Anne Hathaway he had heard in the early days of working as an actor that he had no sex appeal at all. And on the April cover of “Vanity Fair” magazine, the 41-year-old actress said that was just silly. However, as he explained, things were different 20 years ago.

“The male gaze was very dominant and very penetrating”said Hathaway, who admitted she was worried about how she looked to the world.

The star, who is promoting her new romantic comedy “The Idea Of You” about an older woman making out with a younger pop star, was photographed by photographer Norman Jean Roy.

Anne Hathaway also revealed that she was full of anxiety, which caused her problems on film sets – she is known from the films “The Princess Diaries” and “The Devil Wears Prada”.

Early in her career the actress said she had a horrible anxiety attack. “I was alone and I didn’t know what was happening. I certainly couldn’t tell anyone and it got worse. Now I feel much safer going to someone in charge, pulling them aside and explaining, ‘I’m going through this now.'”

“All the advice you’re given is to protect yourself. Everyone is dangerous and everyone is trying to get something from you… People advised me to protect myself and keep this distance and that I have two selves… I found it terribly confusing, so I don’t do it that way anymore ».

Finally, the actress referred to those years when she was “hit” on the Internet for being modest. “A lot of people wouldn’t give me roles because they were so worried about how toxic my online identity had become.

I had an angel, Christopher Nolan, who didn’t care about that and gave me one of the most beautiful roles. I don’t know if he knew he was supporting me at the time, but it had that effect and my career didn’t lose momentum like it might have if he hadn’t supported me.

You are asking people to invest their time, money, attention and care in you. So you have to give them something that is worth all these things. And if that doesn’t cost you anything, what are you really offering?’the actress concluded.
