Born: October 1, 1972 in London, England, UK

I’m sitting at the Oscars [in 2012] pretty sure that I’m going to direct “Les Miz” but not sure at all who I’m going to cast. And Anne Hathaway steps forth, to the front of the stage and sings a rendition of “On My Own,” to Hugh Jackman. And I’m going: Hold on a second, is Anne Hathaway using the Oscar stage as the ultimate auditioning platform for her talents and is she also suggesting Hugh Jackman while she’s at it? Or is this just coincidence? She claims it’s coincidence. I think she’s too shrewd. But we’ll never know.
