There’s nothing to hate about this!<\/p>\n

On Friday, Julia Stiles<\/a><\/strong> opened up about working on 1999 rom-com 10 Things I Hate About You<\/a><\/em> and working alongside Health Ledger<\/strong>. After receiving a fan question during her visit on Watch What Happens Live<\/em>, the Hustlers<\/em> star dished about her favorite day on set\u2014which happened to be when the late Aussie actor, who passed away in 2008<\/a>, performed Frankie Valli and the Four Season<\/strong>‘s “Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You.”<\/p>\n

“My favorite memory of that day\u2014the whole day, he was just phenomenal,” she told host Andy Cohen<\/a><\/strong>. “I mean, like, running up and down those stadium steps and nobody knew that he had this amazing voice. He just went full out and I got to watch it.”<\/p>\n

So, are the rumors true that Julia suggested he sing that song during the now-iconic scene? She finally set the record straight. “Yes,” she joked. “No, it was definitely not my idea. I wish\u2026I’ll take credit for it.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Speaking of famous co-stars, Julia dished about another celebrity that she shared the screen with: Kerry Washington<\/a><\/strong>. The actresses appeared together in 2001’s Save The Last Dance<\/a><\/em>, which marked one of the Scandal<\/em> star’s first major roles, and even then Julia knew that she was going places.<\/p>\n

“She was formidable, I mean, she was so impressive,” Julia said. “Just such a centered\u2014everything that you see on screen. Just a centered, graceful, great woman.”  <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“And I kind of looked to her for guidance during that movie too,” Julia continued. “She wasn’t a star at that point, but you could feel that she was, like, on the roller-coaster going up. She was just so, like, strong.”<\/p>\n

Moving on to her role in Hustlers<\/em>, Julia was very excited to dive in and learn more about the real-life journalist she was playing Jessica Pressler<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“I had been following Jessica’s work for a long time, so when I was cast in the movie I kind of fangirled,” she revealed. “And I just picked her brain about everything having to do with this movie.”<\/p>\n
