Anne Hathaway Made People Cry With Her New Role

If you’ve seen David Lowery’s The Green Knight then you know he has an eye for… Something. He demands a lot of his actors, none more than Anne Hathaway who describes her role in their new film Mother Mary the toughest of her career.

“At one point Annie broke down and said, ‘I have to apologize, because I think what’s going to come out of me will hurt you.’ And Michaela took her hands and said, ‘I love you, I trust you.’ We were in various stages of that for about a week, shooting that scene,” Lowery told Vogue.

The film pivots on Hathaway’s character, a Lady Gaga type diva, and her strained relationship with her seamstress making her a new dress for her gig in a house that might be driving everyone insane. It’s a real trip with big gobs of body horror splashed on top.

Hathaway had to do choreography for non-existent songs, since they hadn’t been made yet. Her co-star Michaela Coel described the process. “The physicality she had to learn in preparation for this job — and it’s not just us in the barn, it’s the crew, it’s the producers, and so of course this day was terrifying, a little monster on her shoulder, but no one realized until after the first take. And then to keep doing it — take after take. That requires a lot of strength. Gallons and tons.”

According to her choreographer the crew, made up of big German fellas, wept at the end of the shoot that day. Sounds great!
