Anne Hathaway Says One Unique Sex Scene in ‘The Idea of You’ Became a ‘North Star’ for the Movie’s Intimacy: It ‘Makes it About Her Pleasure’


Anne Hathaway portrays a 40-year-old single mother who falls for a 29-year-old Harry Styles-esque pop star played by Nicholas Galitzine.

Despite their rom com-heavy résumés, Anne Hathaway and actor-turned-director Michael Showalter had never met prior to collaborating on the May-December love story “ The Idea of You,” which bows May 2 on Amazon Prime Video. Unless you count that one time at Beverly Hills’ Gucci Osteria, which in 2022 was the site of a dinner party to celebrate Jessica Chastain’s Oscar nomination for the Showalter-directed film “The Eyes of Tammy Faye.” I never saw the original theatrical runs of “Pretty Woman,” “Notting Hill” or “My Best Friend’s Wedding” — clearly, I’m a Julia Roberts fan!
