"Really fun music. Really, really fun music, great concert scenes, unexpected love connections– sandwiches," remarked Hathaway, teasing the delightful surprises awaiting viewers.

Based on the acclaimed contemporary love story by author Robinne Lee, The Idea of You centers on Solène (portrayed by Hathaway), a 40-year-old single mom who embarks on an unexpected romance with Hayes Campbell (played by Galitzine), the 24-year-old lead singer of August Moon, the hottest boy band on the planet.

During the interview, Hathaway reflected on the film's portrayal of women facing societal pressures and who have “ceased to be seen”. "Robinne tapped into something very real. And she captured something very real that's not fair. And it's sort of shameful in its truth. And the best way to get rid of it is to change it by making something that lives in defiance of it," she noted, highlighting the film's empowering narrative.

Meanwhile, Gray delves into the essence of Galitzine's character – his portrayal as a public figure and musician. With candid honesty, Galitzine shared the inner workings of his creative process. As a young actor, still exploring and trying out new and exciting roles in the industry, Galitzine said, “I think who Hayes was off-camera and off-stage was intriguing to me, and I resonated with him. He's a vulnerable, very feeling young man. He has a very strong moral compass and he's just really– he's looking for that connection.”

Galitzine added, “I mean, maybe not consciously, but when he finds Solène, there's this instant sort of– I use the word nourishing a lot, but it really, it nourishes him and imbues him with this energy that I think he'd been missing a lot of his life and certainly not finding in his career.”

Gray, known for her authentic narratives weaving personal triumphs with struggles, champions the cause of female empowerment. Drawing from her own journey to the Miss Universe crown, she ignites a flame of inspiration, urging women to embrace both their challenges and victories. With grace and eloquence, she underscores the transformative power of shared experiences, nurturing resilience and self-assurance.

As a global icon of empowerment and representation, Gray’s conversation with Hathaway and Galitzine amplifies the film's message of inclusivity and self-discovery.

The Idea of You will stream exclusively on Prime Video beginning May 2.
