Anne Hathaway Lost Roles After Oscar Win Because of ‘How Toxic My Identity Had Become Online,’ Says Christopher Nolan Backed Her: ‘I Had an Angel’ in Him
Anne Hathaway says no one wanted to cast her after the internet turned again her, but Christopher Nolan did so anyway for "Interstellar."
Anne Hathawaytold Vanity Fair during a cover story interview that Christopher Nolan more or less saved her career when public opinion turned against her in the lead up to and the aftermath of her winning the Oscar for “Les Miserables.” Hathaway was widely mocked online at this time, and she once remembered googling herself after the Oscar win only to see one of the top search results was an article with the title: “Why does everyone hate Anne Hathaway?” “A lot of people wouldn’t give me roles because they were so concerned about how toxic my identity had become online,” Hathaway now told Vanity Fair. Hathaway is referring to the role of NASA scientist Dr. Amelia Brand in Nolan’s 2014 space epic “Interstellar.” She has already worked with Nolan before as Selina Kyle in 2012’s “The Dark Knight Rises,” which earned her acclaim several months before her Oscar campaign for “Les Miserables” in the back end of 2012 generated internet scorn.
