Anne Hathaway faced difficult times following her Oscar win, as the internet seemed to turn against her. In a recent interview, she credited Christopher Nolan for supporting her Hollywood career after facing significant backlash over her 2013 Oscar win for Les Misérables, as reported by HuffPost. The star of The Idea of You revealed that she struggled to find work, with many in the industry hesitant to hire her due to the online criticism she faced. Reflecting on the viral “Hathahate” phenomenon, Hathaway expressed gratitude towards Nolan for helping her navigate through the challenging period in her career.
Hathaway said, “A lot of people wouldn’t give me roles because they were so concerned about how toxic my identity had become online.” Fortunately, there was at least one filmmaker who remained unfazed by the online criticism. She said, “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 this instance, she was discussing her portrayal of chief scientist Amelia Brand in Nolan’s 2014 sci-fi masterpiece, Interstellar.
