Anne Hathaway Talks About Working with Julie Andrews

It was so satisfying, because like everybody, you know, you're on set, and there's no way to be perfect. You mess up a take. But Julie Andrews looked an F-bomb fly. I mean, you want there to be a song about it, you know? That she would sing, and it would be the F-bomb song. Yeah, I don't want them to stop. I didn't want to sit. Yeah, no, and they won't stop. They're the friendliest, nicest people you'll ever find. How are you? I'm good, how are you? I'm really good. I have those shoes. You do? These are the best shoes, these Converse. You can't go wrong with these. They're awesome. You know, Michelle Williams, who's also in the movie, she has a pair, and she's had them for so long, they have holes all over them. Her socks are sticking out. I'm like, I think you can afford a new one. She can. Everybody can afford new ones after this movie. It's doing really well. I know it's a small release, but it's doing very, very well. Congratulations on all the success. Sometimes when people compliment you on a film, you're just kind of like, oh, I'm just glad we didn't all fall on our faces. But this one, I'm really proud of, so. You should be proud of it. It's absolutely beautiful. It's a beautiful story. It's beautiful to watch. The scenery is incredible. And that was in Canada? Is that where that was shot? We shot America and Canada, yeah. It was supposed to be Wyoming, right? Wyoming and Texas. God, it was just, it's just stunning. And now, and you're riding horses. A lot of people, that's what I loved about it, too. There are a lot of horses in the movie, which I love watching horseback riding. But, because you were good in it. Was that you, or was that somebody else riding? It was a combination of me and this unbelievably talented 15-year-old. Really? Yeah, she's 15. Doing the barrel racing? Yeah, she did kind of the fast stuff. But I turned, in that close-up, really convincingly. The horse, by the way, is going like seven miles an hour. But the real girl, though, she was incredible. Oh, I don't remember her name, though. But she was really, she was really something. Well, we'll put it in later. OK, thank you. We'll run it in the credits for something. Flashing under the screen. And had you ridden horses before? Well, you know, I'd been on horses. Ang actually asked me that during the audition. And I just told a bold-faced lie. And I was like, of course. I'm an Olympic jumper. And the truth is, I'd walked in that line that you go on when you're young, and you go to the rocking horse ranch with your family. And the horse in front of you is kind of passing gas. It happened. So you said, yes, you'd ridden a horse. And then it turns out, he didn't try you on it. He just hired you, and then you are. I mean, there wasn't a horse in the room at the audition. Right. Although, that would have been a first. Really, you do. So then you had to train all of a sudden. Yeah, I did. I did. So I actually learned in Central Park. I learned a lot about Texas and Manhattan, to be honest. Really? Yeah, I kind of prepared for the part at the library. And riding in Central Park. Mm-hmm, yes. And so tonight is the Golden Globes. And you have seven nominations. It's really incredible. And seven nominations, but it's the film. It's the film, but you're going, right? Oh, yeah, yeah, I'm there. I'm just going to clap louder than anybody else when all my peeps get up there. I just said peeps, I'm sorry. When all my people get up there to accept the awards. I like saying peeps. I think it's a good word. Well, yeah, I think it's a great word. Do you think it's too Hollywood to say peeps? No, no, no, not at all. I just, I'm not sure I have enough street cred to back it up. Oh, yeah. No, you were in like a little bling. It's OK. Absolutely, thank you. And did you just, did you go back to college? Is that what I just heard? Yeah, I was at Vassar for a while. And then all my friends decided to be consistent and graduate. And I haven't done that yet. And so I transferred to NYU. So now I'm there, and just chugging along, trying to get my degree. Well, I'm just about to switch majors. But my current one, you kind of create your own major. And mine is looking at the links between literature, international politics, and mass media slash art history. Yeah, that's what I'm, no, I'm working on that same thing. All right, we have to take a break. When we come back, we're going to talk about Julie Andrews, who you worked with. And she's on the show. And what a potty mouth she has. Terrible, you didn't know that. Yeah, she really does. It's unbelievable. We'll be right back with Anne Hathaway. All right, so before this movie, you did totally different kinds of movies. You did Princess Diaries. You did, is it, Ella Enchanted? You did that. And we're talking about, this is you and Julie Andrews right here, Princess Diaries 2, actually. Thank you. Oh, you saw it. Good. She really is an elegant woman. She gives the appearance of being so. She's such a lady. Yes, but. But everybody has their off-camera persona. The good news is she is so much fun, but she swears like a sailor. She really does. And I've got to say, it was so satisfying. Because like everybody, you're on set, and there's no way to be perfect. You mess up a take. But when Julie Andrews looked an F-bomb fly, I mean, you kind of want there to be a song about it. That she would sing, and it would be the F-bomb song. Yeah, she really is. It's one thing, but you can, doing a movie, obviously she does that, and you don't use that take. We're doing a show. She's on the set, and I'm trying to talk to her. And it was impossible to get an interview. This is when she was on the show. And that brings back so many memories. That was such an important film, I think. And I'd watch everybody sing along. What was it like working with all those kids? Oh, it was. Everybody thinks there are seven kids, but they were. The littlest one was the most for me, because she was just a tad. She's now this looking Monroe-esque. We had to do the whole interview over again. It was hard. We tried just bleeping it, but she's amazing, isn't she? Really, one of the most inspiring people I've ever met. So beautiful. I adore her. And congratulations to you. And as we go out, I just have to show this adorable picture of her dog. My love. This is a, look how cute that dog is. That's cute. Her name's Esmeralda. Esmeralda. Sorry, I'm so in love with her. She's cute, and she's in love with you. Look at that face.
