Anne Hathaway shares ice-breaking tips

Anne Hathaway recently revealed how she manages to break the ice during romantic scenes.

Anne emphasised on the need to be vulnerable and connect with your co-actor. Talking about her The Idea of You co-star, Nicholas Galitzine, she said, “I think it's just about trying to connect and be vulnerable with each other. It's hard to force vulnerability, but like the way we did it, we were lucky. Nick was amazing because, once he was cast, he was really proactive about, 'Can I text you?' He just showed up with some icebreaker questions. Like, 'What's your favorite food? What will your last meal be? Are you noticing a pattern? Do you know that I'm Greek?' There's more of a statement than a fact.”

The actor further added, “And then, showing each other care and curiosity. I think that kind of let each of us know who the other person was and who we were dealing with. That helped in opening up, as much as knowing that Nick's last meal involves octopus.”
