CEBU, Philippines - In Hollywood, 32 is apparently over the hill.
In Glamour UK’s October issue, Anne Hathaway reveals how she’s already losing out on roles to younger actresses.
“I can’t complain about it because I benefited from it,” Hathaway says. “When I was in my early 20s, parts would be written for women in their 50s, and I would get them. And now I’m in my early 30s, and I’m like, ‘Why did that 24-year-old get that part?’”
But she’s keeping her perspective on things.
“I was that 24-year-old once,” she muses. In fact, she was only 22 when she landed her role in “The Devil Wears Prada.”
“I can’t be upset about it; it’s the way things are.”
Obviously, Hathaway isn’t the first victim of ageism in Hollywood: Earlier this year, Maggie Gyllenhaal revealed she’d been told that, at 37, she was “too old” to play the love interest of a 55-year-old man.
