Anne Hathaway admits she ‘didn’t feel happy’ when she won her Oscar for Les Misérables
Actress felt 'uncomfortable' and 'guilty' collecting the prize
ANNE Hathaway has confessed she felt miserable when she won her Oscar in 2013.
The American actress, 33, got the coveted gold statue for her portrayal of prostitute Fantine in Les Misérables.
She famously delivered a gushing acceptance speech, but now she's admitted she only pretended to be happy.
Anne told : "I felt very uncomfortable. I kind of lost my mind doing that movie and it hasn't come back yet.
"Then I had to stand up in front of people and feel something I don't feel which is uncomplicated happiness.
"It's an obvious thing, you win an Oscar and you're supposed to be happy. I didn't feel that way.
"I felt wrong that I was standing there in a gown that cost more than some people are going to see in their lifetime, and winning an award for portraying pain that still felt very much part of our collective experience as human beings."
