Despite her tough-as-nails exterior, Anne Hathaway says fame was once too much to bear.

“The fame thing? F–ked me up for a really long time,” the Oscar winner, 31, revealed in the October issue of Elle UK.

The “Interstellar” actress recalls struggling to cope with the attention she was receiving. “I didn’t know how to do it; I didn’t know how to engage with it; it stressed me out,” she ranted.

Hathaway, now married to Adam Shulman, says she received advice that she didn’t know how to follow. “And people would say, ‘You just have to be yourself,’ and I was like, ‘But I don’t know who that is yet!’”
