Casting directors from Anne Hathaway's films 'The Princess Diaries' and 'Brokeback Mountain' denied conducting 'gross' on-screen chemistry tests in auditions.
A recent bombshell from Anne Hathaway may not have the detonation radius some people think. In a V Magazine story published Monday, the 'Devil Wears Prada” alum said she was regularly asked to participate in uncomfortable chemistry tests while auditioning for roles in the 2000s. “It was considered normal to ask an actor to make out with other actors to test for chemistry, which is actually the worst way to do it,” Hathaway said. “I was told, ‘We have ten guys coming today and you’re cast.
'' “Brokeback Mountain” casting director Avy Kaufman told TMZ she has no recollection of anything similar to what Hathaway detailed in her cover story. She told The Times on Wednesday that she didn't have “any good stories” to share. TMZ also reported that Linda Lamontagne, who helped cast Hathaway in the 1999-2000 series “Get Real,” denied overseeing any chemistry read matching the actor’s description.
