Anne Hathaway Cries During Emotional Interview

And Jake, I have to say, you always make me think of something that I haven't thought of before. It's just amazing. You just pull it right out of me. I've been really lucky. I've had and it makes me emotional. Sorry, I get very emotional when I think about that time. So, yeah, I'm really lucky. Where we're going, we don't need roads. Good to see you guys. Jake Hamilton, Good Day Chicago. Guys, I absolutely worship this film and I love both of you guys. Seriously, thank you for taking the time. Thank you. Thank you. I'm going to jump into this. When an actor plays a doctor, oftentimes they'll go talk to real doctors to learn more. When they play a pilot, a lot of times they'll go talk to real pilots. I'm curious, when you play parents, is there any value in going to your own parents to ask them questions? Or have you ever gone to your parents to ask for advice in regards to a role or a performance before? Well, actually, in this case, and Jake, I have to say, you always make me think of something that I haven't thought of before. It's just amazing. You just pull it right out of me. In this particular case, I asked a friend who I was describing my character and he said, oh, that's exactly my grandmother's story. And he told me that he had made tapes of her. And so just talking and telling stories about her life. And so he let me hear those tapes. And that was because there wasn't any footage or there wasn't video, there wasn't a sound recording. There was barely any pictures of my character available to me. So I had to kind of think color outside the box a little bit in terms of getting everything that I needed to feel like I could play this part. Oh, I love that. Jeremy, what about you? I mean, you know, all of those things. I mean, I think as an actor, you're a bit of a detective and you're searching for clues and you're searching for something that might unlock a character, whoever that is. So in this case, the truth is my father grew up in Queens. And so I did talk to my father. I never have before for anything I'm working on. But I had him record just memories of of the place and time. And I was also able to get a lot of stuff from James's father, who was still living at the time, asked him a lot of questions. And and got a sort of enough enough there to to build from to tell the story with hopefully, you know, accuracy and veracity. Love that, Jeremy. I read something recently I wanted to ask you about this when you were trying to break into the business. Did you hold a boom mic above Anthony Hopkins on the set of Amistad? I sure did. Yeah, I'm curious what you remember about that moment. Did you ever like how do you bring that up to him on the set of this? Oh, I completely brought it up. I think I was maybe 14 or 15. And and, you know, I just wanted to be around, wanted to be on sets. I wanted to watch what actors, you know, how they worked and what it was like. And we were at Sonolis Studios in Connecticut and I was holding a boom. And what I remember was a real master class. You know, I was an actor then, but I was, you know, I was just doing plays at school. But I remember Tony doing this speech to the Supreme Court as John Adams, you know, time after time after time, and he never stepped into the same river twice. And it was just seeing his fluidity and grace and command as an as an actor. And and it was wonderful and and wonderful to get to work with him. I mean, he's yeah, he's Kevin. He's a genius. Andy, they're giving me the rap, but I have to ask you just really quickly because I love you so much. You and I have been talking for many years now. I actually have a photo of our very first interview together. That was so cute. Her babies. And when I talk to people about the early days of my career, I always tell them I had no idea what I was doing. But you were so kind to go out of your way and you really helped me. And you taught me how to be better and you encouraged me to keep going. And I'll never forget that. So I've always wondered, I've never asked you, who was the person that did that for you? Who was the person in your career who helped you become the actress you are today in the way that you helped me become the journalist? You're very kind. And I think you're giving me far too much credit. I think you made yourself a journalist that I've been really lucky. I've had an. Makes me emotional. I've had a number of people who have taken an interest in me and supported me. I could name them all, but I'm just going to go with some of the bolder named ones. Gary Marshall was a big one for me. Jonathan Demi was a really big one for me. Julie Andrews. I mean, all of these people. Stanley Tucci, actually, in a lot of ways, you know, just kind of he was just there for me. He was watching me. And if he saw something that I could maybe be doing with a little bit more ease for myself, he he was a pal. And he would tell me about it. So sorry, I get very emotional when I think about that time. So, yeah, I'm really lucky. Well, as am I, because I get to talk to you guys for beautiful films like this. Jeremy, it's an honor to meet you, sir. And Annie, from the bottom of my heart, I have always and will always love you. And I am not giving you too much credit. I'm literally in this chair because of you. So thank you from the bottom of my heart, Jake. Thank you. Love you guys.
