Actress Anne Hathaway has said playing the role of a fictional global pop star was “terrifying”.<\/p>\n

“It was not comfortable, it did not feel natural,” she said at a special screening of psychological drama Mother Mary in London on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

Hathaway added: “We filmed very out of order, in kind of a disjointed fashion.<\/p>\n

“So along the way, I built my confidence. But before that came in, it was just like, terrible every day.<\/p>\n

“I mean, I felt kind of under-rehearsed. So you\u2019re just like, don\u2019t let it show, just go out there and give everybody a really good time, and if all else fails, then you\u2019re going to be edited very well.”<\/p>\n

\nAnne Hathaway and Michaela Coel star in Mother Mary<\/p>\n

She stars in the film alongside British actress Michaela Coel, who said an intimacy coordinator helped her and Hathaway to be “vulnerable” with each other.<\/p>\n

Coel said: “We had an intimacy coordinator help us with breathing techniques and being very present with each other.<\/p>\n

“And I think that really improved how we allowed ourselves to be as vulnerable as we were with each other in the moment.”<\/p>\n

Asked about taking on the role, Coel added: “I have to love the words. Other actors are really good at taking lines that might not be like that great and make them sound incredible. I\u2019m not that actor.<\/p>\n

“I really need magic in scripts. I need to be able to eat the words and to sit on my tongue well. I just need a good script.”<\/p>\n
