Anne Hathaway — Jerry Penacoli

In 2012, a memorable and somewhat awkward interview occurred between Anne Hathaway and Jerry Penacoli, a reporter from Extra. The interview was conducted amid Anne’s promotional efforts for “The Dark Knight Rises.” However, what became the talk of the town was not the film itself but the interview’s peculiar tone.

Jerry Penacoli’s line of questioning primarily revolved around Anne’s body, fitness regimen, and dietary choices. Anne, who had more profound and meaningful topics to discuss, grew increasingly frustrated by the superficial nature of the questions. Throughout the interview, she repeatedly attempted to steer the conversation toward more substantive matters. It was evident that Anne’s irritation was mounting, and the interview reached its tipping point when she confronted Jerry, saying, “Are you trying to lose weight? What’s the deal, man? You look great.” This candid moment indicated Anne’s exasperation with the interview’s direction and her desire to focus on more relevant and engaging topics.
