Anne Hathaway: I Want a “Law Abiding Boyfriend”
Ellen DeGeneres wants to find a date for newly single Anne Hathaway!
“I’m really good at setting people up,” DeGeneres tells the Bride Wars star in an episode of her talk show that airs Thursday. “If you need some one, I will find you a boyfriend.”
Hathaway isn’t picky.
“At this point I would just like him to be law abiding,” she jokes. Her last beau, Raffaello Folliero – whom she split from in June — is currently serving four years in prison for conspiracy, wire fraud and money laundering.
“Dating [means] leaving yourself exposed,” adds Hathaway.
“You don’t even have to date, you can go straight to commitment,” offers DeGeneres, to which Hathaway replies: “Oh, OK perfect.”
Hathaway says her breakup taught her “to have a sense of humor about everything.
“I’m sobbing, and I look up and I start laughing and said, ‘This is going to make a great opening monologue on SNL.’ So then, two weeks later I got the call that I was going to be on the show. I was like, ‘You know what, I’m going to get through it. I’m going to laugh first and nobody is going to be able to laugh at me, and eventually it will just be something that happened to me’ and now it is. I’m so thrilled.”
She also calls 2008 a “really transformative experience in a lot of good ways.”
Says DeGeneres: “That’s what you should get from any experience — something you learn from it, grow and appreciate it and never regret it.”
“And, never do it again!” adds Hathaway.
