From The Devil Wears Prada to The Princess Diaries, Anne Hathaway has countless memorable roles to her name, but there was a time when she fell out of favor with the public.

In a new interview, the actress discussed that rough patch, which peaked after she co-hosted the Oscars with James Franco in 2011 and won Best Supporting Actress for Les Misérables the following year.

Anne Hathaway admitted it was ‘rough’ to deal with so much online hate a decade ago.

“A lot of people wouldn’t give me roles because they were so concerned about how toxic my identity had become online,” the 41-year-old recalled of how backlash took a toll on her career.

Thankfully, her old The Dark Knight Rises director, Christopher Nolan, never joined in on the hate bandwagon and casted her for Interstellar.

Hathaway thinks Christopher Nolan saved her career.

“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,” she gushed. “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.”
