The short clip made rounds online and caused a heated debate between the two stars' fans as many claimed that the singer will not do such a thing.
A body language expert also spoke to Daily Mail UK to reveal that the video was "misleading."
She noted that if the spit was true, Pine must be a "master of self control" as he did not have a "spontaneous reaction of anger and shock."
'Don't Worry Darling' Drama
Aside from the viral clip, there have been rumors surrounding the movie. Olivia Wilde confirmed to Variety that Shia LaBeouf was the first actor to portray Harry Styles' character, but was fired due to his attitude on set.
She noted that his process was "not conductive to the ethos that I demand in my productions" and she wanted to have a safe space within her set for people to do their best work.
However, the actor debunked the claims by providing evidence to the outlet, claiming that the director continued to reach out to him and insisted that he was the one who quit.
