Anne Hathaway Admits Having A Self Destructive Past Like Lindsay Lohan

UPDATE-Anne Hathaway wants you to know she’s no saint – least you thought troubled actress Lindsay Lohan was the only one cornering the bad girl market.

Newly engaged and promoting her new film ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Hathaway tells the Sun,

“Lindsay Lohan and I have more in common than people think. We’ve all done things we shouldn’t. It is just that I did stuff at college when nobody knew about it, so I’m not a saint. I wasted time doing self-destructive things.”

Despite Anne’s attempt to empathize with Lindsay, no one relates her character to a bad girl – perhaps it’s because she learned that the routine gets old really fast.

“I found you can only dance on so many table tops. I got all that out of my system and I am healthy and grounded thanks to my mother,” she added.

Lucky for Lindsay she’s heading down a similar path when she recently sat down with Matt Lauer and revealed her troubled days are behind her.

The “I Know Who Killed Me” actress has been going through a revolving door for jail and rehab stints since a 2007 arrest for drunk driving, cocaine possession, and later theft.

Though Lindsay has been afflicted with addiction and denial of her problems, Lohan is literally one court appearance away from putting a bevy of legal issues behind her.

“That’s not my thing anymore. I went out, actually, a few months ago with a friend. And I was so uncomfortable. Not because I felt tempted, just because it was just the same thing that it always was before. And it just wasn’t fun for me. I’ve become more of a homebody. And I like that.”

Perhaps one day Lindsay can say she’s more like Anne Hathaway then people imagine….and we would believe her.

 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
