Anne Hathaway says Oppenheimer director Christopher Nolan saved her career after 2013 Oscar win saw her snubbed from roles due to ‘toxic online identity’: I had an angel in him’

Anne Hathaway credits director Christopher Nolan for helping save her career after public opinion had turned against her following her Oscar win in 2013.

The actress, 41, told Vanity Fair, ‘a lot of people wouldn’t give me roles because they were so concerned about how toxic my identity had become online,’ following her Best Supporting Actress victory for her role as Fantine in 2012’s Les Misérables.

‘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,’ she said, referring to her role as NASA scientist Dr. Amelia Brand in 2014’s Interstellar.

‘I don’t know if he knew that he was backing me at the time, but it had that effect,’ the versatile star said in the interview.

As a result of the two-time Academy Award winner hiring her for that job, ‘my career did not lose momentum the way it could have if he hadn’t backed me.’

In a 2016 interview with The Guardian, Hathaway said when she won the Oscar, her head was still immersed in the experience she had on the set of Les Misérables.

‘I kind of lost my mind doing that movie and it hadn’t come back yet,’ she said.

‘It’s an obvious thing, you win an Oscar and you’re supposed to be happy — I didn’t feel that way.’

‘I felt wrong that I was standing there in a gown that cost more than some people are going to see in their lifetime, and winning an award for portraying pain that still felt very much a part of our collective experience as human beings.’

‘I tried to pretend that I was happy and I got called out on it, big time,’ she explained about the poor reception of her speech.

‘Humiliation is such a rough thing to go through,’ the resilient actress said in Vanity Fair.

‘The key is to not let it close you down. You have to stay bold, and it can be hard because you’re like, “If I stay safe, if I hug the middle, if I don’t draw too much attention to myself, it won’t hurt,”‘ she explained.

‘But if you want to do that, don’t be an actor. You’re a tightrope walker. You’re a daredevil.’ explained the multi-talented star.

‘You’re asking people to invest their time and their money and their attention and their care into you. So you have to give them something worth all of those things. And if it’s not costing you anything, what are you really offering?’

The actress, who first worked with Nolan on The Dark Knight Rises as Selina Kyle/Catwoman spoke with Oppenheimer star Emily Blunt for a Variety Actors on Actors conversation about the confidence she felt working with Nolan on the action film.

‘I remember one day we were doing a shot on The Dark Knight Rises,’ she explained. ‘He came to me beforehand and said, “I just want you to know, this shot has lived in my head for many years. I’m going to be very specific about it. I’m going to make you do it a lot, but it’s not actually you. It’s just because I have it in my head a certain way.”‘

‘For him to say that in a way where, as an actor, you don’t start to question yourself!’ she said.
