Anne Hathaway plays the wonderful Catwoman in Christian Bale starrer The Dark Knight Rises. Known for her impeccable acting, the actress did a wonderful job of portraying Catwoman, making it one of the most famous portrayals of the DC character. Despite her excellent job in the film, during one of her interviews for the movie, Hathaway was asked a couple of unrelated and inappropriate questions. And it was only understandable that she called him out.

While speaking to Jerry Penacoli, an interviewer for Extra TV, Hathaway was subjected to multiple questions related to her body, physique, and fitness regime. She was asked multiple times about whether she had to be in ‘perfect shape’ for the movie, whether the ‘form-fitting’ suit was comfortable to wear, and what was her diet and exercise routine in comparison to Christian Bale’s.

Even though Hathaway tried to dodge the questions multiple times, she finally had enough after the interviewer refused to back down and retorted back,

“Are you trying to lose weight? What’s the deal, man? You look great. Seriously, we have to talk about this. What do you want? Are you trying to fit into a catsuit?”

Despite the uncomfortableness and blatant sexism, Anne Hathaway deflected all the repeated inquiries with an air of grace.
