Anne Hathaway won an Oscar. Then her career took a turn for the worse.
The actress says in a new profile that co-hosting the 2013 Oscars and taking home the best supporting actress honor for The Miserables It marked a turning point in which her reputation online and in the media became “toxic,” to the point that, she says, it cost her her film roles.
The viral phenomenon called “Hathahate” had no real cause, other than the actress enjoying a surge in exposure and popularity that caused some to call her “annoying,” taking her from It Girl to Not-It Girl thanks to some reactions on line.
After winning the Oscar, Hathaway said vanity fair“A lot of people wouldn’t give me papers because they were so worried about how toxic my online identity had become.”
Then director Christopher Nolan came along and cast her in his hit movie. Interstellar (2014).
“I had an angel in Christopher Nolan, who didn’t care about that and gave me one of the most beautiful roles I’ve ever had in one of the best movies I’ve ever been a part of,” she said of Nolan casting her. in the space epic directed by Matthew McConaughey. (She also starred in the Nolan film The dark knight he wake up in 2012.) “I don’t know if he knew he was backing me at the time, but it had that effect. And my career didn’t lose momentum like it might have if he hadn’t had my back.”
And he added: “Humiliation is something very hard to endure. The key is not to let that shut you down. You have to be bold and it can be difficult because you think, ‘If I stay safe, if I embrace the environment, if I don’t draw too much attention to myself, it won’t hurt.’ But if you want to do that, don’t be an actor. You are a tightrope walker. You are a daredevil. You are asking people to invest their time, their money, their attention and their care in you. Then you have to give them something worth all those things. And if it doesn’t cost you anything, what are you really offering?
After the Oscars, a New York Times The story asked, “Do we really hate Anne Hathaway?” and she reviewed some of the criticism she endured from the media, such as The Chronicle of San Francisco dubbing her “The Most Annoying Celebrity” of the year and a New Yorker writer who explores the question: “Why are you so annoying?” Hathaway’s Oscar co-host James Franco continued The Howard Stern Show where the radio host said, “Everyone hates Anne Hathaway” and said she seems “very affected and an actress.” To which Franco responded, “I’m not an expert on (I guess they’re called ‘hatha-haters’) but I think that’s what maybe triggers it.”
In reaction to the new interview, one user on Reddit noted, “I think it’s crazy that so many actresses are on a tightrope, no matter how nice they are or how talented they are, a lot of people, especially in online spaces, are waiting for them to just slip up, or not. even slip up, anything they consider “unpleasant” and voila! the rest of the internet runs on it. Anne Hathaway has been nothing but nice and the ‘hate campaign’ against her was crazy. Reddit turned on Jennifer Lawrence because she said, “Don’t look at my leaked nudes.” Some male actors go through it too, but if they reach ‘internet boyfriend’ status, they are practically untouchable. Rachel Zegler and Brie Larson too. They made harmless statements about modernizing an old story (and) the statements were misinterpreted and then it spread like wildfire, and now in every post they make, there are people telling them to kill themselves. The pop culture corner of the Internet is toxic. “I’m not saying misogyny didn’t exist before, but the Internet has amplified these voices.”
Hathaway is currently promoting her upcoming Amazon romantic comedy. The idea of you, which recently debuted at the South by Southwest Film and TV Festival and will be released on Prime Video in May. 2.
