Hollywood star Anne Hathaway, known for her roles in films like ‘The Princess Diaries’ and ‘The Devil Wears Prada’, recently opened up about an uncomfortable audition experience she faced in the early 2000s.
In an interview with V magazine, Hathaway recalled being asked to kiss multiple actors during an audition to ‘test for chemistry’. She described the process as ‘gross’ and questioned its effectiveness in determining on-screen chemistry between actors.
Despite her reservations, Hathaway revealed that she pretended to be excited about the audition to avoid being labeled as difficult. She emphasized that the industry has since evolved and such practices are no longer considered acceptable.
Hathaway’s experience highlights the changing norms and attitudes towards audition processes in the entertainment industry, emphasizing the importance of respecting actors’ boundaries and fostering a professional and comfortable environment during auditions.
