Anne Hathaway recently revealed a disturbing audition experience from her early career, where she was required to kiss 10 male actors for a chemistry test. This incident highlights the outdated and problematic practice of chemistry tests, which are now recognized as potentially damaging. Hathaway contrasted this experience with the positive audition process for her upcoming romantic comedy, ‘The Idea of You.’ She emphasized the importance of genuine chemistry and ease in the audition process, rather than relying on physical demonstrations of affection. Hathaway’s experience serves as a reminder of the evolving standards in the entertainment industry, with a shift towards more respectful and professional casting practices.
