Actress Anne Hathaway was horrified when she learned she'd have to audition her love interest for The Princess Diaries 2: ROYAL ENGAGEMENT - because she was expected to kiss all 12 hopefuls.

The 21-year-old brunette beauty admits she would have been prepared to lock lips with one or two men hoping the land the role, but when she realised director Garry Marshall wanted her to kiss much more than that, she was far from impressed.

She says, "He decided to test a dozen. And I'm not that kind of girl!

"Don't get me wrong, I love kissing, but the idea of having to kiss 12 different people that I've just met in one 10-hour period of time is a little much for me."
