The controversy, which has since been dubbed “spitgate”, was slammed by Chris soon after as, his representative issued a statement saying this was “a completely fabricated exchange” and branded the claims as “ridiculous” and “foolish speculation”.
Now, in an interview with Esquire, Chris confirmed that “Harry did not spit on me”, and offered some explanation for the situation.
The 42-year-old assured that his costar “is a very kind guy” and as they left the film festival everyone was “having a great time on the plane”.
During the trip, Chris fell asleep on the plane only to be woken by his publicist saying he needed to make a statement.
