Anne Hathaway is one of the world's most successful actresses, with an Oscar, Emmy, and Golden Globe under her belt, but she recently revealed that becoming famous messed her up "for a really long time."
"I didn't know how to do it; I didn't know how to engage with it; it stressed me out. And people would say, 'You just have to be yourself,' and I was like, 'But I don't know who that is yet!", she added.

The 31-year-old actress has played Catwoman in Christopher Nolan's Batman franchise, won an Oscar for her role in Les Miserables, and played a princess alongside Julie Andrews in The Princess Diaries, but speaking to Elle magazine she revealed it's only been this past year that she has learnt to relax.
"The thing I’ve learned this past year is to chill out. I think when you’re young and struggling to find yourself, there’s something alluring about the idea of being tortured. "Life for me these days is a lot about letting the unknown be wonderful, and letting myself feel safe."
