Emily Blunt recently discussed her Devil Wears Prada costar, Anne Hathaway, and how she’s moving on from recent personal trials.

“She puts pressure on herself, but I think she’s at a point where she can breathe and discover her whole bag of tricks,” Blunt told W magazine. “She has this newfound sense of confidence, and as her friend, that’s very exciting to see.”

Blunt added that the process of filming Rachel Getting Married, which Hathaway was in Toronto promoting at the International Film Festival, also aided in helping the actress get to where she is now.

Despite her highly publicized personal trials, Anne Hathaway is emerging with more confidence both in her roles and in her life.

Though our interview has been planned for weeks and confirmed repeatedly by her publicist, it’s still something of a surprise when Anne Hathaway walks through the doors of the rustic New York cafe she’s chosen as our meeting place. It is less than a month since her highly publicized breakup with her boyfriend of four years—the man with whom she’d been house hunting, whom she seemed to think she’d marry—30-year-old Italian businessman Raffaello Follieri. And it’s less than three weeks since Follieri was arrested for allegedly scamming his investors by falsely claiming ties to the Vatican and placed in prison with a $21 million bail on charges that could result in a life sentence.

Meanwhile, the press is having a field day. Headlines like THE PRINCESS AND THE CON MAN, blinded by love and burned by a loser coat the newsstands. The New York Post publishes regular reports from “friends” of Follieri about how Hathaway sold him out to the Feds. Even the ever sensitive Donald Trump has issued a statement to ABC News criticizing the actress for failing to stand by her man; he then appeared on Access Hollywood, sneering: “So when he had plenty of money, she liked him, but after that, not as good, right?” Perhaps the worst zinger came from Newsweek, of all places, which titled its report WHAT SHOULD HAVE TIPPED ANNE HATHAWAY THAT HER EX-BOYFRIEND WAS BIG TROUBLE? A—CROOKED DAD. B—BAD CHECKS. C—ALLEGED POPE SCAM. D—ALL OF THE ABOVE.

Ditching an interview in favor of hiding under her covers would not have been the most unreasonable of actions. Nevertheless, when Hathaway appears, precisely on time, she immediately launches into peppy and charming small talk about the New York Times crossword puzzle under her arm and the bulky, antiquated tape recorder I’ve placed on the table. “Oh, hello, 1992!” she chuckles delightedly.

Anne Hathaway does not want things to be easy.

“People ask me all the time if I was afraid of this new part. Why would I be? I’m an actress. That’s what I signed on for,” says the star of Jonathan Demme’s new film “Rachel Getting Married.”

In what could easily be called a dysfunctional family, Hathaway, a pain-in-the-ass rehab patient, returns home for her sister’s wedding. Read the full article »
