Anne
Hathaway
suffered
from
anxiety
and
depression
as
a
teenager.
'The
Devil
Wears
Prada'
actress
was
crippled
by
the
conditions
but
refused
to
take
medication
and
battled
through
her
dark
times
with
sheer
will
power.
Anne
told
People
magazine:
"I
said
to
my
mom
the
other
day,
'Do
you
remember
that
girl?
She
has
now
gone
now,
gone
to
sleep.
She
has
said
her
peace
and
she
is
gone.
But
then
I
thought,
'I
so
remember
her
but
she
is
no
longer
part
of
me.'
I
just
got
through
it."
Anne, 24, regrets spending so much time obsessing about herself and would never allow herself to become self-obsessed again. She explained: "I am sorry she was hurting for so long. It's all so negatively narcissistic to be so consumed with one's self." In her new movie, 'Becoming Jane', Anne portrays celebrated British author Jane Austen. Surprisingly, the actress almost turned down the role before meeting British actress Emma Thompson - who starred in the 1995 film adaptation of Austen's novel 'Sense and Sensibility'.
Anne admits she was too scared to tell her idol that she was going to snub the chance to play the acclaimed writer. She said: "I was having doubts but then I met Emma who asked me what I was doing. I couldn't tell her I was not going to play Jane Austen. So I just did it."
