The Big Picture It's no secret that Oscar-winner Anne Hathaway auditioned for multiple roles to get to where she's at in her career. But recently, she revealed that some of the things she had to do to get those roles were not ideal, especially during chemistry tests. According to her, she had to "kiss ten guys" during one of them, and she's grateful things have changed over the years.

“Back in the 2000s — and this did happen to me — it was considered normal to ask an actor to make out with other actors to test for chemistry. Which is actually the worst way to do it. I was told, ‘We have ten guys coming today, and you’re cast. Aren’t you excited to make out with all of them?’ And I thought, ‘Is there something wrong with me?’ because I wasn’t excited. I thought it sounded gross.

“We asked each of the actors coming in to choose a song that they felt their character would love, that they would put on to get my character to dance, and then we’d do a short little improv," Hathaway explained. "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.”

Next up, Hathaway is set to appear in three projects. The first is The Idea of You, along with Red, White, and Royal Blue's Nicholas Galitzine, Bad Mom's Annie Mumolo, and Graham Norton. The film premiered in South by Southwest back on March 16, 2024, and will be available to stream on Amazon Prime Video on May 2, 2024. Second is A24's Mother Mary for an unnamed role, and joining her are Euphoria star Hunter Schafer and Brave New World's Jessica Brown Findlay.
