MANILA, Philippines – On January 18, the video of Philippine Star Entertainment columnist Ricky Lo’s interview with “Les Miserables” star and Golden Globes Best Actress Anne Hathaway started going viral, with people on social media describing it as “disastrous,” “awkward,” and “controversial.”
Some commented, “Nakakahiya (shameful),” and a few dubbed it, “How not to do an interview.”
The interview begins with Lo asking Hathaway: “You lose the (sic) 25 pounds for Fantine. How did you do it and how did you gain it back?”
With a small laugh, Hathaway replied: “I’d rather not talk about the weight loss, please.”
It started going downhill from there, picking up a bit when the columnist mentioned Philippine pride Lea Salonga being Hathaway’s fan. It went downhill again when Lo asked, “Have you ever experienced to be… poor just like the character?”
Hathaway replied, “That’s a very personal question.”
