In an interview with Elle UK, Anne Hathaway, 31, candidly spoke about her struggles with fame and admitted it really “f*cked” her up. The Oscar winner was only 18 when she starred in 2001 movie, The Princess Diaries.
“This fame thing? F*cked me up for a really long time. I didn’t know how to do it. I didn’t know how to engage with it,” she tells the mag’s November issue. “It stressed me out. And people would say, ‘You just have to be yourself,’ and I was like, ‘But I don’t know who that is yet!’”
However, she says she is more focused and relaxed now that she is older.
“The thing I’ve learned this past year is to chill out,” she says. “I think when you’re young and struggling to find yourself, there’s something alluring about the idea of being tortured. Life for me these days is a lot about letting the unknown be wonderful, and letting myself feel safe.”
Anne says #MatthewMcConaughey, her co-star in the upcoming film Interstellar, encouraged her to embrace the unexpected when they were on set.
“The man speaks in poetry,” she says. “I remember once while we were filming, something got screwed up, and he said to me: ‘Look, we can get upset about this, or we can go with it and have a great story for the rest of our lives.’”
On being in the spotlight, the actress says:
“I’ve realized that don’t need validation from anybody at all. I’m not sitting here now worrying, ‘What do you think of me?’ With all due respect, you seem like a lovely lady, but I don’t need you, or anyone else, to like me. And that’s so liberating. It’s a big reveal, man.”
On her marriage of two years with #AdamShulman, Anne says:
“The first year of my marriage was insane. So much happened so fast, and we didn’t get to focus on just being married until about a year in. There was a part of me that I was keeping in reserve, and when I got married, something shifted… That question of, ‘How long’s this gonna last?’ is off the table. And when you’re not worried about that, there’s space to just be silly.”
