Interstellar Q And A! Jessica Chastain Is Adorable! And Helps Billy Get Anne Hathaway To Sign His Poster As Anne Disses All Her Fans! Doh!
Since it’s Awards Season, a lot of people are out and about. I heard about a q and a taking place tonight and I decided to head out with Scotty and Billy Beer.
The q and a is Interstellar and stars Jessica Chastain, Anne Hathaway, and director Christopher Nolan were supposed to be here. I have the worst luck with Christopher Nolan and Anne Hathaway… Well… She’s not the nicest person on earth. (note the sarcasm).
When I arrived Billy Beer was already on the scene sporting, a new variation of facial hair. The next time we see him, he’ll have a mullet and a handle bar mustache.
More and more people were arriving and we’re all trying to line up. Everyone figures that’s the only way Anne Hathaway might actually sign something. I have little to no hope, but here I am.
There are about 30 people here, not Angelina Jolie level, but not too shabby. Scotty took his place in line and we all hoped for the best. Billy has a Les Miserables poster he’s been working on and only needs Anne Hathaway to finish. I have my Love and other Drugs mini poster for Anne along with a Vanity Fair magazine for Jessica Chastain. I also brought a Batman Begins mini poster for Christopher Nolan… But I’ve never been able to get him either. Ugh…
We’re all very organized and lined up. I mean, I like it calm and organized like this, other people like the madness, but I’m telling you, this is the way to go.
Then Anne Hathaway… Oh Anne.. Her car pulls up and she bolts out of the car. Now, I saw one foot hit the ground as she leaps from the car to the inside of the door. She showed up 45 minutes early, to sit at a table and do nothing. But she couldn’t take 3 minutes to sign one each for people? Really?
Billy decided to make a sign. He wrote, “Anne, I can you signed one each? I drove three hours and I need you to finish my Les Miserables poster.”
God Bless Billy Beer.
Then Jessica Chasten pulls up. Let me tell you, here are the differences between the two. While Anne Hathaway wouldn’t spit on a fan if they were on fire, Jessica Chasten skips on over to everyone to sign and do photos. She is so sweet. She even waits as another collector’s camera doesn’t work, and says, “I’ll come back, don’t worry.”
Jessica then goes down the full line. I mean you can’t even begin to talk about how kind she is. seriously.
Then on the way back, after Jessica Chastain signs for everyone, she stops to do another photo for Billy. Then Billy asks Jessica to take his sign to Anne Hathaway. He tells her about his poster and Jessica takes both from Billy. She goes inside and gets Anne to sign Billy’s poster.
That’s how nice she is.
10 minutes later out comes security, and Anne Hathaway signed Billy’s poster.
He’s happier than a pig in shit.
Scotty’s quote, “Anne Hathaway is a twat.” That just shows how she shits on fans.
Don’t mess with Scotty man. He is a fan scorned.
Then Billy turned the sign over and Anne and Jessica wrote a note on the back of Billy’s sign.
It’s cool, but again as Scotty says, “It’s a slap in the face to anyone who’s a fan of Anne Hathaway.”
I get his point, she’s not nice and is a fake, She’s been faking it all this time, and people see through it.
I used to love Anne Hathaway. LOVE HER. And then… I stopped. I’ve gotten her to sign, if there’s a camera on her, she will break down, come off her high horse and do it, but otherwise forget it.
I’m getting off my soapbox… Until next time kids…

What a load of rubbish. So ungrateful. I have met Anne many times and each time she has always made time to stop and is so lovely, I have never seen her ignore anyone. I mean there will be times for her where she doesn’t feel like stopping like every celeb. Billy should be grateful he even got an autograph. You’ve probably not had the luck with her but she is certainly not fake.
I think it depends on the location, celeb, number of people, et al. Most of the time I’ve heard Anne stops and signs for people. Maybe Mike just happens to hit her ‘off’ days, I don’t know.
It’s the same with Jennifer Lawrence. She has her off days, but most of the time she’s really good with fans. I mean, she recently was at the Mockingjay premieres and she went above and beyond for them. Same as last year too. She makes sure to sign for everyone.
Point taken – I’ve had only bad luck with Chastain and she seems super sweet to everyone else all the time.
You know I’ve tried for Anne Hathaway before but she has her nose in the air and has never even given people a wave! No longer a fan for sure!
Funny story. How can u not live Jessica chastain? I’ve never heard of someone doing this!
Hilarious story. How can you not LOVE Jessica Chastain? I have never heard of someone doing this before!
Wow – Billy gets a fanGIRL and a fanWOMAN – well played sir.
Just because you haven’t seen someone be rude, doesn’t mean they’re not. The fan community is pretty united in the fact that Anne is not a nice person. It’s not based on one or two attempts; it’s based on a multitude of encounters. While we’re thrilled you’ve always had great experiences, that’s incredibly uncommon with Anne. Consider yourself lucky that you’ve never experienced her “fake” side.
OK, the story is a little off. Did not take another picture with her, I actually told Jessica to tell Anne that we are civil and in a single file line. I then tell her I’ve been trying to get my cast piece done for 2 years, and I drove 3 hours to get there. She see’s it and asks if anyone else is inside. We tell her Anne is inside and then she tells me to give her my picture and a pen. Then she asked what my sign said. After she read it, she took it and the picture inside with her.
As for Anne, I’ve loved her work for years! But she got the Oscar and Catwoman burnout a couple of years ago. She constantly got surrounded everywhere she went. A lot of actors and actresses get it. She’s a tougher graph to get. If she doesn’t feel like signing which seems to be more often then not, she’ll pretty much ignore the fans. That can come off poorly with the fans. I have seen her be very good with fans too. But those times are usually in public settings like Mike said. I’m still extremely grateful for her signing, and you will never hear me say a negative word about Jessica Chastain. That woman was put on this planet to make people smile.
It was a night I won’t forget for a long time. I think everyone at work has already heard the story a million times.
OMG! I SPELLED YOU’RE WRONG ON MY SIGN! SHE PROBABLY FELT BAD FOR ME!
We all felt bad for you Billy! 😉
Did anyone get an autograph of Anne (aside from the writer)? If so, anyone else get pictures of her signing and etc? Someone was able to obtain an autograph for me that night and was hoping someone may have took a photo. Thanks! 🙂
Mark, my buddy shot video of her signing about 5-6 things when she exited. Yours is the first one she signs I’m assuming. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6wnasGUCFs
Wow…thank you for sharing this video. I’m surprised you got that on film. 🙂 Yes, one of my friends in California was able to get one for me. THANKS AGAIN! I appreciate it. 😉
