Emma Roberts’ Wants To Be the Next Anne Hathaway
The niece of Oscar Winning Actress Julia Roberts, Emma Roberts, is not new to the Hollywood circuit. Only, she is growing to be more and more visible these days as she transitions from teenage star to perhaps one of Hollywood’s A List Actors just like her aunt.
But the young actress is set on following the career of Anne Hathaway, whose Hollywood track record may be similar to Emma’s.
In 2004 Emma Roberts was the star of a kids variety show in Nickelodeon. Then about 17 years old, the young star eventually broke into the big business of movies, laying out the path to what should hopefully a flourishing entertainment career.
Asked why she loves to follow in the footsteps of Anne, the young actress says this via Moviehole.Net —-
“I just think it’s very thin ice you’re walking on, to make the transition from child actor to adolescence. Because so many people just mess it up, and they do things that are so outrageous. Anne Hathaway - the fact she was in The Princess Diaries, you’d never think about that. Whereas, like, Lindsay Lohan, you still know that she was in Freaky Friday and The Parent Trap, and it’s hard to take her seriously. So that’s why I really like Anne Hathaway, she is a great example. I think she’s been nominated for so many awards this year. And the fact that she starred in a Disney movie when she was in her teens - a lot of people don’t even know that, I don’t think.”

While I see where she is coming from saying that some people can’t be taken seriously once they are stars in a teen movie, it was harder for me to not picture Anne Hathaway as anything but Princess Amelia for so long. Especially because her roles beyond that were still light-hearted and teeny-bopper. This latest movie, her serious movie, is a great one. She really pulls you away from that type of role and I think that is what helps in the movie reviews and for her.
