"It was disgusting." Anne Hathaway told how she was forced to kiss ten guys before filming

Anne Hathaway told in an interview with V Magazine how she passed “chemistry tests” before filming: to do this, she had to kiss several guys in turn. According to the 41-year-old actress, 20 years ago this was considered quite normal and common.

"Back in the 2000s - and this actually happened to me - it was considered normal to ask an actor to kiss other actors to test chemistry," she said. According to the actress, she didn't like it, but she didn't mind because she didn't want to be considered "difficult."

"They told me, 'You've been cast and you have to kiss ten guys. Aren't you glad?" And I thought, "Is there something wrong with me? Because I wasn't excited. I thought it sounded rude,” she recalls.

The actress added that no one is to blame in this situation. "No one was trying to be terrible or want to hurt me. It was just a very difficult time, and now we know better what to do." Today, film sets often employ intimate scene coordinators whose job is to ensure that the actors are comfortable.

Anne Hathaway often talks about the underbelly of the acting profession. She previously said that at the moment when she suffered a miscarriage, she had to constantly play a woman in a Broadway production who, according to the plot of the play, gives birth to a child.
