The actress nearly walked away with a spot in a legendary movie

The career of an actress is full of decisions, sometimes they are the right decisions, while others cause everlasting regret. Luck played a key role more than a decade ago for Scarlett Johansson, who by then was already one of the most established actresses in Hollywood.

It all goes back to 2012, when the performer was enjoying a purple patch having just featured in ‘Avengers’. At that time, Johansson took part in several castings, and there was one she was very excited about. She auditioned to play Fantine in the musical ‘Les Miserables’, which opened on the big screen on December 25 of that year.

“It was perfect and I think fateful and meant to be,” she told Broadway.com. “I auditioned with laryngitis. I did everything I could to, like, not have laryngitis. I sang my little heart out.”

Anne Hathaway eventually won the role, and Johansson believes Hathaway gave a stellar performance. She added: “I think, looking at the film now, there’s no possible way I ever could have topped that performance. It was fun for me to revisit thatThe jazz hands kid inside me was just over the moon!”

The hate campaign against Anne Hathaway

Hathaway‘s casting, on the other hand, started a wave of hate on social networks, and after the premiere, many pointed out that the attitude of the actress in each awards ceremony .Above all, the moment of greatest tension was at the Golden Globes, an award won by Hathaway as best actress.

At the event, the actress showed an erratic attitude and, after delivering her speech, she returned to the stage when her film won the award for best picture and, instead of letting someone else take the floor, she continued with her previous speech.

From that moment on, social networks started a hate campaign against Hathaway and hashtags such as #Hathahaters and #Hathahate went viral. Others, on the other hand, defended the actress, assuring that it was a role and that she was “faking it”.
