Anne Hathaway says folks within the public actually did not like her after she received her Oscar — a lot so, studios steered clear … that’s, till Christopher Nolan got here knocking (once more).
The actress opened up about to Vanity Fair about all of the hate she was receiving within the early 2010s — which reached its peak in 2013 when she took house a statuette for her position in “Les Misérables” … when she gave a heartfelt (however to some, cringe-worthy) acceptance speech.
This phenomenon — identified on the time as “Hathahate” — had truly been build up for just a few years, going again to 2011 when she hosted the Oscars with James Franco. Even then, folks have been saying they discovered her a little bit too honest, awkward and “annoying.”
Welp, AH now says she was properly conscious of all this ridicule throughout these days — and because it seems, she says it was affecting her profession … although she was an Oscar winner.
She says, “A lot of people wouldn’t give me roles because they were so concerned about how toxic my identity had become online. I had an angel in Christopher Nolan, who did not care about that and gave me one of the most beautiful roles I’ve had in one of the best films that I’ve been a part of.” In fact, she’s referring to CN’s 2014 smash hit “Interstellar.”
She provides, “I don’t know if he knew that he was backing me at the time, but it had that effect. And my career did not lose momentum the way it could have if he hadn’t backed me.”
As everyone knows, Anne and Chris had historical past earlier than he introduced her on for ‘Interstellar’ — having employed her for his third Batman film “The Dark Knight Rises,” but it surely appears like the actual fact he gave her one other alternative got here at simply the best time for Anne.
By way of weathering the hate storm — whether or not it was again then, and even now — Anne says you gotta proceed to be daring and be your self … even when everybody hates your guts.
Fairly loopy to listen to that Anne was seen as a pariah in Hollywood for a little bit bit — she’s clearly one of many greatest A-listers round … and but, she says she hit a tough patch.
It simply proves optics matter … and folks take note of that stuff, for higher or worse.
