Zero-gravity is a difficult effect for movies to pull off, often requiring the use of some highly advanced filmmaking techniques.

On Interstellar though, Anne Hathaway found a solution that was primitive in approach, but apparently quite effective in execution.

Demonstrating her skills on The Graham Norton Show, the actress showed off her truly remarkable ability to... stand on one leg and float around? Sounds a little silly, but it does sort of convey that zero-gravity look - see for yourself in the video below.

Oh, and for extra comedic effect, just imagine Nolan's reaction when she started doing this on set.

He has been writing and video editing for 10+ years, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers and uploading them to YouTube (they're admittedly a bit rusty by today's standards). If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order or to tell you about the making of 1988's Remembrance of the Daleks, Danny is the person to ask.
