Extra coffee calmed my nerves : Anne Hathaway

Having lent her voice to the successful animated feature Hoodwinked, actor Anne Hathaway is back to voicing — this time as a macaw character Jewel in Rio.

However, what is drawing headlines is the dimpled beauty’s big screen singing debut in the movie.“That morning I had
an extra cup of coffee to steel my nerves… singing in front of Sergio and Will.I.Am — I’m sure you can imagine,” she says.

“Rio has a totally modern sound and it was amazing to experience this coming together of styles to create a new kind of ‘fusion music’,” says the 28-year-old.

Hathaway reveals she loves to lend her voice for animated ventures. “It’s always been such an honour. I did The Simpsons and now Anna Hathawaythis,” says Hathaway, who was this year’s Academy Awards co-host alongside James Franco. Throwing light on her character, the actor says, “Jewel is fiercely independent and hates the idea of being stuck in a contained environment.  She rejects having any kind of limitations put on her. Being the last of her kind has made Jewel a survivor and she wants to keep it that way.”

Talking about the movie, she adds, “Rio is all about getting out of your own way and pushing expectations aside — of being in the moment and letting yourself fly."
