00:00According to People, actor Anne Hathaway revealed how being a mother helped her better understand
00:06her role in the romantic comedy, The Idea of You.
00:10At the New York City premiere of The Idea of You, the American actress said that her
00:15understanding of her character, Solene, was aided by the love she has for her sons, Jack
00:21and Jonathan, whom she co-parents with her husband, Adam Schulman.
00:26I don't think it's necessary to be a mother to play a mother.
00:30I think that should be open to lots of different actors," said Anne.
00:34But for me, in terms of understanding the depth of love that you can feel for this person
00:40and what you would be willing to do, I felt like it allowed the love for Heist to be even
00:45bigger for Solene, because she loves her daughter more than anything.
00:50She added,
00:51I mean, we love our children beyond words, and for her to choose her daughter over him,
00:56I don't know, it just made their love that much more important.
01:00Talking about her favourite scene, Hathaway expressed,
01:03I love the scene where she shows him art.
01:05It's beautifully described.
01:07I mean, I love this book.
01:09I love this book," she continued.
01:11And so that one, just kind of seeing and getting to it with Nick, who's a great partner, that
01:16was amazing, and I have to say the ending.
01:19For the unversed, the film is based on Robin Lee's 2017 novel of the same name, which enters
01:26on a 40-year-old singer-mother, played by Anne, who develops feelings for Nicholas Gladstein's
01:32character, a 24-year-old international music artist.
01:36The romantic comedy film is scheduled to premiere at Amazon Prime Video from May 2, 2024.
