, according to the film’s star Nicholas Galitzine.
And, before you ask, the actor does firmly identify as a feminist himself.
“I think we all should be, as men,” Galitzine tells Glamour.In the film, based on the book of the same name by Robinne Lee, Galitzine plays Hayes Campbell, a hunky, 24-year-old boy band frontman who falls in love with 40-year-old single mother Solène (Anne Hathaway) after a chance encounter in his personal trailer at .Nicholas Galitzine and Anne Hathaway in The Idea of You.Much like its source material, The Idea of You doesn’t shy away from a steamy sex scene, and Galitzine doesn’t shy away from talking about such scenes.
The actor has some experience filming especially spicy moments—memorably, for instance, when he played Prince Henry in another romance novel turned Amazon Prime film, .“I think female pleasure is the sort of protagonist in this movie,” says Galitzine.
“These scenes, obviously there is a sensuality to it, but they’re not salacious.
They're incredibly connective.
It's about two people, from very different backgrounds and circumstances, who share a deep simpatico and fall in love.” In fact, Galitzine says one of the film’s hottest scenes, in his opinion, is the one in which Hayes and Soléne dance around their hotel room in a bit of post-coital silliness, because it shows such “beautiful aftercare and connectivity.”“I think female pleasure is the sort of protagonist in this movie."“Annie and I, and [director] Michael [Showalter], we spoke about this, and I think there is so much hope in the movie,” Galitzine says.
“So many women feel this sense that their life is over at 40, and that is not what this movie is about.

Robinne Lee, the author of The Idea of You, regrets initially stating that the story was inspired by Harry Styles.
SPOILER ALERT: This story discusses plot elements from “The Fall Guy,” now playing in theaters. Long before Taylor Swift embarked on the Eras Tour, director David Leitch and producer Kelly McCormick had the idea to use “All Too Well” as a key moment in “The Fall Guy.” McCormick, a self-professed Swiftie, and Leitch were trying to find a fresh and contemporary song to fit into a particular scene. In the film, Ryan Gosling plays Colt Seavers, one of Hollywood’s top stuntmen. After experiencing an on-set accident, he falls off the grid for 18 months, ghosting aspiring director Jody (Emily Blunt), someone he also happens to be dating.
The new movie The Idea of You is based on the best-selling book by Robinne Lee and it has often been considered to be “Harry Styles fan fiction,” something that she doesn’t feel is an accurate way to describe her work.
The Met Gala is always one of the biggest red carpets of the year and we often see couples together that don’t step out in public too much.
Zack Sharf Digital News Director The summer movie season kicks off in theaters this month with “The Fall Guy,” “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes,” “Furiosa” and more big budget studio tentpoles. Streaming platforms are also going big with buzzy originals (from Prime Video’s “The Idea of You,” starring Anne Hathaway, to Netflix’s star-studded comedy “Unfrosted”) as well as some of the best movies of 2023 (Sean Durkin’s “The Iron Claw” and Michael Mann’s “Ferrari”) making their debuts on platforms such as Netflix, Max, Hulu and more.
With their newest film The Idea of You, a May-December romance based on the novel by Robinne Lee, filmmaker Michael Showalter and producer Jordana Mollick appear to have hit the zeitgeist yet again.
In this week’s episode of The Discourse, host Mike DeAngelo gets swept up in the whirlwind romance at the heart of “The Idea of You” with writer/director Michael Showalter (“The Big Sick,” “The Eyes of Tammy Faye,” “Wet Hot American Summer”). The movie is based on the book of the same name and follows a forty-year-old woman reeling from a divorce who stumbles into a romance with a twenty-something singer from the world’s biggest boy band.
The Idea Of You is now streaming on Prime Video, and you may be seeing a lot of comparisons to Harry Styles.
Zack Sharf Digital News Director Victoria Justice, best known for her starring role on Nickelodeon’s “Victorious,” recently said on SiriusXM’s “Hits 1 LA with Tony Fly and Symon” that her upcoming role in the movie “Depravity” required her to film her first sex scene. The experience was “uncomfortable” but the crew pulled it off with “taste.” “My first day on set I had my first ever sex scene. I’m like, ‘Really, guys? We’re gonna schedule this for the first day? Cool.
Anne Hathaway’s career in Hollywood began 23 years ago with a family movie about every teen girl’s ultimate fantasy — her geeky character discovered she was actually royalty.Now 41, the actress has delivered a second dose of impossible escapism with “The Idea of You,” an, ahem, steamier, R-rated flick clearly made for the older millennials who obsessed over “The Princess Diaries” back in the aughts.Her latest fizzy project instead realizes the dream of every bored woman in their thirties and forties: She plays an exhausted single mom who has a fling with a famous, 24-year-old British boybander. And why not? What fun.Anyway, I suspect that aspirational viewers of “The Idea of You,” a decadent diversion that’s based on the popular novel by Robinne Lee, would much rather jet set around Europe with Harry Styles than live in a moldy 300-year-old palace and cut ribbons.
