There was a time when he had to kiss ten different actors to see who the chemistry worked with.
According to the actress’ report, the humiliating situation was brought up for her with the following sentence. “They said ‘ten guys are coming today and you’re going to cast them.’ Are you excited that you’re going to kiss all of them?” I just thought that the problem must be with me, because I wasn’t excited at all,” said the star.
“In fact, I thought it was rather disgusting.
But I was young and very aware of how easily I could lose everything if word got out that I was a problem. So I pretended I couldn’t wait and just went with the flow,” he added.
According to Hathaway, this was all normal practice in the 2000s.
“This was not a power play, no one wanted to intentionally hurt or humiliate me. Only those were very different times. Fortunately, such a thing cannot happen today,” explained the actress.
And as a counterexample, he also said that when his film arriving on Prime Video on May 2, the The Idea of You was casting for the romantic drama, then they decided whether the chemistry between her and the male lead worked by asking the applicants to choose a song, after which they danced together in the middle of a little impro. The role was eventually cast by Nicholas Galitzine (Red, white, royal blue) received.
