"I want to make music with you!" will.i.am said in an interview with Ryan Seacrest. "From Rio 1, I was like, 'She sings like that?!' It would be so amazing to do music outside of an animated film. That would be freaking dope."

The two have been working together on the Rio films, where they voice two of the series' avian characters. Instead of acting, will.i.am wants to hit the studio and Hathaway is considering.

"I am blushing so hard right now," she said. "Wow, okay cool, so this day just got that much more surreal."
