A few years ago, America's favorite pastime seemed to be hating on Anne Hathaway. People who didn't like her said she seemed arrogant when winning one of her many awards. But it turns out that there was way more going on with Hathaway than she was letting on at the time. In an interview with The Guardian, Hathaway said that when she won her Oscar for Les Miserables, she was still in Fantine's mindset. She hadn't quite emerged from the emotional lows required to play her, but had to also understand she was achieving a major career milestone. Back in 2014, she told Harper's Bazaar that playing Fantine actually damaged her health, leaving her exhausted and suffering from the flu. Plus, she was frustrated that all people would talk about was her changing her appearance for the part, rather than the message she was trying to send about sexual slavery. So that ended up affecting how she spoke in public."[I felt] punched in the gut," she told Bazaar. "Shocked and slapped and embarrassed. Even now I can feel the shame. Now I'd be fine. I really would be. I'd let it roll off my back, but at the time I was still partly Fantine. I was still identifying with being a victim."
