Oscar-winning actor Anne Hathaway has opened up a few sure follow she confronted early in her movie profession that she now finds outdated and uncomfortable. The ‘Les Miserables’ actor revealed that throughout the 2000s, it was frequent for casting administrators to ask actors to have interaction in “make out” classes with a number of potential co-stars to check for on-screen chemistry, in line with E! News.
“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,” the 41-year-old actor disclosed in an interview.
Hathaway, identified for her roles in movies like ‘The Princess Diaries’ and ‘The Devil Wears Prada,’ described feeling uneasy concerning the state of affairs. “I thought, ‘Is there something wrong with me?’ because I wasn’t excited. I thought it sounded gross,” she recalled.
Despite her discomfort, the actor felt strain to conform, fearing being labelled as “difficult.” “It wasn’t a power play,” she clarified including, “No one was trying to be awful or hurt me. It was just a very different time, and now we know better.” Now with extra expertise and affect in the business, Hathaway is advocating for change. As a producer on her newest undertaking ‘The Idea of You,’ she ensured that such practices have been left behind.
