2012 was a turbulent year for Anne Hathaway. After the actress appeared in Christopher Nolan’s Batman film The Dark Knight Rises and was celebrated by critics and fans, she appeared in front of the camera for the musical film adaptation Les Misérables. Although the The Devil Wears Prada star even received the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for it, the role caused a real stir online Shitstorm and Hathaway drew ridicule for her portrayal of young mother Fontine.
As the actress explained to Vanity Fair in an extensive cover story, this even had far-reaching consequences for her career: “A lot of people wanted me no roles because they were concerned about how toxic my identity had become online.”

However, Christopher Nolan had no reservations and offered her a role in his film Interstellar with NASA scientist Dr. Amelia Brand took on a great role that Hathaway now says even saved her career:
I had an angel in Christopher Nolan who didn’t care and gave me one of the most beautiful roles in one of the best films I’ve ever been a part of. I don’t know if he knew he was supporting me, but it had that effect. And my career has not lost its momentum in the way it might have without his support.

Although the actress was aware that it was part of her job to deal with public criticism, it was still a difficult time for her:
Humiliation is a hard thing. The key is not to let it get you down. You have to stay brave and that’s hard because sometimes you think ‘If I play it safe, if I embrace the middle, if I don’t draw too much attention to myself, I won’t get hurt.’ But if you want that, you can’t become an actress.Anne Hathaway: Coming soon to When You Saw Me
