Anne Hathaway has praised Christopher Nolan for backing her amid an online backlash over a decade ago.The actress was subjected to negative public opinion around the time of her 2013 Oscar win for Les Misérables.However, she called Nolan an “angel” for giving her a chance in 2014’s Interstellar at that time in her life, especially as other filmmakers had refused to cast her due to the backlash.“A lot of people wouldn’t give me roles because they were so concerned about how toxic my identity had become online,” Hathaway recalled to Vanity Fair. “I had an angel in Christopher Nolan, who did not care about that and gave me one of the most beautiful roles I’ve had in one of the best films that I’ve been a part of.“I don’t know if he knew that he was backing me at the time, but it had that effect.
