Anne Hathaway Net Worth: Actress Says She's 'Losing Parts to 24-Year-Olds'

Anne Hathaway has started going through the struggles of being an "older" actress.

US Magazine reports that the 32-year-old actress has revealed she has now felt what it's like to lose a role to a younger artist.

Hathaway, who had her first major acting break in the 2001 movie The Princess Diaries when she was 17 opened up to Glamour UK on how she feels about already belonging in the "older" group.

"I can't complain about it because I benefitted from it," she told the magazine about losing parts to younger actresses. "When I was in my early twenties, parts would be written for women in their fifties and I would get them. And now I'm in my early thirties and I'm like, 'Why did that 24-year-old get that part?'"

"I was that 24-year-old once, I can't be upset about it, it's the way things are," she said. "All I can do right now is think that thankfully you have built up perhaps a little bit of cachet and can tell stories that interest you and if people go to see them you'll be allowed to make more."

That didn't come as a surprise for her since she was in her early twenties when she starred as Andy Sachs in The Devil Wears Prada in 2006 alongside then 57-year old Meryl Streep (now 66) and 21-year-old Emily Blunt (now 32).

Hathaway, who has a net worth of $35 million also considered doing other things aside from acting - like starting a book club with her former co-star and friend, Blunt, and Jessica Chastain.

"I'm trying right now to start a book club with Em and Jessica, because they're working on a movie together," Hathaway explained. "I said, 'Let's all read this book!' But I'm not working and they are, so it's not going very well."

Hathaway's Glamour UK cover issue will hit the stands in October.
