Anne Hathaway’s Early Career Regrets Are Untold
One of the well-sought actresses of her time, Anne Hathaway, has done it all. She can act, sing, throw jokes, and is self-assured about her standing in the industry and her past accomplishments.
But it was not always like this for Anne. She shared her reflections that during the start of her career, specifically with The Princess Diaries, she was so stressed out that she missed some memorable moments.
Her revelation is something that most Hollywood newcomers can relate to. Your big break is finally here, and you want to do everything, not to compromise it, even if that means sacrificing your beliefs, thoughts, and feelings.
The beautiful actress admitted that she was always on edge during her earlier years of trying to carve a name for herself in the industry. She told Elle magazine that she was too worried about messing things up and doing something that could jeopardize her career.
Fast-forward to today, Anne has made her mark in Hollywood. With successful movies and impressive roles to her credit, she has also added confidence and maturity to her character, allowing her to enjoy each moment.
Anne shared that she is currently at a point where she values the remarkable firsts in her life, knowing that the moment will never happen again. She is also beaming with happiness and self-confidence, knowing that she is already in that place where she can enjoy the positive developments in her life.
She then referenced the criticism she received during her 2013 Oscar acceptance speech. The actress stated that she has realized that she has worked too hard to give away her peace to those who haven’t found theirs.
The Get Smart actress’ realization is indeed life and career-changing because she is no longer afraid of the commentaries and perception of the people around her. The main focus for the Devil Wears Prada actress now is to enjoy her life. And it’s a timely realization, too, because not all celebrities come to the point where they actually know what they want in life—much less why they do what they do.
This mindset appears to be paying off because the actress was well-received at Cannes this year, and this is something that she was grateful for. The incredible reception made Anne appreciate the idea that she has been sowing seeds throughout her life, which she will reap at different times, and Cannes was one of the best harvests of her life.
She also recalled how she felt girl power while working on the Ocean’s Eight movie with Cate Blanchett and Sandra Bullock. It was a female-driven movie, and she remembered asking why it took so long for her to experience having plenty of strong and unique women on set.
And that was when Anne set a deeper intention for her Hollywood career. From then on, she wanted to work and collaborate with other women and create openings where more women could work together and be empowered.
