Anne Hathaway’s Sex Appeal: She Was Told She Had None
Anne Hathaway attends the National Board Of Review 2024 Awards Gala at Cipriani 42nd Street on January 11, 2024 in New York City.
Anne Hathaway has been famous for more years than she hasn’t. She revealed in a new cover feature for Vanity Fair how, at the start of ther career, she was told she had no sex appeal.
Yes, the same Hathaway that starred in The Devil Wears Prada and as Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises. However, when she was just starting out, the New Jersey native was cast in the short-lived television series Get Real (1999 to 2000). In 2001, she made her cinematic breakthrough with The Princess Diaries.
As a child, the mother of two tells Vanity Fair how noticeably different men’s and women’s roles were in movies. She pointed out how young men were the pursuers of their desires while young women were reduced to objects of desire. “One is active, the other is passive.” Identifying herself with the former, the self-described misfit notes how she never believed people when they told her she didn’t have sex appeal.

Blaming it on her being a Scorpio (her birthday is on November 12), the star confidently states, “I know what I’m like on a Saturday night.” During the time she was coming up in Hollywood, Hathaway says the male gaze was very “dominant,” “pervasive,” and “juvenile.” As we previously reported, the actress recalled a completely inappropriate question she was asked when she was just 16 years old. One of the very first questions she ever got asked during a press tour was: “‘Are you a good girl or a bad girl?'”
Since she’s become a mother and quit alcohol, the actress tells the publication that this is the first time she’s “known” herself this well. Now, she laughs off the headlines and doesn’t “live in what others think of me.” Her newfound clarity led her to star in and produce The Idea of You. In the Amazon adaptation of the book, Hathaway plays a 40-year-old divorcée who finds love with a 24-year-old boy-band member (Nicholas Galitzine). Fully embracing her age, she’s proud to depict a “fully realized woman experiencing her sexual bloom at the time of life when women are told they’ll become invisible.”
Next up, Hathaway and Jessica Chastain will star in the psychological thriller Mothers’ Instinct as women whose relationship fractures after the young son of Hathaway’s character dies in a freak accident. Then, Hathaway and Salma Hayek will produce and star in an action buddy comedy called Seesaw Monster, Netflix’s adaptation of the novel by Japanese author Kotaro Isaka, who also wrote Bullet Train.
The Most-Searched Celebrity Nudes
For some reason, famous people’s nudes are highly sought after in the age of OnlyFans. A study conducted by Swedish sex toy company LELO identified the most-wanted celebrity nudes that people are searching for online. The site used Google Keyword Planner to analyze the interest in different celebrity nude pictures and similar inquiries that were sexual in nature. In addition, the research provides information regarding which states are looking for particular celebrity images the most. Interestingly enough, the top ten most-searched celebrity nudes were all women. The company noted that in their findings, the most searched are actresses. The search count is per year, from February 2023 to February 2024.
Luka Matutinović, Lelo’s Chief Marketing Officer, said of the findings: “People always search for information regarding celebrities, mainly when they see them in films or hear about them in the media. For instance, someone like Jennifer Lawrence, who’s been in a lot of big films, might attract more interest because fans feel like they know her from her roles. This can lead people to search for more about her personal life, including private photos. It’s just human nature to be curious, especially about those constantly in the public eye.”
Some of the Most-Searched Celebrity Nudes
Kicking off the list of ten most-searched celebrity nudes is Game of Thrones‘ very own Khaleesi, Emilia Clarke. The English actress is searched 135,000 times on average, with the most interest and hits coming from Kansas. Another popular search inquiry about this actress is “Emilia Clarke Game of Thrones hot scenes.”
Another actress famous for her fantasy role is close behind, with Harry Potter alum Emma Watson taking ninth place on the list of most wanted celebrity nudes. Though she hasn’t acted since 2019’s Little Women and has no interest in acting anymore, her legacy lives on. Watson’s nudes are searched 201,000 times, with Alaska being the top hit.
Taking eighth place is an actress who gained popularity in the first two Transformers films: Megan Fox. The mother of two’s nudes are searched 247,000 times, with most inquiries being “Megan Fox OnlyFans leaked.” Though Fox does not have OnlyFans, one person is taking advantage of being told she looks just like her on the subscription site.
Scarlett Johansson holds the seventh spot on the list of most wanted celebrity nudes, garnering 250,000 online searches. As one of the highest-paid actresses in recent years, it is no surprise that the screen siren has so many searches. Most of the searches come from Rhode Island.
In sixth place, a celebrity who became famous for her sex tape is Kim Kardashian. The reality star and business tycoon’s nudes are searched 268,000 times. Another frequently searched inquiry is “Kim K for Playboy,” showing curiosity to see her in a revealing photoshoot. She posed for the magazine in 2007 and has actually expressed regret on the series finale reunion of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, advising her younger self, “I would say don’t be so trusting.”
