asking Florence to be in very vulnerable situations, and my priority was making her feel safe and making her feel supported.”

As seen in the “Darling” trailer, Styles gives Pugh oral sex on a dining room table, and the couple also appears naked in bed.

“I believe that creating a safe, trusting environment is the best way to get people to do their best work,” she added. “Ultimately, my responsibility is to the production and to the cast to protect them. That was my job.”

As for LaBeouf, the “Booksmart” director added, “I find myself just really wishing him health and evolution because I believe in restorative justice.”

Styles’ casting ultimately led to a real-world romance between him and Wilde, who have now been dating for over a year.

Earlier this month, Pugh criticized viewers’ fixation on Styles’ sex acts displayed in the steamy trailer.

“When it’s reduced to your sex scenes, or to watch the most famous man in the world go down on someone, it’s not why we do it. It’s not why I’m in this industry,” Pugh said in a Harper’s Bazaar profile.

“Obviously, the nature of hiring the most famous pop star in the world, you’re going to have conversations like that,” she added.

“That’s just not what I’m going to be discussing because [this movie is] bigger and better than that. And the people who made it are bigger and better than that,” Pugh said.

“Don’t Worry Darling” hits theaters on Sept. 23.
