When the interviewer asked Anne Hathaway questions during their interview, she responded with short answers. However, days after the interview resurfaced and Anne was criticized for her attitude, she reportedly reached out to apologize to the reporter. The journalist, Kjersti Flaa, had previously gone viral for her "nightmare" interview with Blake Lively and recently shared a snippet of her "cringe" interview with Anne on TikTok.
The interview took place in 2012 when Anne was promoting her film Lès Miserables. During the interview, Anne seemed unamused and gave brief and sometimes sharp answers to the questions. One particularly awkward moment was when Kjersti asked Anne to sing back her answer to a question, to which Anne quickly replied, "Well, I won't be doing that, but you're more than welcome to sing." Another uncomfortable moment was when Kjersti asked Anne about her first crush and whether she believed love was more passionate during the time period of Lès Miserables.
Kjersti recently revealed on Instagram that she received a lengthy email from Anne and her team, apologizing for the interview. She shared in a video that she was surprised and grateful for Anne's apology, as she had not expected her to reach out or even see the video, which has now garnered over nine million views. Although they agreed not to share the contents of their emails, Kjersti was touched by Anne's gesture and expressed her gratitude.
The Norwegian journalist, who works in the US, also mentioned that she had accepted Anne's apology and even asked if she would be interested in sitting down for another interview. To her surprise, Anne replied by inviting Kjersti to interview her next May during the press tour for her upcoming film, Flowervale Street, a mystery/thriller set to release next year.
Kjersti shared her admiration for people who take responsibility for their mistakes and apologize, saying that "sorry" is a powerful word. This comes after she reposted their past interaction on both her TikTok and YouTube pages, admitting that it "didn't go as planned" and was possibly her "worst interview idea ever." However, the repost quickly sparked backlash towards Anne, with fans calling her "mean" for her behavior.
Some fans argued that Anne was simply being direct with her boundaries, while others were skeptical of Kjersti's interviewing methods. Some even claimed that the interviewer may have said something to upset Anne, causing her to act out of character. Despite the backlash, Kjersti went viral earlier this year for her "uncomfortable" interview with Blake Lively in 2016. Metro has reached out to Anne's representatives for comment.
