Anne Hathaway Recalls Kissing During ‘Chemistry Tests’ in the 2000s: “Disgusting”

In a recent interview, Anne Hathaway, aged 41, talked about having to kiss 10 different men during “chemistry tests” in the 2000s.

“It was considered normal to ask an actor to be with other actors to test chemistry, which is actually the worst way to do it,” Hathaway told in the interview with the American magazine V Magazine.

“They told me: ‘We have 10 guys coming today and you are booked. Aren’t you excited to be with all of them?’. And I thought: ‘Is there something wrong with me?’, because I wasn’t excited. I thought it sounded disgusting,” explained the actress.

At the time, Hathaway said she was “terribly conscious” of how easy it was to lose everything by being labeled as “difficult,” despite being “so young.” “So I just pretended I was excited and carried on,” she added.

The actress, who did not mention any movie by name, noted that this was how things worked. “It wasn’t a power play, nobody was trying to be horrible or hurt me. It was a very different time, and now we know better.” This content was created with the help of AI and reviewed by the editorial team.
