Anne Hathaway Forced to Apologize for Cruel Interview 10+ Years Ago

Written by Doug Norrie | Published 25 seconds ago

Have you ever looked back on something from a decade or so ago and really regretted what you said? Yes, me too. But that’s not the case for Anne Hathaway who had to apologize for an interview she did years ago because this video is popular on social media. And it doesn’t paint him very well. Such is the nature of celebrity.

All our interactions are simply lost in the records of time. But not these people. They don’t know when something that seems to have been forgotten can come back to bite them in a bad way.

Anne Hathaway sent an email of apology to Kjersti Flaa, a Norwegian journalist

According to Deadline, Anne Hathaway sent an email of apology to Kjersti Flaa, a Norwegian journalist, who 12 years ago interviewed her ex during a press tour. Les Misérables. During that interview, Anne Hathaway didn’t come off the best, giving one-word, syllabic answers to Flaa’s questions and generally coming off as someone who didn’t want to be there.

The reason he posted this apology all these years later was not because of a video released on Kjersti Flaa’s YouTube channel where he called the interview “Top notch cringe”. He is not wrong. You can see the video where he takes you through everything that went wrong and the general attitude of Anne Hathaway.

Yes. The important issue that was addressed here is that Kjersti Flaa decided to ask her interviewees to sing a little with their answers to her questions. A bit strange and dangerous to take? Yes, but this was for music, after all. Most people, like Russell Crowe and Hugh Jackman, were on board. Anne Hathaway was not there. Not at all.

Anne Hathaway even said, “Well, I’m not going to do that, but you’re welcome to sing.” So, out of the box things weren’t going well, but after that they didn’t get better. Hathaway gave one-word answers to questions and it was clear that she didn’t want to be there at all. It was chaos.

Flaa said that he felt that Anne Hathaway was fired throughout (no player) even if we are going to protect the actress a little bit here, these press interviews are probably the last thing the talent wants to do as part of the process. That being said, the interviewer should understand this and probably stick to the script. It’s close.

Flaa said she feels that Anne Hathaway has been dismissed all along

Anne Hathaway apparently sent an apology email to Flaa in which she explained what she was going through during the interview. A small gesture, but a meaningful one nonetheless considering how badly this went.

Anne Hathaway could have easily chalked it up to a bad day and moved on. It’s not like you get injured on the job or get canceled in any way. And maybe there’s a lesson here for other celebrities that you never know when something like a bad interview will come back to bite you even years later.
