Anne Hathaway Talks 'Gross' Audition Where She Had to Kiss 10 Different Actors

Anne Hathaway is looking back at a “gross” moment in her career when she had to kiss 10 different actors in one day.

The 41-year-old actress had already landed a role in the undisclosed movie, but the producers were still in the process of casting her male co-star.

She continued, “I was told, ‘We have ten guys coming today and you’re cast. Aren’t you excited to make out with all of them?’ And I thought, ‘Is there something wrong with me?’ because I wasn’t excited. I thought it sounded gross.”

“I was so young and terribly aware how easy it was to lose everything by being labeled ‘difficult,’ so I just pretended I was excited and got on with it. It wasn’t a power play, no one was trying to be awful or hurt me. It was just a very different time and now we know better,” she added.
