Prior to attending the premiere, Gray first had the chance to virtually interview the Hollywood stars about their upcoming May-December film. 

Since “Idea of You” tells the story of a 40-year-old single mother who started an unforbidden romance with a 24-year-old boy band singer, Gray asked Hathaway how she thinks their film can resonate with real-life women who tend to feel they are already past their age for romance.

“It’s a fantastic question,” Hathaway told Gray. “I’m so happy that you referenced Robin. This book was such a gift. I think Robin tapped into something very real. That’s not fair and is sort of shameful in its truth, and the best way to get rid of it is to change it by making something that lives in defiance of it. I think the best way is to try to fix something that you need fixing.”

In a separate interview, Hathaway revealed the reason she accepted the role in the film despite the criticism she received, as she’s known for her high-end and award-winning roles. 

“I don’t want to be pigeonholed and don’t want to be placed in a box of what type of films I have to be making because of my age, gender, and because I won an Oscar. I want to have fun, dammit. It speaks to me,” she said in an interview at SXSW.

“Idea of You” will premiere on Prime Video on May 2nd.
