The Oscar-winning actress tells people to 'chill' on speculation that her upcoming romantic comedy is inspired by the 'Watermelon Sugar' singer the 'Don't Worry Darling' director's past relationship.

AceShowbiz - Anne Hathaway has vehemently denied speculation that her upcoming romantic comedy is inspired by Harry Styles's past relationship with Olivia Wilde. "No, just no," Hathaway told Extra in response to the rumors. "I think people need to chill."

"The Idea of You", based on Robinne Lee's 2017 novel of the same name, stars Hathaway as Solene Marchand, a divorced mother who embarks on a whirlwind romance with a younger pop star, Hayes Campbell, played by Nicholas Galitzine.

Hathaway emphasized that the film focuses on "what it takes to recover from a broken heart." Solene's "heart was absolutely smashed by her ex-husband," she explained. "She invested so much in her family, and now she has to wonder if she was ever really loved."

While Lee has acknowledged that Styles served as inspiration for Hayes' character, she has stressed that the novel is not about him. "It was never supposed to be a book about Harry Styles," Lee said in an interview.

Galitzine, who plays Hayes, addressed the speculation surrounding the film's connection to Styles. "It's funny just because it's become this thing in of itself," he said. "We have tried to distance ourselves from that."

Hathaway shared that her character initially approaches the relationship with Hayes as "just a bit of fun." However, she later realizes that it has the potential to be more meaningful. "If she's going to participate in it, she's going to have to let some other things go," she said.

"The Idea of You" is scheduled to premiere on Amazon Prime on May 2.
