Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine Spark Unlikely Romance

Hathaway takes on the role of Solène, a single mother in her 40s, who encounters Hayes Campbell (Galitzine), a 24-year-old international rock star and former member of a boy band, during a trip to Coachella with her teenage daughter.

As their whirlwind romance unfolds, the challenges of Hayes' superstar status quickly emerge, testing their relationship. Solène finds herself navigating the complexities of motherhood, newfound fame, and her past with an ex-lover.

Dispelling the Harry Styles Comparison

The book and its film adaptation have garnered significant attention from fans who draw parallels between the character Hayes, portrayed by Galitzine, and Harry Styles during his One Direction era. However, the author of The Idea of You, Lee, has clarified in recent years that the character is not directly based on Styles.

Closing the 2024 SXSW Film & TV Festival, The Idea of You presents its debut single, Dance Before We Walk, available through Arista Records. The film features a talented cast including Ella Rubin, Reid Scott, Annie Mumolo, Viktor White, Raymond Cham, Jaiden Anthony, and Dakota Adan.

The Idea of You arrives on Prime Video on May 2nd.
