Hollywood actress Anne Hathaway, who recently announced the third part of her popular movie franchise, ‘Princess Diaries', has reportedly apologised to a journalist for an ‘awful' interview she gave during 'Les Miserables' in 2012. Anne sent a comprehensive email to Norwegian entertainment journalist Kjersti Flaa, who earlier went viral for her Blake Lively interview.

The video of the interview which has resurfaced on social media shows Flaa asking Hathaway to sing, followed by her celebrity crush, both of which were answered with a polite "No."

Flaa shared in a video on social media, "Yesterday I did receive an email. It was from Anne Hathaway's publicist, and he forwarded a message to me from Anne Hathaway. I have to say, I was pretty shocked. I had not expected her to reach out to me at all. I thought she was never gonna even see that video, but she did. And she did something pretty amazing."

The journalist added, "She sent me a long email explaining to me what she was going through right then when she did this interview, and she apologised for being… giving me an awful interview, basically. It was so touching to me. Just talking about it makes me almost teary-eyed because I was just so grateful that she did that."
