Del Toro included that the duo have numerous “common interests,” consisting of fairytale. “Her interest in fable and myth and the origins of fairy tale is quite deep,” he clarified. “I gave her a few books that I thought would be interesting for her—among them, very importantly, a book that was useful for me in creating Pan’s Labyrinth called The Science of Fairy Tales, which codifies and talks about fairy tale lore.”

For The Hollywood Reporter‘s 2022 Women In Entertainment Power 100, Swift revealed that she’ d like to trade locations withDel Toro “Imagine having that imagination, that visual vocabulary and that astonishing body of work,” she stated of the Shape of Water filmmaker. “To have such a diverse storytelling range but to somehow put your distinctive artistic fingerprint on every film. And yet, it feels like he’s still so curious and enthusiastic about his work. I can only imagine that a day in his mind would be fascinating.”
