At the Democratic National Convention on Monday night, Princess Diaries actress Anne Hathaway told press that she wasn’t sure how she first felt about presidential candidate Barack Obama - revealing that she was hesitant to trust Obama because she had placed her trust into other candidates and been let down before.
“I’ve been burned by politicians before that I wanted to believe in and just didn’t live up to it,” the star explained. “And I was afraid to trust him and I was afraid to have hope when I first kind of became aware of him.”
It was Obama’s speech on race that swayed the Get Smart actress’ opinion, “I just said, ‘I can’t deny how I feel about you, Barack Obama. I want you to be the president. I want you in the White House." Well, there you have it, looks like Hathaway is an Obama fan!
