Anne Hathaway Reveals the Surprising Reason Why Christopher Nolan Bans Chairs From His Movie Sets

Anne Hathaway is opening up about the interesting thing that happens on the set of director Christopher Nolan‘s movies.

The Oscar-winning actress says that Nolan bans chairs from being on set because he doesn’t want people to sit around and waste time.

“Chris also doesn’t allow chairs. I worked with him twice. He doesn’t allow chairs, and his reasoning is, if you have chairs, people will sit, and if they’re sitting, they’re not working,” Anne said in an interview with former co-star Hugh Jackman for Variety’s Actors on Actors series.

“I mean, he has these incredible movies in terms of scope and ambition and technical prowess and emotion. It always arrives at the end under schedule and under budget. I think he’s onto something with the chair thing,” she added.

Anne worked with Nolan on the movies Interstellar and The Dark Knight Rises. Hugh worked with him on the movie The Prestige.
