The 2005 movie scene that left Anne Hathaway “terrified and sick to my stomach”

Anne Hathaway said filming a particular nude scene for the 2005 film *Havoc* left her “terrified and sick to my stomach”. She had taken the role at 22 to move beyond the teen and family parts associated with her early career, but felt uneasy about the scene’s camera angle and questioned whether it was necessary.

Hathaway said director Barbara Kopple told her the shot had to be filmed that way, and later declined to revisit the decision. After seeing the finished film, Hathaway still disliked the shot but concluded it helped show that her character had little respect for her body or sexual identity. The article argues that clearer discussions and intimacy coordination could help actors address such concerns before filming.
