If there is anything that is talked about almost everywhere, traveling through every packet routing network, it has to be the growing bromance (or not?) of Don’t Worry Darling’s Harry Styles and Nick Kroll. After sharing the same set, the two strengthened their friendship on and off the screen. And it seems like neither of the two artists could stop singing praises of the other.

Their closeness was perhaps very much apparent at their movie’s infamous Venice Film Festival premiere. A lot was going on during the promos as director Olivia Wilde and lead actress Florence Pugh were presumedly on cross swords. But Harry Styles seemingly decided to make it a lot more sizzling when he publically kissed co-actor Nick Kroll as soon as the psychological thriller got its standing ovation. Although everything was hush-hushed about the quick smooch until now, the New York-based comedian recently opened up about it.

Don’t Worry Darling’s Nick Kroll finally opens up about the infamous Harry Styles kiss

While many of those who witnessed the holy molly kiss might have thought it would lead to yet another feud. Nick Kroll pulled the British singer closer into a warm bromantic hug. Furthermore, their affection towards each other became more apparent when the comedian helped Entertainment Weekly to commemorate the Watermelon Sugar singer as one of the Entertainers of the Year earlier this week.

Kroll admired his co-star and admitted that the very famous kiss brought him applause from family and friends. It was apparently “one of the most surreal moments of his life,” The Kroll Show host said as he jokingly and metaphorically compared the Britisher to Prince Charming and himself to the frog wearing the crown.

“It’s a weird thing to say, but he made me much cooler with my nieces and nephews (and many, many people) by very publicly kissing me at the Venice Film Festival.” Nick Kroll further acknowledged that Styles kisses him in the opening scenes of Don’t Worry Darling, and the singer perhaps just recreated the scene.

But no matter the intention, it sure made Kroll’s life all the more special. “No matter what I accomplish in my life, it will probably go somewhere in my obituary: ‘Father, comedian, creator, and also someone kissed by Harry Styles,’” Nick concluded. “I gotta say, I ain’t mad at it. That’s his power.”
