Anne Hathaway, who attended the NYC premiere of her upcoming film The Idea of You on Monday addressed the age gap between her and costar Nicholas Galitzine characters in the movie.
During her presence at the The Today Show ahead of film's premiere, Anne candidly spoke about playing the role of Solène, an older woman, who falls in love with a young guy in The Idea of You.
“It’s kind of fun to be in a film where we talk about it, where we don’t dance around it, but we actually embrace her point of view on it,” said the Interstellar actress of the film.
Reflecting on her character’s age gap with Nicolas’ in the film, Anne Hathaway expressed, “It’s funny, it’s OK if 40 is old, it’s OK if 40 isn’t old, it’s OK whatever it is, because it’s personal. For Solène, her point of view is, you know, she became a mom really young and she really wanted to have a career and so she doesn’t totally identify with her age.”
“She feels like maybe she’s done things a little bit out of order and for her, 40 means it’s a time … of self discovery for her. And that’s what the movie says … how wonderful that she finds someone that she feels so supported by, seen by, embraced by, valued by,” she added.
Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine starrer The Idea of You will be releasing on Amazon Prime Videos on May 1, 2024.
