‘Was a very personal note’: Anne Hathaway Apologizes To Journalist For Her Viral ‘Cringe’ Les Miserables Interview

by

As an ardent fan of Anne Hathaway, I must say that the recent revelation about her interaction with Norwegian journalist Kjersti Flaa during the promotion of Les Misérables in 2012 has touched my heart. It’s fascinating to see how life experiences can shape a person and their interactions, especially when under immense pressure.

During promotions for the 2012 movie Les Misérables, Anne Hathaway spoke with Norwegian journalist Kjersti Flaa. In this interview, her brief and seemingly indifferent responses were later shared on TikTok and gained widespread popularity. Consequently, actress who starred in The Idea of You offered an explanation to address the renewed interest.

In the video posted by the journalist, she proposed an unusual approach: singing her queries instead of asking them verbally, hoping the actors would respond more attentively. However, Hathaway did not join in the singing and gave rather dull replies to her questions. For instance, when asked if love was more passionate back then, she responded with a simple “No.

The video amassed 10 million views on TikTok and it seems to have been seen by Anne Hathaway, the actress from The Devil Wears Prada. In a YouTube post, Flaa shared that an email from Hathaway’s representative had been forwarded to him, expressing regret for their encounter 12 years prior.

In a heartfelt statement, the journalist disclosed that she received a lengthy message from the individual, detailing her current struggles and expressing sincere regret for the challenging interview she had given. The journalist found the email deeply moving and intensely personal, but honorably upheld their confidentiality pact by not divulging its contents.

In the past, the interview with Hathaway was met with controversy and received backlash, as detailed by the journalist in the initial YouTube video. Following its upload, Hathaway faced online abuse during the early 2010s. Additionally, a studio executive demanded that she take down the video, threatening to blacklist her if she refused; ultimately, she chose to delete the interview from her platform.

Earlier, a video clip from an interview between Flaa and the actress Blake Lively who starred in ‘It Ends With Us’, became popular online. Flaa described it as “the most awkward interview experience I’ve ever had.

1) Lately, Hathaway appeared in the romantic comedy “The Idea of You,” where she shared the screen with younger actor Nicholas Galitzine, who has been dominating the genre with successful movies like “Purple Hearts” and “Red, White and Royal Blue.” More recently, Hathaway announced on Instagram that Disney’s classic film “The Princess Diaries,” which marked her debut, will be getting a third installment.
