At the South by Southwest Festival premiere of WeCrashed, Anne Hathaway shared that her co-star Jared Leto exceeded her expectations.
“How gentle he is, that was a surprise,” Hathaway told People on the red carpet, being calm and supportive of me throughout the process.”
She added, “I don’t know why I wasn’t expecting this, but it was a delightful surprise.”

In WeCrashed, Hathaway and Leto play Rebekah and Adam Neumann, the couple who co-founded WeWork with Miguel McKelvey (Klye Marvin) in 2010. Based on the podcast WeCrashed: The Rise and Fall of WeWork, WeCrashed follows the rise and inevitable fall of the coworking company, once one of the world’s most valuable startups, and the Neumanns – whose messy love made it all possible.
Leto is known for his method acting, which he calls “immersive work”. His collaborators, at least those on this project, praise his process. “I found it electrifying. He’s saying to you, ‘For the next four months, I’m going to inhabit this person,'” WeCrashed co-creator Lee Eisenberg told Variety.

Hathaway told Stephen Colbert she only met Leto outside of his character during the festival — they shot for six months and he never once broke character. She called him Motek (Hebrew slang for “darling”) and he called her Rivka (the Hebrew name for Rebecca).
But she also enjoyed working with him. “I really respect Jared’s process and I had a wonderful time with whoever it was and we really made the most beautiful bond between us,” Hathaway told Colbert. However, when the House of Gucci trailer went down during filming, Hathaway pranked Leto, saying after completing an intense scene, she told him, “Just one more thing,” impersonating Lady Gaga’s “Father, Son, House of.” Gucci”. Line.
“I didn’t know what was going to happen because he’s so committed to his process, but I swear to God he split into three,” she joked. “It was like a Horocrux: Over here was Jared, here was Paolo Gucci, and here was Adam Neumann… I said, ‘Oh dear,’ and he said, ‘Woah, I think I just time-traveled!'”
