constantly draws attention to his and Solène’s relationship just by being insanely famous. Joining Hathaway, Galitzine and Rubin in “The Idea of You” are Reid Scott (“Veep”), Annie Mumolo (“Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar,” 2021), Perry Mattfeld (“In the Dark”), Jordan Aaron Hall (“Rustin,” 2023), Cheech Manohar (“Mrs. Fletcher”) and new talent Mathilda Gianopoulos, who is the daughter of ‘80s rom-com legend Molly Ringwald (“Sixteen Candles,” 1984) and American author and editor Panio Gianopoulos. Irish talk show host Graham Norton (“The Graham Norton Show”) also makes an appearance in “The Idea of You,” starring as himself. Don’t miss the opportunity to catch this love story for all ages — or at least those between the ages of 23 and 40 — when “The Idea of You” makes its streaming premiere Thursday, May 2, on Prime Video.
