Shia LaBeouf Admits ‘Honey Boy’ Was “F*cking Nonsense” & Says He “Wronged” His Father With His Portrayal

Olivia Wilde is making it clear she's strictly at the 2022 Venice Film Festival for business and not gossip. During a press conference for her new film,, on Monday, the 38-year-old director briefly debunked rumors of a feud with Florence Pugh, who stars in the movie, but was absent from the event.
