Anne Hathaway bites back at ‘good girl’ question in new interview - NEWS.com.au

Anne Hathaway was quick to snap back at a question about her ‘good girl’ image in a recent interview with Stellar magazine, saying it ‘doesn’t bother her in the slightest’.

Speaking as this weekend’s cover star, the Princess Diaries actress seemed taken aback by a question referring to her reputation in the industry and the “Hathahate” movement of 2013.

“What does “good girl” mean to you?” the actress responded when asked whether her image has ever frustrated her.

“Alcoholics, prostitutes, cat burglars, war journalists – your CV is incredibly diverse, but it’s been hard to shake the “good girl” image. Has that been frustrating at times?” journalist Vicky Roach asked, prompting Hathaway’s response: “What does “good girl” mean to you?”

“Well, “sweet” is another adjective that’s often used in relation to you,” Roach followed up.

“I haven’t felt fear surrounding being labelled for a very long time,” the actress responded.

“Early on I was afraid of being boxed in as an actress, but it doesn’t bother me in the slightest if people think of me as a sweet person.”

The question goes back to events in 2013, when Hathaway was on the awards circuit for her role in Les Misérables and was seen by some as “too earnest” and therefore inauthentic, spawning a movement called Hathahate.

During her awards sweep, in which she scored an Oscar, Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild and a BAFTA Award for Best Supporting Actress as Fantine in Les Miserables, Hathaway’s acceptance speeches rubbed people the wrong way.

At the Globes, she began by blurting the word “blerg” and said her award was a “lovely blunt object that I will forevermore use as a weapon against self-doubt”, which many thought was over-rehearsed.

That same evening, when Les Mis picked up the big gong of the night, Hathaway grabbed the microphone and continued her acceptance speech despite being surrounded by the rest of the cast.

At the Critics Choice Awards, she opened her speech by pointing out her name was spelt wrong on the screen.

She was also called out for “faking” surprise at every award show with dramatic expressions.

And then came the big one. The Oscars.

Her address to the crowd began with: “It came true!” and then admitted to rehearsing her speech, seemingly sure she’d win.

Hathaway is set to appear as the Grand High Witch in the remake of Roald Dahl classic The Witches in December, a role previously held by Anjelica Huston.

Asked during the Stellar interview if she was ready for the “inevitable comparisons” to Huston, she responded: “I just keep reminding myself that there have been, like, six Batmen and four Jokers and seven James Bonds. We seem to get a little more into comparisons when it’s two women and we seem to get a little more excited when it’s two men.

“I’m hoping all this soul searching that we have been doing lately has put us in a place where each performance can be celebrated for what it is. Anjelica’s performance is flawless and it’s iconic and it’s just right for the film she’s in. My hope is that my performance is just right for the film that I’m in.”

Her appearance in the film has already sparked controversy, with the star forced to respond to criticism about the depiction of her hands in the HBO remake.

In the revival film, the witches appear to have three-fingered hands. This is similar to the limb abnormality ectrodactyly, otherwise known as “split hand”.

“I have recently learned that many people with limb differences, especially children, are in pain because of the portrayal of the Grand High Witch in The Witches,” Anne posted on Instagram.

“Let me begin by saying I do my best to be sensitive to the feelings and experiences of others not out of some scrambling PC fear, but because not hurting others seems like a basic level of decency we should all be striving for.

“As someone who really believes in inclusivity and really, really detests cruelty, I owe you all an apology for the pain caused. I am sorry. I did not connect limb difference with the (Grand High Witch) when the look of the character was brought to me; if I had, I assure you this never would have happened.”

She continued: “I particularly want to say I’m sorry to kids with limb differences: now that I know better I promise I’ll do better. And I owe a special apology to everyone who loves you as fiercely as I love my own kids: I’m sorry I let your family down.”
