And the Oscar goes to…?
Anne Hathaway had better hope her performance in Les Miserables is more memorable than her personality because according to Manolo Blahnik, the actress is quite forgettable.
The shoe designer dismisses the Oscar-nominated actress in a chat that appears in the latest issue of Interview magazine.
The 70-year-old says: “Anne Hathaway…Pretty? Yes.
“Wonderful actress? Yes. But, I mean, I don’t even remember her. What is it about her?”
When fashion writer Tim Blanks suggests the actress was “very good” as Cat Woman in the Batman movie The Dark Knight Rises, the designer gives a stinging response.
“As Cat Woman, yes,” he said. “And I’m not saying she’s not beautiful or a great actress. I just don’t remember her.”
But the 30-year-old shouldn’t feel too badly. Blahnik has lumped her co-star Amanda Seyfried into the same instantly forgettable category.
