Independent Spirit Award-winning filmmaker Olivia Wilde praised Emmy nominee Chris Pine for ‘one hell of a performance’ in her second directorial feature, Don’t Worry Darling.
‘Such a thrill to work with you, Chris,’ the 36-year-old native New Yorker – who boasts 7.5M social media followers – wrote on Tuesday.
‘I’ve known the lovely Chris Pine for almost 16 years, and he has always been one of the most generous, supportive, intelligent, and skillful actors out there.

‘He then went on to deepen the character every day, without ever highjacking our intentions or stepping on our toes. He was there to serve the piece in any way he could.’
Back in 2012, Olivia and the 40-year-old Wonder Woman 1984 action star played love interests Sam and Hannah in Alex Kurtzman’s dismally-reviewed dramedy People Like Us.

‘Not only did he relish the opportunity to allow for the brilliant @florencepugh to hold center stage as our “Alice,” but he infused every scene with a nuanced sense of humanity,’ the How It Ends actress wrote on Monday.
