Anne Hathaway
Anne Hathaway credited her long-term success to Christopher Nolan, who unintentionally restored Anne’s career after Hollywood abandoned her following her Oscar win for Les Misérables in 2013.
Anne participated in her latest Amazon Prime video, The Idea of You, with Nicholas Galitzine purely “to have fun,” but her Hollywood career hasn’t always been smooth sailing.
In her first solo Vanity Fair cover, she addressed the 2013 viral phenomenon ‘Hathahate’, which portrayed her identity as “toxic” following her Oscar win for Best Supporting Actress in the musical Les Misérables.
Hathaway only won an Oscar that year, but the career-high moment brought her crashing down since the internet turned on her for simply enjoying her moment at the top. Suddenly, whatever she did was considered “annoying.”
Christopher Nolan with Hathaway
In her latest Vanity Fair interview, she finally ‘gets real’ on a slew of topics. One of them describes how Hollywood abandoned the acting marvel, but Christopher Nolan, now a fellow Oscar winner, stepped in to save her.
In a Vanity Fair cover story, Hathaway praised Christopher Nolan as an “angel” for hiring her despite the growing backlash online over her perceived “toxic” identity. And this came after she won an Oscar.
“A lot of people wouldn’t give me roles because they were so concerned about how toxic my identity had become online,” Hathaway remarked in an interview. “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.”
Hathaway went on, “I’m not sure if he was aware that he was supporting me at the time, but it had that effect. And my career did not stall as it might have if he hadn’t supported me.”
