Olivia Wilde has gushed over Harry Styles in a sweet Instagram post.
The 36-year-old reportedly grew close to the One Direction star while working together on the upcoming film ‘Don’t Worry, Darling’, which Olivia is directing.
As they finished up filming, Olivia took to Instagram to praise her team, sharing a lengthy post dedicated to the movie’s leading man and her new beau.
Alongside a black-and-white photo of Harry, she wrote: “Little known fact: most male actors don’t want to play supporting roles in female-led films.”
“The industry has raised them to believe it lessens their power (i.e financial value) to accept these roles, which is one of the reasons it’s so hard to get financing for movies focusing on female stories.”
“No joke, it is harrrrrd to find actors who recognize why it might be worth it to allow for a woman to hold the spotlight,” the actress admitted.
“Enter: @harrystyles, our ‘Jack’ . 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.”

“He didn’t have to join our circus, but he jumped on board with humility and grace, and blew us away every day with his talent, warmth, and ability to drive backwards. 👊,” she concluded the post.
Harry and Olivia confirmed their romance last month, when they were papped holding hands at Harry’s agent’s wedding in Montecito, California.
An insider told Entertainment Tonight at the time: “Olivia and Harry are together for long days on set and have gotten to know each other really well, so it’s all very organic.”
The source added that Olivia “wouldn’t let a romantic relationship get in the way of a professional one, so anything they’re doing is being done thoughtfully.”
