Anne Hathaway apologizes to journalist after ‘horrible interview’ goes viral: ‘I was really shocked’

“I thought she would never see that video”, says the journalist.

After journalist Kjersti Flaa posted a disastrous interview she did with Anne Hathaway in 2012, the actress apologized.

“Yesterday I received an email. It was from Anne Hathaway’s publicist, and he forwarded me a message from Anne Hathaway,” she said on her program. Amazing conversation. “I have to say I was very shocked. I didn’t expect her to reach out to me. I thought she would never see that video. But she did. And she did something incredible.”

The original footage showed Hathaway, who was speaking to journalists at a press conference to promote Les Miserables, giving brief answers to Flaa’s questions. To add a fun touch to the interview about the musical, the reporter asked the actors to sing their answers to the questions, which she would sing for them. Hathaway “wasn’t too keen on that idea,” said Flaa, who noted that supporting players like Russell Crowe and Hugh Jackman were in the game.

“I also showed clips of her when she was being quite dismissive towards me, and that created some reactions,” Flaa said, noting that viewers were split on whether Hathaway was being rude or simply having a bad day.

The journalist said Hathaway sent her “a long email explaining what she was going through at that moment when she did this interview, and she apologized for being … basically giving me a horrible interview,” she said. “It was so moving to me. Just talking about it almost makes me teary-eyed, because I was so grateful that she did it. And it was a very personal note. And we decided that I wouldn’t share exactly what it was in the email , but I just wanted to share with you what she did.”

Flaa said Hathaway also invited her to interview her when the star’s next film comes out.

“So yeah, I’m really looking forward to it, Anne,” Flaa said. “Thank you very much for doing this.”

Hathaway’s interviewer is the same one from that 2016 clip that shows her congratulating a pregnant Blake Lively on her baby bump. Lively, who was pregnant, then said: “Congratulations on your baby bump!” Flaa was not pregnant.

She said her videos aim to show the public more about celebrities and her interactions with them.
