It seems like it was yesterday, but two decades have already passed since the early 2000s. The change in many aspects of our society has been slow and progressive, although only time is able to show us that, in some cases, the differences are very big. And tell it to Anne Hathaway, a woman who has managed to forge a great professional career, but who She was also an inexperienced girl who started in the world of acting without much idea of how it worked.
The actress is promoting The idea of having you, film in which she herself stars and which will be released in Spain on May 2. In an interview for V Magazine, compared the type of castings he had to do in his 20s with the ones he has done for this romantic comedy. Specifically, she recalled an audition for a movie that she didn’t mention and how she felt uncomfortable because of the team’s demands.
“It was normal to ask an interpreter to kiss other candidates to check the chemistry between them, which really seems like the worst way to do it. They told me: ‘We have ten boys for the casting. Aren’t you excited to make out with all of them?’ And I was wondering if there was a problem with me, because I wasn’t enthusiastic. “It seemed disgusting to me,” Hathaway recalled.
Now she sees it differently with the perspective that the passing of the years brings: “I was very young and I was terribly worried about losing everything after being labeled ‘complicated,’ so I pretended I was excited and moved on. It wasn’t an abuse of power, no one wanted to be nasty to me or hurt me. They were other times and Now we are much more aware.”
Anne Hathaway stars and produces The idea of having youwhich implies that was able to participate fully in the election process of the main male character. The film is based on a novel by Robinne Lee in which a 40-year-old single mother falls in love with the lead singer of a boy band who is only 24. To choose the right person for the role, she and her team devised a very original test.
“We ask the selected actors to choose a song that they thought their character would love and reproduce to make the girl dance, and then we did a little improvisation. “I was sitting after having gone to dinner or taking a walk, we pressed play and started dancing,” the actress explained.
Nicholas Galitzine was completely right when choosing a song from Alabama Shakes. “I heard the voice of Brittany Howard and I smiled. He saw me, relaxed and started dancing. Nobody was faking it or trying to force things. We were just dancing. I looked at Michael Showalter our director was radiant. “Sparks were flying!” Hathaway said. In the end, Galitzine was selected to co-star The idea of having you.
