It isn’t very often that we see Oscar-winning actress Anne Hathaway in the shoes of a pop star, but her upcoming movie ‘Mother Mary’ will feature her just like one! Anne Hathaway certainly rocks as an actor, but to become a pop star, she had to look for some advice to ace the role. In a new interview, the actress revealed that she took advice from Charlie XCX to get into her character.
Anne Hathaway took Charlie XCX’s advice
While speaking with People, ‘Devil Wears Prada’ star revealed she gathered insight from Charli XCX. “The person that I spoke to was Charli … I wanted to talk to her about the music, she wrote such amazing music that I was going to perform,” Hathaway told the outlet. “But I also just had a lot of questions for her about what her life was like, what the experience of being a pop star was.”
Anne Hathaway says she has respect for pop-stars
While filming, Hathaway gained a lot of respect for pop singers. “I just realized about pop stars is they’re endurance athletes who can do it all in platform heels,” she said, adding, “They are the most charming people on the planet, and they have this crazy self-belief, like they’re so driven to share what’s inside of them.”In contrast, Hathaway said, less vulnerability is required of her as an actress; instead, she likes to share what’s inside of her through a filter. For that reason, she’s ruled out a future career as a pop star: “I can’t see that happening,” she joked.The film’s music features original songs by Charli XCX, FKA Twigs, and Jack Antonoff, with the latter two also producing. In addition to Hathaway and Coel, ‘Mary’s cast includes Hunter Schafer, Atheena Frizzell, Kaia Gerber, Jessica Brown Findlay, Alba Baptista, Isaura Barbé-Brown, Sian Clifford, and FKA Twigs.‘Mother Mary’ debuts in select theaters on April 17 ahead of its US release on April 24.
