Anne Hathaways Adorable Flirting Fails | The Idea of You | The Graham Norton Show

But I hear, Anne, you were very, very excited to work with Matthew. I was excited to work with Matthew, yeah. I mean, who wouldn't be? He's amazing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was excited to work with Anne. But tell the people why you were excited to work with Matthew. Well, I was... There were a few reasons. I had been a fan for, you know, a while, like many people. And I remember sitting down with Chris to talk about the film. He said he'd written a new screenplay and he told me the story and I thought it sounded amazing. And I said, well, that lead role sounds unbelievable. Who are you going to cast in it? And he said, well, I've been thinking about Matthew McConaughey. And, you know, everybody flashback. This is in early 2013. So the McConaissance hasn't happened yet. So we haven't, you know, woken up to the genius of this man yet. And he and he goes, oh, you think that's a that's a good idea. Have you seen Mutt? And I said, no, I've seen Magic Mike. And Chris goes, oh, yeah. Well, most people who've seen Mutt think that, you know, I'm just like Magic Mike. Magic Mike is the performance. And Chris is like, oh, and then he clearly wants to move the conversation along. And I will not shut up how much I love Matthew in that film. You're so good in that movie because, yes, it's like it's hot and sexy and you thrust and stuff, but you also I mean, it's just such an incredible character and it's so deep and he's scary and he's funny. And he's like hot. But he's also so skeevy. And it's just it's like and I remember I walked out of the theater and you know this. I walked out of the theater and I turned to all my friends because we all went to see it together. And I said, Matthew McConaughey is going to win an Oscar. And I knew it the second I saw you like pressed up in that a breakdancing pose, scissor leg of the camera shooting up your Cobra codpiece. I said, that man is going to win an Oscar. And I was right. Yeah, it's remarkable for me to be sitting on this sofa with these people who have who have inspired me from when I was very, very young. Oh, you're welcome to. Jane and Haraway. The other connections are more obvious. Obviously, Anne and Bob, you're in a movie, the new movie, The Intern together. Yeah. And I hear, though, you have been spreading misinformation about Bob. I'm so sorry about this. Yes, I didn't mean to, but I made the world believe that Robert De Niro is a fan of The Bachelor. And as it turns out, it was my mistake. And I he was being sarcastic in an email where he was told that we were one of our trailers or something was premiering in front of The Bachelor. And Nancy said, Bob, I know you're such a fan. And Bob said, you bet your ass I'm a fan of The Bachelor. And I was like, this is such good goss. And then I stupidly told a journalist about it. And now Bob has had to answer nonstop questions for this entire press tour about what a fan of The Bachelor is, what's his favorite season. What does he think of the rose ceremony? Have you ever even seen it? No. Annie especially, she enjoys when I like insult her. It's true. Yeah. You're really good at it. And she's very easy to insult. I mean, I don't know. It's just something about your sincerity or something like, you know what? I'm not even going to argue with it. I know it's true. My favorite is when you called me an animatronic cock tease. Yeah, because on that day, you really looked like that. But you called me a big titted Russell Crowe. You asked me to. No, no, no, no, no. You're misrepresenting that story. But I was like, you know, Annie, call me a big titted Russell Crowe on this. Did I make up that? You did for yourself. There's zero gravity in it. So what is I mean, because some movies, they, you know, they do it in different ways. So how do they achieve it on this? It's a few different ways. I mean, sometimes we were on a wire, 80 feet in the air. Other times you were on the end of a gimbal like a seesaw. And other times I know you. Can you show your one leg move? Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes it was very high tech. I would stand on one leg and sort of float around. I hear you're very good at it. Can you show us? Can you show us? Are you sure? I mean, it's very difficult. Yeah, no, let's see it. Let's see it. We'll put some music on, put some music on. Some room, make some room. Oh, here she goes, here she goes, here she goes. For two and a half hours. Wait, you also do an impression. I do Britney Spears. This is an oldie, but a goodie. OK. Oh, baby, baby, how was I supposed to know that something wasn't right here? Oh, baby, baby, I shouldn't have let you go. Now you're out of sight. Like how petty do arguments get in your house? It's usually me and it's usually because I'm hungry. So we have a lot of hangry fights. And one time I picked a fight with him. To be fair, it was during like day three of my extreme weight loss diet for Les Mis and I picked a fight with him about a sunset. Like whether it was pretty or not. No, no. OK, so the early days of the weight loss, I was a little manic and I I went outside and I was like I was feeling things pretty intensely. And I saw the sunset and I was like, oh, my God, it's the most beautiful sunset I've ever seen. Come on. And so I ran inside and my husband, who is being so nice and like holding my hand through this, you know, I get the early days of this is pretty hard. He's been so nice. He's literally he's like, I need to have a 15 minute work called one point during the day. And I burst inside. I'm like, honey, there's a sunset outside. We have to go. And he was like, OK, I'm on the work call. And I just sunk. I just immediately pull a sulk. And I'm sitting there. I'm like, well, it's happening right now. We're going to miss it. So then he is like, OK, I just need five minutes, babe. And it's like and it's a and it's a work call. And I'm sitting there and I make it about 30 seconds. My patience is not there. And finally, I stand up. I'm like, OK, you know, he's on a work call. And I'm like, OK, I'm going outside. You can come find me. I'm really bad. And so then and the thing is, we're at a hotel which is on like 100 acre estate, like the front yard is 20 acres in the backyard is 80 acres. And he's like, well, OK. He's so sweet. He's like, OK, sweetie, I'll come find you wherever you be. And I go, I'm not in the front. I'll be in the back. And then I hid behind a statue and stuck my foot out and got mad when he couldn't find me. I was a horrible, horrible bitch that day. That was a successful flirt. Because he did come find me. Now, Anne Hathaway, you've also produced something since you were last here, a human being. Yes. Oh, yes. Thank you. I'll start with Jonathan. And he's three now? Yes, he is. Three. And I'm sure he's delightful. I'm sure you have a lovely relationship. But he apparently, is this true that he doesn't like you to sing at all? He does not. He does not like my singing voice in this. Like, how does he react to you singing? Well, like sometimes like he's very calm and I'm like, OK, this is it. This is the moment. And so I'll maybe start to sing a song that I know he likes. And he goes, Mama, Mama, no, no. And then like I'll give it a minute and he goes, Mama, Mama, Mama, no. Tough crowd. You're like the most amazing singer. He doesn't care. Have you shown him your Oscar for Les Miserables? I've been whacking him around the head with it. You have children. No, I don't. Social service is not a best idea. Yeah, but, you know, he loves Peppa Pig, like absolutely loves it. And we had a really amazing moment when I was kind of sat at the piano and he loves the Peppa Pig Christmas episode. And I was trying to sing, work out one of the ones on the piano and he let me sing it for him. And so I'm like kind of tearing up because it's been a full two years of like I'm not allowed to sing to my child. And and then he I was singing, he was crying, singing Peppa Pig to him. Oh, it was so lovely. That's nice. So at least you've got one. I've got one small bossy pig working in my favour. Yeah, I thought a short evening with Anne Hathaway. Audience of one. At that time, roundly, when the Oscar buzz was all, you know, intense because kind of you were the favourite and everything. There were all these parties people go to. And I mean, was it a dinner or a cocktail party that you went to with Daniel Craig? Oh, well, so it's like these moments happen when you feel like you've been we've gone through the looking glass, you know, and before that, you thought that things were one way and then you kind of get invited into like the secret part. So it was a party that I'd always thought was a cocktail party. But then things started to go really well. And then I found it was actually a dinner party, too, if you think you're going really well. So I am at the dinner part and then like all the Tinder date. You have to do the drinks first. Going, well, you get you get the dinner. So so I so I I'm there and you know, it's just amazing because you work really hard and there's no guarantees that it's ever going to happen. And then it like starts to. And and so I'm I'm they clear away the tables. And you're like, what's oh, it's the cocktail part. And then Daniel Craig walks in and I'm like, oh, my God, who's at the party before Daniel Craig? Like, are you kidding me? This is amazing. And then and I'm like, what am I like? Can I go introduce myself to him? Am I allowed to look at him like what's going on? And I look up and Daniel Craig is going and he mouths this. Hey, you **** you. And I'm like, oh, my God, I have made it so much that Daniel Craig doesn't even know me and he's messing with me. So I'm just like, **** me, **** you. And then he goes, ah, **** you. I'm just like, no, no, no, no, no, **** you. And then he just goes, **** you. And I go, I'm sorry, I can't hear you. Do you want me to turn it off? And then Daniel Craig goes, oh, not you behind me. And Stephen Daldry is doing the rudest things you've ever seen. And I just look up and Daniel Craig and I just pretend we don't know each other. I know Anne Hathaway, you didn't get it right straight away. No, I did not. I did not. I actually you just reminded me of another time because I was pretty miserable at it for a very long time. And I remember this one time, you know, I was in a school play and we were all hanging out backstage and I was very nervous because there was a boy I liked and he was in it. And, you know, you want to sound grown up. You want to sound like you. You know what you're talking about. I did this. It was so embarrassing. And I was just like somehow like somebody made a joke about sex or something like, hey, guys, we should have an orgy. That's like when I was a kid, I thought oral sex was talking about sex. I was like, I've done that. It's a big deal. Orgy. Orgy. And that didn't work? No, no. But I remember the first time, like I tried. I mean, I remember I was I was 12 and I I wasn't cool, but I was friends with a cool girl and she had an older brother who was in high school. We were in middle school and we got a ride from one of her brother's friends. And I was like freaking out, you know? So I'm just like sitting in the backseat, like, like really nervous. I don't know how to sit. I don't know. Do I look out the window? Do I stare ahead? Like, what do you do? And I'm just sitting there trying to figure out what I'm going to like, how to how to be cool, how to be tough. Like, I want to be a tough, cool girl. That's what I want. I want to be a tough, cool girl. And so then he's like and my older brother didn't have gone to middle school with him, but had gone to a different high school. And he was like, hey, you're you're my Kathleen's little sister, right? Like. And he was like, well, your name's Annie. And I go, yeah, who the **** are you? I thought some cool girl. Well, except I was neither tough nor cool. It didn't work. It didn't work. That didn't work. That did not work either. That is in the book. Lots of advice.
