Solène (Anne Hathaway), a 40-year-old single mom, begins an unexpected romance with 24-year-old Hayes Campbell (Nicholas Galitzine), the lead singer of August Moon, the hottest boy band on the planet. When Solène must step in to chaperone her teenage daughter’s trip to the Coachella Music Festival after her ex bails at the last minute, she has a chance encounter with Hayes and there is an instant, undeniable spark. As they begin a whirlwind romance, it isn’t long before Hayes’ superstar status poses unavoidable challenges to their relationship, and Solène soon discovers that life in the glare of his spotlight might be more than she bargained for.
Fans believe Harry Styles inspired the romance novel ‘The Idea of You’ because Hayes Campbell is a young British musician who is the lead singer of the fictional band August Moon, much like the former One Direction singer. However, the book the film is based on was originally published in June of 2017, three years before Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde began dating.
Solène’s office features a poster of pioneering abstract Swedish artist Hilma af Klint, whose paintings are among the first abstract works known in Western art history.
Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine each starred in Cinderella adaptations — Ella Enchanted (2004) and Cinderella (2021), respectively.
Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine are both big Arsenal fans, who play football in the English premier league. During an interview promoting this film, Nicholas checked his phone telling Anne that Arsenal had just scored a goal, Anne asked who had scored and was told that Trossard had scored and Anne said that she loved him. A few days later Leonardo Trossard recorded a video for Anne and Nicholas saying how pleased he was that they were fans.
