She shared,“Nick was such a rock.”
It came to a point where she no longer could finish the day. She told the director that she needed energy and Michael Showalter found the perfect solution for her.

She shared that she was in the moment with Galitzine with whatever energy she had left in her. She shared,“[Galitzine] just poured energy in me. I was in the moment and I had exactly enough left for whatever was happening, and I just needed to not blow it.”She shared that Galitzine did the heavy lifting in the scene and she just needed to react to it.

The two actors had intimate scenes in the film. They were often intense, so intimacy coordinators actively guided them through such scenes. In an interview withBritish GQ, Galitzine shared that the intimacy coordinators would give them Listerine strips for the scenes. After the film, Hathaway gifted him a painting of Listerine strips. He shared:
Oftentimes, our intimacy coordinator would come in and give us a Listerine strip. And we used them so much that Annie was kind enough to commission a painting of Listerine strips for me. And now I have that hanging up in my apartment.
The Idea of Youis based on Robinne Lee’s novel of the same name. The character of Anne Hathaway madesome significant deviations from the book. Solène in the book was more like a damsel in distress. The hero shows up and saves her from her dormant s*xual life. However, the film did away with such a stereotype, which was actually praised by fans.
The Idea of Youis now available for streaming on Prime Video.
