Anne Hathaway has made headlines after issuing an apology for a 2012 interview that has recently resurfaced, drawing criticism for its awkward and uncomfortable nature. The interview, conducted by journalist Kirsty Fly to promote the film Les Misérables, featured Hathaway appearing disengaged, leading to a perception of her as unapproachable during the conversation.

In the original interview, Kirsty attempted to engage Hathaway by asking her to sing her responses and probing questions about love and past crushes. Hathaway’s short, disinterested replies, including a dismissive “no” regarding her first crush, left viewers feeling the exchange was strained and cringe-worthy.

In response to the backlash, Hathaway’s team reached out to Kirsty, conveying an apology for how the actress’s demeanor had come across during their interaction. Although specific details of the apology were not revealed, Kirsty expressed her gratitude and openness to a follow-up discussion. Hathaway’s team has since invited Kirsty to interview the actress again for her upcoming film, set to premiere in May.

This isn’t the first time Kirsty has faced challenges during interviews. She previously recounted a 2016 encounter with actress Blake Lively, which she described as “the most uncomfortable situation” of her career and a moment that almost drove her to quit journalism entirely.

As Hathaway and Kirsty prepare for another chance to connect, fans are optimistic that their next conversation will foster a more positive and engaging dialogue, allowing Hathaway to share her thoughts and experiences in a more authentic way.
