Harry Styles' mother tweets 'Don't Worry, Darling' and then deletes, fans find it adorable she embarrassed son

On Friday, it was reported that the former One Direction member, who made his acting debut in Christopher Nolan’s ‘Dunkirk’, replaced Shia LaBeouf in ‘Don’t Worry, Darling’

On Friday, September 11, British singer-songwriter Harry Styles reportedly joined the cast of Olivia Wilde’s next directorial venture, ‘Don’t Worry, Darling’. Katie Silberman, who worked with Wilde on her directorial debut 'Booksmart', wrote the screenplay based on a spec script by Shane and Carey Van Dyke. The film, which is reportedly set in an isolated, utopian community in the 1950s California desert, also stars Wilde, Chris Pine, Florence Pugh, and Dakota Johnson.

The former One Direction member, who made his acting debut in Christopher Nolan’s ‘Dunkirk’, replaced Shia LaBeouf in ‘Don’t Worry, Darling’, who departed the project due to a scheduling conflict.  

Shortly before the news of Styles joining the cast arrived, Anne Twist, the mother of Harry and Gemma Styles, tweeted and subsequently deleted, “‘Don’t worry darling’ @Harry_Styles you’ll be AMAZING.” This was followed by a winking emoji.

Several fans, however, took screenshots before the tweet disappeared. One fan shared a screenshot, saying, “Anne tweeted and then deleted!”

Following this, Twist tweeted another message: “We’re taking to the air on 8th Oct for @ParkinsonsUK don’t worry darlings @Harry_Styles @GemmaAnneStyles I’ll be fine!”

Fans found this amusing. For many, it was yet another example of the kind of adorable relationship they have. Many wondered if Harry had to scold Twist to get the tweet deleted and corrected.

One fan tried to illustrate Harry’s reaction to the tweet with a screenshot of text message exchange. The fan wrote, “Anne:” followed by her deleted tweet, and “harry, probably:” followed by a text exchange that had the word “mum” in all caps.

Another fan tweeted a fictional exchange between the mother and the son, writing, “Anne: *tweeting about Don’t Worry Darling because she’s happy* Harry: *messages her “MOM NOT NOW DJDJDIEKE”* Anne: *deletes and tweets “don’t worry darlings & Tags Harry & Gemma*”

One fan wrote, “I feel like their family group chat is a mess right now. imagine Harry telling Anne to take the tweet down.”

Another fan shared a reaction video and wrote, “Harry making Ms Anne delete her tweet.”

But even as this was going on, fans could not help fawn over Twist. One wrote, “Harry's mom saved her son from becoming an international d***head when she grounded Harry for saying the word p**** on national tv at 16 and he's been an absolute sweetheart ever since, thank you Anne.”

Fans also took Twist’s deleted tweet as confirmation for the news of Styles joining the ‘Don’t Worry, Darling’ cast. “Anne just confirmed actor Harry means it's happening let's go Harry nation,” tweeted a fan.

Another fan wrote, “Okay lemme tell you, Anne probably deleted it because she wasn’t supposed to be talking about it + Florence Pugh literally followed Harry on instagram so I’m pretty f***ing 100% sure it’s real.”

Another fan said, "Since Anne basically confirmed it, I am going to believe this already!!!!! My dream of Harry playing a dark character pretending to be squeaky good. I can’t wait!!!!!!!"

New Line is planning a fall production start for the film. No release date for ‘Don’t Worry, Darling’ has been announced yet.
