Anne Hathaway reveals she is five years sober

This long interview with her in the NYTimes is mostly awful. She feels she's been so burned by social media that she is incredibly cagey and tries not go vie anything away (in which case you wonder, why even do the interview?).

However, there were some revelations. i would guess she must have started abusing substances around the time of the "Les miserables" awards backlash

She is pretty full of … something. One of these people who think they are the first ones discovering life and how it affects a person. Tried to listen to a podcast interview of her on The NYtimes Daily. Couldn’t make it through.

She was genuinely obnoxious during the run to the Oscars the year she won. She frantically changed to back-up outfit for her acceptance backstage when she found out one of the other presenters had been wearing a similar gown. And her overrehearsed acceptance speech, beginning, "Wow, it came true!" (because her big song in "Les Miserables" was "I Dreamed a Dream") was pretty annoying.

That being said, I had always liked her before that awards season. I think she let it go to her head because she wanted the award too much--but at least she didn't slap anyone on stage because of her tension!

Since then, though, she has acted like being criticized on the Internet has been roughly the equivalent of the Bataan Death March in terms of unfair ordeals. I just cannot feel that sorry for her given how rich and pampered she is. She's got to get over herself now.

I think she can be very good in certain roles. and there are certainly worse actresses. Sandra Bullock and Julia Roberts are notr better (all three personable actresses with degrees of charisma).

Personally i dont know much about her and she doesn’t interest me to hear or read interviews (mucn like the above ladies). Saw a recent clip from Vanity Fair though and either she was in character or came across slight deranged. She is profoundly uncool, it’s not a sin but she has no reasons to keep complaining. She act and move on.

Anne Hathaway tries really fucking hard, so she could never be a LEZ in Hollywood. That’s probably why she married that not attractive “husband.”

FFS, she went nuts during her Oscar run to the point she "accidentally" showed her snatch. Nobody "hated" her, they just wanted her to take it down a notch or go away.

Every time she has something to promote, she brings this tired, old story out and then adds on another pity layer. A few weeks ago, it was her miscarriage. That got no traction, so now she has sobriety issues. I am sure she is just trying to find ways to raise her profile and garner publicity, but obvious pity stories do not work in these instances unless they tie into the role/film being promoted. She should have spoken to that whole episode once and then never brought it up again. Either her people suck or she doesn't listen to them.

I think she’s boring and tries not to be. It backfires and makes her unlikeable. I also think her looks were over praised at one point and that tends to make me dislike an actor. I really started disliking Gwyneth Paltrow after everyone pretended her ugly, poorly fitted pink Oscars dress looked good. Try-hard PR.

Didn’t Hathaway marry or at least get engaged to a crook at one point? More than a run of the mill grifter - someone who embezzled a lot of money? Or was that someone else?

I wouldn’t call her a “wonderful” actress R35. She can be very good when called upon. I’ve been surprised by her before. But her public persona and PR are an absolute nightmare.

She is deranged. I think she had narcissistic personality tendencies, BUT she’s finally aware of it and, recently, shows some improvement.

Her acting has actually never been better. She slayed in ‘Eileen’, and ‘Idea of You’ is getting great reviews. In the right role, she’s a great actress. She’s no Cate Blanchett, but she’s better than Sandra Bullock and Julia Roberts. I think she has more depth and that’s partly due to how neurotic she is in real life.

I disagree r75. She looks like a movie star. Her style I had never been better. She’s in great shape (amazing posture). Movie star hair and her face is undeniably pretty. That said, she can come across as full of herself, but I think that was more of an issue 10 years ago.

Julia Roberts also has that wide smile. It’s star quality. It’s part of her charisma. Zoe Kravitz never smiles, and she ain’t no leading lady as result!

She could write one hell of a memoir if it just didn't go in the expected directions people expected it go:

*"I hated playing Jane Austen! What a priss."

*"The best thing about winning that Oscar was shoving my win down Sally Field's throat."

*"What most people didn't realize about the Academy Awards that year that I hosted was that it was I, not James Franco, who was abusing heroin backstage."

*"I learned on the set of The Princess Diaries that there is just no bugger cunt in Hollywood than Julie Andrews."

[quote]r72 “I learned on the set of ‘The Princess Diaries’ that there is just no bugger cunt in Hollywood than Julie Andrews." (Anne Hathaway)

I heard Hathaway immediately turning that set into a battlefield. She’d loudly and repeatedly call Andrews “Granny” and laugh, saying it as many times as possible. (“Will Granny be sitting over here in this scene? Do we have the Granny filter ready? What if Gwanny [italic]cwiiiiiiiiiies[/italic] again??”)

It was shameful. And when the frail Dame Julie finally went to the front office to complain, they laughed in her face and said they could get her replaced with Joan Collins in two minutes. Julie had to crawl back to the set with her tail between her legs, which only made Anne meaner.

I’ve never heard of anything like it!
