As a formerly chronically stressed young woman, Anne Hathaway revealed in the first episode of New York Magazine’s “The Interview” podcast that she took life for granted and experienced constant stress. The 41-year-old actress is reflecting gracefully on her past as a “chronically stressed” young actress.

“You’re clueless. The lights could go out if something fell from the sky. Consequently, I simply tell myself, “You are not going to die stressed,” whenever I notice my old impulses returning.

Hathaway said has faced some uncomfortable experiences when she was just getting her start as an actress.

The “Princess Diaries” actress claimed she “didn’t know how to breathe yet,” but she couldn’t explain why she was under so much stress.

She said, “That was really complicated.” Actually, the basic answer is everything, thus it’s too huge of a response. I was preoccupied with a lot of things.

Hathaway talked about having difficulty breathing as well as feeling uneasy in her own skin, which she describes as a somatic sensation.

There was a lot of physical stress there, she continued, but talking about the estrangement I felt from my body feels a little too vulnerable.

The “Les Misérables” actress admitted that throughout her early acting career, she had gone through several awkward situations.

Hathaway revealed to V Magazine earlier this month that she had previously been asked to kiss ten men as part of a chemistry test.

“We have 10 guys coming today, and you’re cast,” I was informed. She recalled, “Aren’t you excited to make out with all of them?”

I then asked myself, ‘Is there something wrong with me?’ since I wasn’t thrilled. It sounded awful, in my opinion,” she remarked.

She claimed that even though she didn’t want to complete the work, she took the test because she didn’t want to be classified as “difficult.”

The Oscar winner said, “It wasn’t a power play; nobody was trying to be horrible or hurt me.” “It was just a different era, and we have more knowledge now.”
