Anne Hathaway explains that chemistry tests from the early 2000s required her to kiss 10 guys. Now, as a producer, she runs her auditions differently.
At the start of her career, Anne Hathaway said she didn't want to be labeled 'difficult' so she went along with some of the crazy things the Hollywood audition process threw at her. One such thing, the 'Les Misérables' Oscar winner said, involved chemistry tests that required her to kiss several actors. It was a 'normal' request, she said, but a 'gross' one and an antiquated relic of the pre-#MeToo era.
Hathaway opted to have the actors choose a song that they felt their character would love and put it on to get Hathaway's character, Solène Marchand, to dance. Then they would do 'a short little improv.' 'I was sitting in a chair like we had come in from dinner or a walk or something, we pressed play, and we just started dancing together,' she said of her 29-year-old co-star Nicholas Galitzine.
