Anne Hathaway shared a revealing experience about chemistry tests from her earlier years. She disclosed being asked to kiss multiple actors to determine the perfect co-star.
Chemistry tests in the 2000s involved actors making out with others, which Hathaway found uncomfortable and considered it a flawed approach.
Despite feeling uneasy, Hathaway went along with the process to avoid being labeled difficult, given the industry norms of the time.
In contrast, for her latest film “The Idea of You,” she had a say in the casting process and opted for a more creative and natural approach to chemistry tests.
Nicholas Galitzine won the role after a unique audition where he danced with Hathaway to a song by Alabama Shakes, showcasing a genuine connection without any pressure.
The chemistry between Galitzine and Hathaway was evident, leading to a successful casting decision and a seamless working dynamic.
“The Idea of You” premiered at SXSW to positive feedback and will be available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video on May 2nd, promising an engaging watch for audiences.
