Topher Grace has to thank his role in Valentine’s day to Anne Hathaway having a crush on him before they made the movie. According to
OK! Garry Marshall likes his actors to have chemistry and he said, “Anne Hathaway, she told me (about) this actor she once had a crush on – we hired him, Topher Grace; they kissed very well.” We know that Anne had a thing for the That ’70s Show star, but now I wonder if he had a crush on The Princess Diaries actress and that is why “they kissed very well”?
BTW Garry also talked about another couple that he hired for the movie that he thought had chemistry beforehand, “Julia Roberts… Bradley Cooper, she did a play (Three Days of Rain) on Broadway with him, 98 performances, they must have gotten along! We matched up.” That is not always true, it was rumored that Jeremy Piven’s castmates did not get along with him when he did Speed the Plow?
