In a recent interview with V Magazine, Anne Hathaway opened up about her past experiences with chemistry tests. The actress recalled being asked to make out with other actors during auditions, a practice she described as “the worst way to do it.”
Hathaway said she often felt uncomfortable with chemistry tests but was afraid to speak up out of fear of being labeled difficult and losing out on roles. She noted that the industry has since changed its approach to auditions. “No one was trying to be awful or hurt me. It was just a very different time and now we know better,” she said.
Hathaway’s comments have sparked a discussion about the appropriateness of chemistry tests in the acting industry. Many actors have come forward to share their own experiences with the practice, which has been criticized for being subjective and potentially exploitative.
