Anne Hathaway: My Les Misérables Performance Is "Eh"



Anne Hathaway knows modest is the hottest.

In a recent interview with with the Los Angeles Times, the Les Misérables star rated her final "I Dreamed a Dream" performance as "eh."

The 30-year-old actress said the film's director, Tom Hooper, let her perform over a dozen takes of the famed Les Mis song, even after he thought she did it perfectly on Take 4. After 20 takes, Hooper told the Golden Globe nominee she needed to move on.

"And I was like, 'Fair enough,'" she recalled. "I never bettered it."

And while she felt "eh" about her final rendition, others have certainly lauded her moving performance in the film. Including, perhaps Anne's most important critic, her mother, Kate, who said her daughter made "the perfect Fantine."

We'd have to agree.

So, I started youtubing various "I Dreamed A Dream" performances and this one absolutely gutted me.

this is my fav version! Be careful on youtube though, Lea Salonga stans make the broadway corner of youtube unbearable
these_eyes_lie 30th-Dec-2012 05:22 pm (UTC)
Omg no kidding. They're ridiculous. I listened to her version and she did a beautiful job, but there was way to much vibrato for my taste. It was just too...pretty. Ruthie ripped my heart out.

The entire 10th anniversary cast is flawless
antique_faery 30th-Dec-2012 05:46 pm (UTC)
Such an amazing performance! By far my favorite Fantine.

the 10th anniversary concert is flawless

Ruthie's Fantine drives me up a wall. 'THEN HE WAS GAWNE' sounds like she's drunk. I don't like Lea as Fantine, either. Personally, I like my Fantine's to have gritty voices and neither of them made me feel for them.

holy fucking christ on a cracker, can they just mail her the Oscar already? along with a basket of mini muffins and cookies? miniature food always makes me happy.
antique_faery 30th-Dec-2012 05:49 pm (UTC)
ROFL. I'm so shy that I would LOOOVE if that were the way to win an Oscar and I were ever an actor.
gonerilandregan 30th-Dec-2012 11:04 pm (UTC)
me too!

I wonder if they actually do mail the Oscars to the winners who don't attend? Haha.
pacificway 30th-Dec-2012 06:57 pm (UTC)
Miniature food is the best!
kwikimart 30th-Dec-2012 07:26 pm (UTC)
IKR?
Just so we don't have to deal with her Oscar speech

ngl, it would be kind of hilarious if she lost the Oscar coz of her own ridiculousness
kaiserschmarrn 30th-Dec-2012 05:29 pm (UTC)
I'd probably react similar but she has to know that at this point of the campaign it's coming across as false modesty instead of just humbleness. False modesty is just as bad as arrogance.

Lbr though anything that Anne says rn will be used against her, if she'd said "I wanted to keep on trying to get a better take but Tom called it a day" people would call her desperate/a try-hard and if she'd just said "thank you" people would probably find something to critize about that as well. Girl can't win, she's already too hated on here.
genbu_no_miko24 30th-Dec-2012 07:35 pm (UTC)
Nah she's been like this since Devil Wears Prada.
kaiserschmarrn 30th-Dec-2012 08:03 pm (UTC)
I've never watched her interviews or followed her so idk but there's no denying that ONTD kind of hates her for marginal reasons, I mean even if she's sometimes a little irritating she's pretty inoffensive and has given okay-ish to good performances. Oh well idec about her either way lol
vampireweekend 30th-Dec-2012 05:31 pm (UTC)
can't wait to see her win and see this place implode tbh
antique_faery 30th-Dec-2012 05:50 pm (UTC)
I think at this point people expect her to win, so it won't be as epic of a freakout.
kwikimart 30th-Dec-2012 07:27 pm (UTC)
what do you mean 'implode' everyone knows she is going to win?

no shade to you bb but this is just as annoying as those 'why does everyone hate her comments' when really ONTD has only just started disliking her
youbeboy 30th-Dec-2012 07:50 pm (UTC)
That's just not true.
brownxeyedxdork 30th-Dec-2012 05:33 pm (UTC)
I hope Queen Hathaslay wins the oscar.
overprotected 30th-Dec-2012 05:33 pm (UTC)
whatever

I LOVE YOU ANNE AND I HOPE YOU GET THE OSCAR
myheyday 30th-Dec-2012 05:42 pm (UTC)
I agree with you, Anne Hathaway. Your performance was eh.


prophecypro 30th-Dec-2012 05:44 pm (UTC)
Humble Brags
antique_faery 30th-Dec-2012 05:50 pm (UTC)
I can't wait to see this! I'm just waiting for the holidays to be over and for people to go back to work. I love sitting nearly alone at the movies.
revertigo 30th-Dec-2012 05:51 pm (UTC)
sameeee and easy finding parking
revertigo 30th-Dec-2012 05:50 pm (UTC)
i also can't believe people read quotes like this and take it seriously... she could be really proud and downplaying it for comedic effect.

It might be because she really is?
andreacarmela 30th-Dec-2012 06:17 pm (UTC)
personally i just feel like sometimes her words are taken out of context and certain parts of what she says is highlighted to make her sound really pretentious but then again this is just my opinion for this whole LesMis shenanigans. I haven't really looked up what she's like for everything else.
kwikimart 30th-Dec-2012 07:26 pm (UTC)
Uh we can't make her sound thirsty she is thirsty

She's always been thirsty, idk why you all are just noticing it
genbu_no_miko24 30th-Dec-2012 07:37 pm (UTC)
She is thirsty…always been.
pineandapple 30th-Dec-2012 06:09 pm (UTC)
And people wonder why some don't like her.
onyxobsidian 30th-Dec-2012 08:27 pm (UTC)
Whatever. She is a fantastic person

andreacarmela 30th-Dec-2012 09:32 pm (UTC)
damn she's gorgeous
