Anne Hathaway Credits Christopher Nolan For Career Resurgence After Addressing "Hathahate" Impact On Roles
As Hathaway prepares to promote her upcoming Amazon rom-com "The Idea of You," she stands as a testament to resilience in the face of adversity.
Anne Hathaway, an Oscar-winning actress, found herself in the midst of a career crisis post her 2013 Academy Awards triumph. Dubbed "Hathahate," the online backlash resulted in Hathaway losing out on movie roles, transitioning her from an "It Girl" to a recipient of unwarranted criticism.
Reflecting on this tumultuous period, Hathaway shared her ordeal in a recent profile, highlighting the toxic impact her online persona had on her career trajectory. Despite her accolades, she faced rejection due to concerns over her online reputation.
However, her fortunes took a turn for the better when acclaimed director Christopher Nolan cast her in his blockbuster film "Interstellar" in 2014. Hathaway credits Nolan as her "angel" for disregarding the online scrutiny and offering her a significant role in the Matthew McConaughey-led space epic. She also starred in Nolan's "The Dark Knight Rises" in 2012, further solidifying their professional relationship.
Hathaway's resilience shines through as she navigated the challenges posed by online vitriol. She acknowledges the humiliation she endured but emphasizes the importance of staying bold and not allowing negativity to overshadow her passion for acting. For her, acting is akin to tightrope walking, requiring bravery and a willingness to take risks.
In response to Hathaway's revelations, social media users expressed dismay over the pervasive toxicity targeting actresses, including Hathaway herself, Jennifer Lawrence, Rachel Zegler, and Brie Larson. The phenomenon reflects a broader issue of misogyny amplified by the internet, where harmless statements or actions can incite disproportionate backlash.
