Ever wondered what shocking experience Anne Hathaway had to endure
involving ten male actors and the dark underbelly of fame?
Anne Hathaway has achieved remarkable success in her career,
starring in blockbuster movies that have enabled her to build an impressive career.
Despite being grateful for her successful career, Anne also shed light on the negative aspects of
Hollywood. She recently shared an unsettling experience where she was forced to kiss ten men,
which she found unpleasant. Since becoming famous from The Princess Diaries,
Anne Hathaway has appeared to be thriving and enjoying immense success,
leading many to believe she leads a nearly perfect life.
Despite her apparent fortune, Anne Hathaway has faced significant challenges.
One example is when Hathaway revealed being pressured to kiss ten men,
highlighting the industry's darker side. In an interview with V Magazine,
Anne Hathaway shared an example of the challenges actors face during casting.
Even after being cast in a role, Hathaway felt pressured to do things she found unpleasant
and uncomfortable. As Hathaway explained to V Magazine,
Back in the 2000s, it was considered normal to ask an actor to make out with other actors
to test for chemistry, which is actually the worst way to do it.
Hathaway then went on to talk about a specific time she was asked to kiss ten men.
I was told,
We have ten guys coming today and you're cast. Aren't you excited to make out with all of them?
And I thought, Is there something wrong with me? Because I wasn't excited. I thought it
sounded gross. Despite feeling uneasy about kissing several strangers,
Hathaway proceeded with it because she was afraid of being seen as
difficult in the industry. I was so young and terribly aware how easy it was to lose
everything by being labeled difficult, so I just pretended I was excited and got on with it.
On top of Anne Hathaway kissing story, she had to face another crisis.
At a premiere of the movie Les Miserables in 2012, Anne Hathaway was photographed in an
embarrassing manner by a paparazzo who immediately sold the revealing image instead of deleting it
forever. Following the publication of the photo, Hathaway demonstrated bravery by continuing to
promote Les Miserables. But during an interview with Matt Lauer, she faced jokes and judgment
instead of empathy and support. As the interview began, Lauer joked about the photo of Hathaway.
Seen a lot of you lately. Sorry about that.
The other night. What's the lesson learned from something like that,
other than that you keep smiling, which you always do?
To Hathaway's eternal credit, she stood up for herself in that incredibly difficult moment.
It kind of made me sad on two accounts. One was that I was very sad when someone takes
a picture of another person in a vulnerable moment and rather than delete it and do the
decent thing, sells it. And I'm sorry that we live in a culture that commodifies sexuality
of unwilling participants, which brings us back to...
Hathaway's speech and handling the situation made headlines on news outlets and put Matt
Lauer in hot Owen. Six years after this unfortunate interview, Matt Lauer was fired
from The Today Show after damning sexual misconduct allegations, with more victims
coming forward and reporting multiple accounts of misconduct.
