00:00Anne Hathaway is opening up about her gross auditioning experience in the 2000s

00:04after being asked to kiss 10 guys for a chemistry read.

00:08The actress told V Magazine,

00:10I was told,

00:10We have 10 guys coming today in your cast.

00:13Aren't you excited to make out with all of them?

00:15And I thought,

00:15Is there something wrong with me?

00:16Because I wasn't excited.

00:18She didn't specify what project the audition was for.

00:21I thought it sounded gross,

00:22and I was so young and terribly aware how easy it was to lose everything

00:25by being labeled difficult.

00:27So I just pretended I was excited and got on with it.

00:30Hathaway said,

00:31This was considered normal during the early 2000s.

00:33It was just a very different time,

00:35and now we know better.

00:36So for her new film,

00:37The Idea of You,

00:38in which Hathaway serves as a producer,

00:40she conducted her chemistry read a bit differently.

00:42We asked each of the actors coming in to choose a song that they felt their character would love,

00:46that they would put on to get my character to dance,

00:49and then we do a short little improv.

00:51The Idea of You,

00:51based on the 2017 novel of the same name,

00:54tells the story of a 40-year-old single mom

00:56who falls for a 24-year-old international pop star

00:59played by Nicholas Galitzin.

01:01During his audition,

01:02the actor picked a song by the Alabama Shakes.

01:05It was just easy.

01:05I heard Britney's voice,

01:06and I just started smiling.

01:08And he saw me smile,

01:09so he relaxed.

01:10And we just started dancing.

01:11I looked over,

01:12and Michael Showalter,

01:13our director,

01:13was beaming.

01:14Spark.

01:15The film hits Prime Video on May 2nd.

01:17What is that song?

01:19Uh,

01:19it's nothing,

01:20really.

01:21I like it.
