Anne didn't reckon on movie career
1:57pm Wednesday 20th August 2008
Although Anne Hathaway's career has gone from strength to strength in recent years, the star admits she didn't think she'd ever make it into movies.
"I didn't ever think I'd have a movie career, I always thought I'd be a theatre actress and so just the idea now that I've gotten to play so many different roles, I'm really having a blast doing that," said the star who went from costume drama Becoming Jane to playing a special agent in new film Get Smart.
"My general broad thing that I look for when I'm choosing a role is I like to be the exact opposite of what was the last thing I played," she admits.
"I like things that frighten me. I like doing things I don't believe I can do and sometimes I can't do them and they don't turn out well, and sometimes they do connect and that's always good, that's always such a relief."
