Busted on video making out with sexy Boy Toy |
Who'd you go to see? - August Moon! |
In shocking revelations, she has a teenage daughter, too. It was the girl who dragged mom to the big Woodstock in the desert event, where she hooked up with a straight boy band singer, Hayes Campbell. Why he's young enough to be her own son! That shameless hussy?
Actor Anne Hathaway was once very famous. |
Is there anything she won't do for attention? Who would star in such a movie, all about real life goings on? It seems Hathaway is embracing the "unconventional" age gap -- playing cougar to some young cub -- in the new movie, The Idea of You.
While it's serious sex, it hides under the cloak of "rom-com." In this scandalous upcoming romantic comedy, Hathaway plays 40-year-old Solène Marchand, a single mom who takes her daughter to Coachella to see her favorite boy band, August Moon.
When she has a chance meeting with that band’s 24-year-old frontman, "Hayes Campbell," played by Nicholas Galitzine, sparks fly between them and they strike up an unexpected romance.

Hathaway and Galitzine stopped by TODAY on Monday, April 29, to talk about it and the conversations it has sparked around romantic age gaps.
Old Anglo Martin Freeman recently spoke to The Times of London about the backlash that erupted over his movie Miller's Girl earlier this year. The erotic thriller opened in theaters in January and caused a stir on social media due to intimate scenes between Freeman and his co-star young Latina Jenna "Lolita" Ortega (Beetlejuice 2). The movie casts the "Wednesday" favorite as an 18-year-old student who is attracted to her writing teacher (Freeman) and attempts to start an affair with him. Freeman is 31 years older than Ortega. Martin Freeman reacts to outrage over ‘Miller's Girl' 31-year age gap with Jenna Ortega: The film is ‘grown up and nuanced' and not saying ‘Isn't this great?'Why would "love" do this to people? Why not? - Jenna Ortega, 21, was totally 'comfortable and sure' about filming X-rated sex scene with Martin Freeman, 52, for Miller's Girl, film's intimacy coordinator insists -- as she hits back at critics who branded it 'gross' (Daily Mail)

“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,” Hathaway said.
There’s no doubt The Idea of You subverts traditional rom-com tropes by featuring a relationship between a 40-year-old single mother cougar and a much younger man-child.
However, as Hathaway points out, being 40 can mean different things to different people, and it’s the relationship between two individuals that ultimately matters.
“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,” she explained. “For [my character] 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,” she continued. “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.”
Is it IRL or Hollywood?

Hathaway also said she “poured so much love, so much life experience into this film.” Galitzine and Hathaway also revealed they had instant chemistry as "friends" off-screen.

“The whole room, it wasn’t just me...Nick sang at the audition with his guitar and looked at me sometimes,” she answered with a laugh. Was The Idea of You age gap the same in the book?
The Idea of You is based on a 2017 novel of the same name by Robinne Lee.
- While the plot of the movie is similar to the book, the characters’ ages were changed slightly in the film adaptation. In the movie, Solène is 40 and Hayes is 24, while in the book, the characters have a larger age gap: Solène is 39, while Hayes is just 20.
