Anne HathawayThe new rom-com has many of the same elements as Olivia Wilde It is Harry Styles‘ single real relationship – but AH says there is no connection there.
The actress’ latest film, “The Idea of You,” is about a 40-year-old single mother — played by Anne — who begins a steamy romance with a super young 24-year-old boy band singer, played by Nicholas Galitzine …that’s why people think OW and HS are the inspiration.
As you know… Olivia was also a single mother when she hooked up with Harry a few years ago – which is why people believe Anne and co. they took their story to Amazon Prime.
Unfortunately for everyone who hoped this to be true… Anne explicitly shut it down in a recent interview with Extra this week while promoting the film.
When asked explicitly about Olivia and Harry’s theory, AH responded. “No, just no.” Instead, Anne says the film is about her character making every effort to recover from heartbreak after her ex-husband leaves her in pieces… so more generic than anything.
There may be some parallels… but it’s nothing like Anne and co. I looked for it as a reference, despite what some might think.
But back to Anne… she’s saying her new role was perfect for her to dive into at this point in her career – although some have suggested she’s perhaps above that. Anne says she just wanted to have fun and it looks like she’s doing that in this film.
