Anne Hathaway Apologizes To Journalist Kjersti Flaa For Rude 2012 Interview, Explains Herself

Buy Me A Coffee

We’ve got a plot twist spicier than Anne Hathaway’s curt “No” responses! So, gather ’round as we dive into the latest episode of “Celebrity Apologies You Never Knew You Needed.”

Our story begins in 2012, when Les Misérables was taking over the world and Anne Hathaway was busy winning Oscars and dodging awkward interview gimmicks. Enter Kjersti Flaa, Norwegian journalist extraordinaire, who decided to bring a little Broadway flair to her interview with the future Fantine. Kjersti thought it would be brilliant if she and Anne sang the interview, question-and-answer style. Because who doesn’t want to have a casual duet about first crushes while promoting a movie about death, despair, and revolution?

Anne Hathaway. That’s who. The idea was met with a firm, but decisive “No,” delivered with the energy of someone who has just been asked if they’d like pineapple on their pizza (spoiler: she doesn’t). And so, the interview went downhill faster than Javert’s moral compass. Kjersti, clearly not deterred by Anne’s curt responses, pressed on with some deep questions like, “Do you think love was more passionate back then?” and Anne—bless her—hit back with the philosophical equivalent of a slap on the wrist: “No.” Ouch. Then came the clincher: “Do you remember your first crush?” Cue Anne, now in full Jedi mind-trick mode, going, “Nope, I don’t remember anything before this interview.”

Flash forward to 2024, and just when Kjersti thought that interview was buried in the archives of awkward encounters, Anne Hathaway rises from the depths of Hollywood to right her wrongs. Kjersti shared the behind-the-scenes scoop, revealing that she received a surprise email—no, not from a Nigerian prince—but from Anne Hathaway’s publicist. Now, you can imagine Kjersti’s reaction: probably something like, “Wait, what? Anne Hathaway remembers me?!” But it gets juicier. Anne herself sent a heartfelt message, offering an apology for what we’ll now refer to as the “Great Interview Fiasco of 2012.”

In her digital olive branch, Anne explained the real reason she acted like she was starring in a film called Les Misérables: The Interview Edition. It turns out, she wasn’t in the best headspace at the time (hey, Oscar campaigns can be rough), and she felt terrible about it. Kjersti, now fully immersed in this heartwarming twist, admitted she nearly shed a tear reading the email because, let’s be real, who doesn’t love a good celebrity mea culpa?

Unfortunately, you won’t get to read the email, because Kjersti and Anne agreed to keep it on the DL. But rest assured, it’s probably full of classy Anne-Hathaway-style regrets and maybe even a GIF or two for comic relief.

Oh, and let’s not forget the cherry on top: Anne Hathaway went on to win an Oscar for Les Misérables in 2013, proving that you can absolutely give a brutal interview and still be a champion. Moral of the story? Sometimes, a “No” just needs a little bit of time to turn into a beautifully written apology email.
