Emotional manipulation is so disgusting.
It meant Hathaway was expected to date the male lead in real life, or at least that was what they would announce to the public.
Only then would the fans of the couple be happy and willing to buy in.

Hathaway's agent thought there was nothing to consider here; they definitely had to sign.

The agent was going crazy.
"Anne! We're not some big stars! It was pure luck that you got to play in 'The Princess Diaries,' without that movie we're nothing."
"But do you really think you've made it big now? You're still far from those actresses who truly have the clout to negotiate terms with producers."
