“I worked only two weeks on the movie so I decided to approach each day with absolute and unflappable gratitude that I was there and not let any nerves get in my way,” Hathaway said.

“I would have played a mushroom if Tim had asked me. I wouldn’t have even needed to speak! It was just about getting some time to spend with Tim and getting to be a part of his world,but happily he asked me to play the White Queen and guided me through this interpretation that I think is kind of a little irreverent and a little left of centre,” the actress said.
