“I had an angel in Christopher Nolan”: Anne Hathaway Will Never Forget The Dark Knight Director’s Kindness When Entire Hollywood Banished Her After Oscar Win
Not all Oscar winners are snobby with their heads up in the clouds. Take Anne Hathaway for example. She may not have been every director’s first choice when she first entered the world of acting, but today, she is definitely one of the most sought-after and influential figures in Hollywood. She carries her stardom with grace with instances of her kindness and humility echoing across the industry. With The Idea of You trailer garnering over a million views, it is proving to be a smashing hit for Hathaway.
Anne Hathaway’s Experience After Winning an Oscar
The Devil Wears Prada actor Anne Hathaway has dabbled in various genres from science fiction and thriller to romance and comedy. Her poise in every role is unparalleled, achieved via weeks of preparation for every character to nail it to perfection. Her role in Les Misérables has been widely acclaimed, earning her an Oscar for her performance as Fantine. Considering the stature of the story, she had to put all her chips on the table to be able to match her peers on set which included great actors like Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe.
Talking about her experience on set for the movie, Hathaway recalls even blacking out in a few moments when she felt like her soul had left her body. The actress was recently featured on the cover of Vanity Fair, where she looked back at the trajectory of her acting career. People were not so woke back then and actors had to face the full force of media bullying and backlash for every tiny action. Hathaway shed light on a period in her life where she could not get any projects despite recently winning an Oscar. She elaborates how that was a contributing factor in itself,
“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. 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.”
Hathaway is grateful for Christopher Nolan’s belief in her abilities. The director-actor duo worked together on The Dark Knight franchise which later led to Nolan roping Hathaway in for a role in Interstellar. The magic they created on screen together is evident in every scene of the movie. Sometimes, all people need is a person who wholeheartedly believes in them. Nolan proved to be that person for Hathaway.
