The internet has a weird fixation with hating something that’s popular or too mainstream, especially when it comes to up-and-coming actors. From Emma Watson to Zendaya and other young actors, who become overexposed to an extent, often find themselves amidst this phenomenon, and this trend almost tanked Anne Hathaway’s career.
In the early 2010s, Hathaway became one of the most hated celebrities for no reason other than some finding her annoying, and this hatred worsened following her Oscar win.
Anne Hathaway’s heartfelt Oscar speech became a nightmare for her career
Although an Oscar win or nomination can push an actor or filmmaker to new heights, this wasn’t the case forAnne Hathaway, who was already battling against a sizeable portion of the internet for no reason. Having started her ascend as a Disney princess in the 2000s, in order to escape the typecast bubble, Hathaway leaned towards more artsy projects, includingLes Misérables, which earned her an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

While her speech after nabbing the Oscar win appeared pretty genuine, the three words she uttered in the beginning,“It Came True”elevated the“Hathahate”trend. Even though in recent years, many have come to appreciate herOscar speech, even deeming her a“precious sweetheart”, in the aftermath of her speech at the time, both media and the internet damned her to eternity.
Anne Hathaway started losing roles as a result of Hathahate
The underserved hatred against her wasn’t just confined to social media and media outlets, as Hathaway confessed that it even cost her roles, as many were“concerned about how toxic my identity had become online”. Fortunately, things took a turn for the better, thanks toChristopher Nolan, who cast the actress inThe Dark Knight Risesand thenInterstellar, which she called“one of the best films that I’ve been a part of”(viaVanity Fair).
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. I don’t know if he knew that he was backing me at the time, but it had that effect. And my career did not lose momentum the way it could have if he hadn’t backed me.

With the Oscar winnerset to join forceswith Nolan once again forThe Odysseyadaptation, things are looking better than ever for the former Disney icon. As for the hate trend against the actress in the 2010s, with each passing year, it looks more and more absurd, highlighting one of the most cruel and toxic aspects of the internet.
Interstellaris available to stream on Max.
