Hawaii rescue tale false, Hathaway says of photo

PARK CITY, Utah >> Don’t worry, Anne Hathaway is OK.

Recently paparazzi photos circulated of the Oscar winner on vacation in Hawaii with her husband and looking like she was having an emergency while in the ocean. Reports stated she had gotten caught in a riptide, was injured and had to be rescued.

While attending the Sundance premiere of her movie “Song One,” Hathaway said: “I’m fine. … I really do appreciate everybody’s concern, but that was a picture that had a false story attached to it. The real story is not as interesting.”

“Song One” stars Hathaway as a woman estranged from her family who returns home when her brother is in a serious accident. While she deals with her emotions as her brother is in a coma, she explores the Brooklyn music scene.

Hathaway does sing in the film and says it was far less pressure than when she had to sing “I Dreamed a Dream” for “Les Mise­rables.”

“It wasn’t as much pressure because my character is not a singer, a musician anything, so there is no pressure to, I don’t know, to please the fans of the music, I guess,” she said.
